Most of us may adore wine, but when confronted with the realities of being a true lover of the grape, we’re practically godless heathens. We pop the cork, fill up a glass and…glug, glug.
But as any true wine expert or sommelier will tell you, you really have to properly decant a wine to experience its true scope. Decanting separates a wine from any sediment that may have formed, while also aerating the liquor to supercharge the aromas and flavors within.
Trouble is, those same wine snobs will also tell you that many full-bodied vintages should be allowed to sit for an hour or even more before serving.
The Wake Up Wine Pro S electronic decanter says, nah, we’re not waiting an hour to drink up. In fact, most wines you put in the Wake Up only need about 5 to 10 minutes of aeration time before they’re ready to sample.
With the Wake Up, you pour your bottle into the 750 ml glass decanter, consult the chart to see how long that particular wine type needs, enter the number of minutes and press start. The internal blades slowly start churning your wine into a spinning tornado, opening up the liquid, and activating all the secret smells and tastes trapped inside. There’s even a super-fine sediment strainer that filters out impurities and sediments as fine as a millimeter.
Of course, it’s still at least a few minutes of wait time, so the Wake Up also doubles as a high quality, 360-degree omnidirectional Bluetooth speaker unit. Pair quickly with your phone and you can crank up the tunes while the Wake Up does its thing. The tri-color light ring on the Wake Up even syncs the light with your music so you get a complete audio-visual experience before you get your drink on.
With a built-in rechargeable battery, you’ll get up to 8 hours of continuous use out of the Wake Up before it needs more power, which should be more than enough time to run every wine in your house through its paces.
The Wake Up Wine Pro S retails for $299, but with this current offer, it’s available now at 50 off the regular price, down to just $149.99. Salute!
