AVEINE The brand that enhances the pleasure of sharing Aveine was born out of an encounter between three entrepreneurs with a shared passion for wine and technology. It was naturally over a bottle of wine that they came up with an idea for a device that would reinvent wine tasting. Tapping into France's heritage as a great wine-producing country, and today s advanced technology, Aveine creates connected objects that allow people to embrace authentic French art de vivre, which is all about exploring and sharing new experiences. Crafted as a lifestyle brand, Aveine is presenting its first product the Aveine Smart Wine Aerator perfectly calibrated to any bottle, giving everyone the opportunity to enjoy wine at its best. 2
Precisely calculates the ideal aeration of any wine, allowing immediate consumption upon opening of the bottle. Uses patented technology to recreate the aeration process in a controlled manner by mixing air into the wine as it flows from the bottle, exposing it to more oxygen. The process does not alter the wine's intrinsic qualities (no chemicals are involved). The wine aerator can be used with all types of wine bottles. 3
Users download a free smartphone app that is used to control the Aveine Smart Wine Aerator. After scanning the label on the bottle, the wine is identified by pulling from a database and using AI, then pairs with the Aerator to calibrate it to that wine s ideal level of aeration. The feature-rich app is free, easy to use, interactive and educational, and offers wine tasting tips from sommeliers, oenologists, wine growers and other members of the Aveine community. The Aerator can also be used without the app, allowing users to have fun trying out different levels of aeration and exploring new tastes. 4
The realm of possibilities is expanded and allows the users to broaden their palate. The unique "opening" process breathes air into the wine, releasing its flavors and aromas and bringing it to life. The result: a cutting-edge technology which allows all consumers to enjoy wine at its best. 5
Sparking people's curiosity and inspiring their thinking is also part of our role. When customers trust us, they ask us to show them more. People want to explore new horizons and experience new sensations. [ ] This aerator is particularly useful for 'natural wine', that is wine that has been made without any chemical interference, which in some cases needs to be decanted for as long as 24 hours. The amazing thing is the time you save. In this fast-paced world, time gained on the preparation is time that can be used to focus on the tasting. Today, people want everything right away. If a customer orders a wine that needs to breathe, this tends to put them off. Having a device that does the job for you would be wonderful! 6
January 8, 2018 A French startup made a wine gadget that s supposed to decant for hours in an instant The Aveine Aerator, lets you dial in exactly how much you want to aerate your wine, letting you give a glass the equivalent of between one and 24 hours of decanting just by pouring it. A connected app is supposed to help you figure out exactly how long is ideal for any given wine. [ ] THE AERATOR DEFINITELY MADE A DIFFERENCE It absolutely does make a difference. I compared a glass of red wine poured through the aerator against one poured without it [ ] it was clear that the aerated wine had a much smoother taste and lacked a lot of the non-aerated wine s harsh edges. [ ] The Aerator is the first product from Aveine, a French startup that s been at work for a little over a year and has grown in size to 14 employees. January 7, 2018 Aveine takes the wait out of aerating wine Aerating wine can dramatically improve the taste by just letting it sit in a glass or decanter for a while. However, sometimes you don't really want to wait an hour (or several hours) to have that first sip [ ] No more waiting until the perfect amount of time has elapsed to have a glass. The gadget attaches to a wine bottle and features a touch panel on the front for adjusting the aeration level and displaying the wine's temperature. There's a companion app that allows you to scan the label of your bottle so the software can provide a suggested aeration time. The company says that if the app's database doesn't recognize what you've scanned, you can manually add it. Based on a few questions, it will still give a suggestion for aeration -- even for those bottle you have to add yourself. And yes, if you already know you like that 2009 Pinot Noir aerated for 4 hours, you can skip all the app stuff and manually adjust the time period. 7
