It sits on top of the bottle and aerates the wine as it dispenses, which opens up a red in seconds rather than making everyone wait twenty minutes for a decanter to do its work.
You press a button and get a consistent pour every time, which also solves the friend who pours what they describe as generous and everyone else describes as most of the bottle.
The dosing is adjustable, so you can set a glass size and have every pour match rather than eyeballing it and running out halfway round the table.
It works for spirits too, which makes it genuinely useful for anyone who makes cocktails and would otherwise be hunting for a jigger in a drawer.
The touch controls make it feel like a proper gadget rather than a gimmick, and it's the sort of thing guests want a go of the moment they see it working.
It suits wine drinkers, dinner party hosts and anyone who already owns the openers, the preservers and the fancy glasses and is genuinely difficult to buy for.
You're giving something that comes out the same evening it's unwrapped, which is unusual and makes it a satisfying gift to hand over.
Check it takes batteries or charging and have that sorted before you give it. A gadget that can't be demonstrated the moment it's opened loses most of its impact, and nobody has the right batteries on Christmas Day.
