Description

A unique wine tasting tool conceived by a Woodland Star student that magifies the flavors in wine.  You will receive two Wine Prisms with Silver and Gold clips. 


There are numerous devices such as decanters and funnels that are effective aerators of wine, promoting the breathing process, but none that can deliver newly volatilized wine to your palate for an unencumbered taste of the wine. The Wine Prism then, is a volatilizer of wine, which actively energizes wine at the moment of tasting and as such is the only tool that does so.

Through a small hole, air and wine are combined in the glass stem allowing the connoisseur to evaluate wine more precisely and consistently than by the common method of drawing in air by the "reverse whistle" techinque.

By hyper-volatilizing the wine before it is altered by the pH in the mouth, the Wine Prism gives you a much more detailed examination of the various components of the wine: fruit, tannins, acidity, fermentation and barrel influence.

Not intended to replace casual wine drinking, the Wine Prism is made for critical evaluation of a wine's positive characteristics as well as its flaws that may shorten a wine's ageability and enjoyment.
