Decanting is such a pain. Do you really want to wait fifteen minutes to an hour for your tannin-filled red wine to aerate? It's one thing if you have a beautiful decanter, but most of us just want to get the cork out, pour the wine, and start drinking. The SpinWIne Pourer is for people who want to reap the benefits of decanting without waiting: it aerates your wine on its way to the glass.
In fact, this little wine spinner claims to do a lot more than that. Its description claims "SpinWine performs a set of complex actions as the wine circulates around the small open cup chamber and through the double helix into your glass. The improvement in flavor and scent occurs because of the structural changes brought about by the unique process."
Color us skeptical. If you could really make wine better quickly with a twisty plastic funnel, wouldn't the word have gotten out by now? If you do want to try improve the "flavor and scent" of your Two-buck Chuck, the SpinWine Pourer costs $58.

LOL! "unique process." ROFL!
And at first I thought you were insulting Two Buck Chuck!
How come no details about their choice of plastic? Is it Food Grade?
Further, you did not link to the actual maker's website: http://www.spinwine.dk (Spin Water).
Note they have a 16(!) page brochure for it. My favorite line concludes "...more velvety on the tongue and the mouth."

Words are one thing. Trying is another.
We were challenged by the UK distributor to blind test the SpinWine at the Birmingham fair earlier this year.
Trust me, this product is amazing. The sales guy was talking about how the SpinWine re-structured the wine as it was spun out of the bottle. But it was definately the blind test that made us decide to stock it.
Since we took it into our product range I've had the opportunity to test it on my friends and family with great success, and I wouldn't serve a bottle of wine again without the spinner.
For those of you who wish to try it out, we currently have a summer sale where we sell the SpinWine for £27.50
