This gadget immediately aerates the wine for a better flavour and is compact enough at only 4×6 inches to take on a picnic or pack in your carry-on. If they enjoy their wine at home, they’ll love this portable aerator for use when they travel.
I believe, that most of us that travel on a regular basis would agree, we can never get enough tech gadgets! I enjoy surfing for gift ideas to buy for my friends and love making wish lists of all the items I dream of owning.
