Place the glass in contact with the pouring spout, or at most 10 cm above, to avoid splashing. A jet that is too long can slightly foam the wine on the surface by the pressure of the flow.

To ensure total hygiene, the gooseneck spout is easily cleaned with water using a small brush provided in the Prestige Box. The material used is of very high quality, it does not absorb odors and does not deteriorate over time. Assembled or not, it is recommended to clean it after each end of bottle or change of wine color.

It is advisable to keep the bottles vertically to ensure a perfect seal.

This preservative has a dual purpose: it serves both as an anti-drip and prevents oxidation for the small part of wine that remains in the gooseneck. In the event of absence, the small area of ​​wine in the pouring spout may oxidize. In the long term, the benefits of Wikeeps® will be reduced .

The smaller the amount will be in your carafe, the faster the wine will open. The wine is always faster in a carafe than in an open bottle because the oxygen intake is stronger.

Yes, there are today more modern methods than the carafe to air the wine quickly. Powerful accessories based on the Bernoulli tube system are effective.The principle is based on the technique of fluids, this allows to bring the right amount of air in the right time, allowing your wine to breathe instantly. It reveals a better bouquet, intensified aromas and a softer finish. It’s quick and easy. The faster the speed of a fluid, the lower the pressure in the fluid. When the wine passes through this tube, the speed of the wine is accelerated and therefore the pressure is decreased.

The pressure difference makes it possible to mix the wine with the return air, which allows a perfect aeration.For decant experts, this principle combines perfectly with the Wikeeps® so as not to salivate in front of your carafe until your nectar fulfills all its promises.
