Why the iFAVINE is the only decanter you should care about

Serious wine drinkers know the market is saturated with claims of “the best decanter” or the most refined way to drink the wine you’ve purchased. 

We’re here to tell you exactly why the iFAVINE smart decanter is the best investment for your home. And, as a bonus, why having it will impress everyone you know. 

What is a smart decanter? 

Traditionally, all a wine needs to properly decant is oxygen. Unfortunately, the air only contains 21% pure oxygen, and that’s why decanting takes such a long time. 

A smart decanter can aerate the wine and filter unwelcome chemicals in a fraction of the time that a traditional decanter would take. Don’t worry, we’ll explain how it works in just a moment.

What makes the iFAVINE different? 

The iFAVINE iSommelier can bring a wine to a maturity level that would ordinarily take years of perfect cellaring. And, it can do this in a matter of minutes.

Imagine this scenario: you’re at a gathering with some important people. Colleagues, potential clients, in-laws you’re trying to impress…take your pick. You run through the first bottle you’ve opened and perfectly decanted faster than you anticipated. You know you need to open another bottle from your impressive collection, but you certainly don’t have the time to decant it. Should you risk serving the wine before it’s had a chance to breathe? Or do you wait for it to reach it’s flavour potential while your guests get impatient. 

It’s a common problem for the socially inclined: how can you decant a wine as quickly as your guests are imbibing? 

Easy. With the iFAVINE. This smart gadget decants any wine in minutes rather than hours. Phew, evening saved. 

How does it work? 

The iSommelier uses a molecular filter technology to isolate oxygen from the air, filtering 90% purified oxygen throughout the wine in its unique carafe. 

The filter takes out carbon dioxide, nitrogen and dust particles in the air, leaving nearly pure oxygen. That oxygen is then pumped through the body of the wine quickly and efficiently. 

To put it simply, each iFAVINE minute is the equivalent of a normal decanter’s hour. Think about that – a lovely, full-bodied and perfectly aged wine in less than 5 minutes. In today’s rushed society, there’s something to be said for instant gratification. 

The iSommelier easily reduces traces of methanol, sulphur-dioxide and other harmful substances in the wine, making your entire wine-drinking experience healthier and easier. 

Aside from the health and time benefits, iSommelier provides maximum aroma and flavour. This nifty gadget accomplishes an ideal flavour profile by lowering the acidity of the wine and softening the tannins, bringing the utmost potential of each wine to its peak status.
