Review on Black CellarDine Rouge 02 Electronic Wine Breather by Jason Stokes

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Product fraud

Totally useless product, can't do what it promises. The tube only goes 1/2 deep into the bottle and the timer goes off after about 1 minute with no noticeable effect on the taste. The number of blisters is anemic weak. Repeated 5 times with the same result. I glued a plastic straw to reach the bottom, but the pump is so weak, even with new batteries, that it won't pump air below 1/2 the depth of the bottle. Filled a wine bottle with water, added some sawdust, shook to mix, then tried the aerator with new batteries. The sawdust circulated very slowly and only in the top half of the bottle. A decent design concept that should work well with a more powerful pump that can actually push a significant amount of air to the bottom of the bottle. This garbage. I sent it back and am waiting for a refund. Take a decanter aerator and shake the wine several times for 10 minutes for a decent and quick aeration. I'll keep looking for a more powerful one that actually works because I'm lazy and love gadgets.
