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 (25)

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

wherein the length of the body 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 includes at least one interruption disposed along the length of the bore.

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

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

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

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the container is a wine bottle.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the bore includes a reduced diameter section along a length of the bore.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the bore includes at least one interruption disposed along the length of the bore.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the body of the aerator defines the plurality of grooves and the plurality of grooves extend non-linearly from the first end of the body to the second end of the body.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the bore includes a taper.

13. The system of claim 7 , wherein the aerator is disposed at least partially within the neck of the container via an interference fit.

14. 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 a plurality of grooves around the bore, wherein the plurality of grooves extend non-linearly from the first end of the body to the second end of the body,

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

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the container is a wine bottle.

16. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the bore includes a reduced diameter section along a length of the bore.

17. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the bore helically extends through the body.

18. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the bore includes at least one interruption disposed along the length of the bore.

19. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the bore includes a taper.
