"Next time I’m asked about wine-breathing gadgets, I shall send the applicant straight to the Guide to Wine Gear section of Kelli A White’s new book Wine Confident: There’s No Wrong Way To Enjoy Wine (Académie du Vin Library, £25). ‘In my opinionated opinion,’ says White, ‘the only “aerator” you’ll ever need is a decanter.’ Awarding bonus points here for the eyebrow-raise of the inverted commas around the word aerator." - Telegraph
