Maker Louis Christen came up with the idea for Aervana when his daughter was studying to become a master sommelier. They would open bottles over the dinner table together and enjoy the unique character of each wine. Rather than wait for the wine to decant, Louis wanted to speed up the process so they could taste wine without waiting and pre-planning. After five years of development, Louis released the Aervana, a bottle top battery-powered wine aerator. Introducing oxygen to wines that are young, tannic, or bold helps reveal the true flavor profile of the wine and mellow compounds like sulfites and ethanol. The taste difference experienced by properly aerating wines that benefit from it comes close to nirvana. Therefore, using the product you experience "aeration nirvana" or "Aervana." Aervana simplifies aeration with its one-touch design, so you can enjoy your vino faster.
