BOTTLING SYSTEM
A container system for liquids, including an in-container mixer/aerator in the exit throat of the container. The mixer/aerator is a cylinder, having axial peripheral grooves, and and axial central bore, divided by axial vanes.
1 . A container system for liquids, comprising:
a. a container for a liquid,
b. a throat on the container which allows liquid to be pored form the container,
c. a mixer/aerator in the throat of the bottle,
d. said mixer/aerator having a cylindrical outer surface,
e. said mixer/aerator having a plurality of axial grooves around the entire periphery of the cylindrical outer surface,
f. said mixer/aerator having an axial bore,
g. said mixer/aerator having an axial divider, that divides the bore into a plurality of axial sub-bores.
2 . A container system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the divider comprises an plurality of flat vanes connected to one another at the axis of the mixer/aerator.
3 . A container system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the divider comprises an plurality of curves vanes connected to one another at the axis of the mixer/aerator.
4 . A container system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the liquid is wine.
5 . A mixer/aerator, comprising:
a. a cylindrical outer surface,
b. a plurality of axial grooves around the entire periphery of the cylindrical outer surface,
c. an axial bore,
d. an axial divider, that divides the bore into a plurality of axial sub-bores.
6 . A mixer/aerator as recited in claim 5 , wherein the divider comprises an plurality of flat vanes connected to one another at the axis of the mixer/aerator.
7 . A mixer/aerator as recited in claim 5 , wherein the divider comprises an plurality of curves vanes connected to one another at the axis of the mixer/aerator.
8 . A mixer/aerator as recited in claim 5 , wherein the liquid is wine.
9 . A method for mixing and aerating a liquid, comprising the step of:
a. pouring a liquid from a container through the throat of the container, and through a mixer/aerator positioned in the throat of the container,
b. said mixer/aerator, comprising:
i. a cylindrical outer surface,
ii. a plurality of axial grooves around the entire periphery of the cylindrical outer surface,
iii. an axial bore,
iv. an axial divider, that divides the bore into a plurality of axial sub-bores.
10 . A method as recited in claim 9 , wherein the divider comprises an plurality of flat vanes connected to one another at the axis of the mixer/aerator.
11 . A method as recited in claim 9 , wherein the divider comprises an plurality of curves vanes connected to one another at the axis of the mixer/aerator.
12 . A method as recited in claim 9 , wherein the liquid is wine.
