The Centellino is a small, Italian made wine aerator and decanter designed to instantly improve a single glass of wine. Hand blown from crystal glass, it is shaped to sit directly on top of a wine bottle. When wine is poured through it, the liquid is forced into a gentle swirling motion that increases its contact with oxygen before it flows into the glass. This controlled exposure helps soften harsh tannins and open up aromas without the need for long decanting times.
Unlike traditional decanters that require pouring an entire bottle and waiting anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, the Centellino works one glass at a time. This makes it useful for drinkers who want the benefits of aeration without committing a full bottle or altering wine they plan to store. Its design also minimizes splashing and excessive oxidation, which can sometimes dull delicate wines when over aerated.
The Centellino is produced in Italy and is often marketed as a blend of functional wine tool and decorative glassware. It is commonly used for young red wines that benefit from aeration, though it can also enhance some fuller bodied whites. While it does not chemically age wine, it does replicate many of the immediate sensory effects of extended decanting by accelerating oxygen exposure in a controlled, repeatable way.

If you need to do this to enjoy wine, maybe you dont like wine
The rituals around wine is one aspect of the experience
Wine culture is so lame and gay
Is that a crack pipe ?
Managers love it because servers can't over pour patrons.
what the fuck is a tannin
Does this make any difference to the taste though?
So that air doesn’t get into the bottle and the wine doesn’t spoil?
If you just add air somehow it won't taste like rotten grape ass water😂
Smoking crack with the sophisticated crowd
Y ou wouldn't want to accidentally give them a drop more at $15. Per glass. 😅
