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 (22)

1 . An apparatus, comprising:

a body having a length extending from a first end to a second end, the body defining a bore extending through the entirety of the body, the body defining at least one of a plurality of grooves or holes around the bore,

wherein the body has a length that is dimensioned to be received entirely within a neck of a container.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the container is a wine bottle.

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

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the bore helically extends through the body.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the bore includes at least one interruption disposed along a length of the bore.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the body defines a plurality of grooves that extend non-linearly from the first end of the body to the second end of the body.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the body defines a plurality of holes that extend from the first end of the body to the second end of the body parallel to the bore, each of the plurality of holes having a diameter that is less than a diameter of the bore.

8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the bore includes a taper.

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 bore extending through the entirety of the body, the body defining at least one of a plurality of grooves or holes around the bore.

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

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

12 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the bore helically extends through the body.

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

14 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the body of the aerator defines a plurality of grooves that extend non-linearly from the first end of the body to the second end of the body.

15 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the body of the aerator defines a plurality of holes that extend from the first end of the body to the second end of the body parallel to the bore, each of the plurality of holes having a diameter that is less than a diameter of the bore.

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

17 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the aerator is disposed at least partially within the neck of the container via an interference fit.

18 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the aerator is disposed at least partially within the neck of the container via a friction fit.
