Abstract

An apparatus includes a body having a length extending from a first end to a second end. The body defines a bore extending through the entirety of the body and at least one of a plurality of grooves or holes around the bore. The body has a length that is dimensioned to be received entirely within a neck of a container.

Claims (30)

1. An aerator, comprising:

a body having a length extending from a first end to a second end, the body dimensioned to be received entirely within a neck of a container and defining:

a bore extending through the body from the first end to the second end, and

a plurality of holes extending through the body and completely encircled by material of the body from the first end to the second end, the plurality of holes being located around the bore.

2. The aerator of claim 1 , wherein the bore includes a reduced diameter section along a length of the bore.

3. The aerator of claim 1 , wherein the bore includes at least one interruption disposed along the length of the bore.

4. The aerator of claim 1 , wherein the bore includes a taper.

5. The aerator of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of holes are symmetrically arranged around the bore.

6. The aerator of claim 5 , wherein each hole of the plurality of holes has a diameter that is smaller diameter than a diameter of the bore.

7. The aerator of claim 1 , wherein each hole in the plurality of holes has a diameter that is smaller than a diameter of the bore.

8. The aerator of claim 1 , wherein each hole of the plurality of holes has a same diameter.

9. A system, comprising:

a container including a neck; and

an aerator disposed entirely within the container and at least partially within the neck, the aerator including a body having a length extending from a first end to a second end, the body defining:

a central bore extending through the body from the first end to the second end, and

a plurality of holes extending through the body and completely encircled by material of the body from the first end to the second end, the plurality of holes being located around the bore.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the container is a wine bottle.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the length of the body is dimensioned to be received entirely within the neck of the container.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the bore includes a reduced diameter section along a length of the bore.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the bore includes at least one interruption disposed along the length of the bore.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the bore includes a taper.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of holes are symmetrically arranged around the bore.

16. The system of claim 9 , wherein each hole of the plurality of holes has a diameter that is smaller than a diameter of the bore.

17. The system of claim 9 , wherein each hole of the plurality of holes has the same diameter.

18. An aerator, comprising:

a body having a length extending from a first end to a second end, the body defining:

a central bore extending through the body from the first end to the second end, and

a plurality of holes extending through the body and completely encircled by material of the body from the first end to the second end, the plurality of holes located around the central bore.

19. The aerator of claim 18 , wherein the length of the body is dimensioned to be received entirely within a neck of a container.

20. The aerator of claim 18 , wherein the body includes at least one vane that divides the central bore into a plurality of sub-bores.
