Borgonovo Safe Cup Aerating Wine Glass, 18 Ounce - Set of 2

The wine glass is produced in Italy with patented optic ridges on the inside of each glass that "agitate" the wine when the glass is rotated in a counter-clockwise direction, eliminating the need to decant the wine or wait for it to breathe, according to the company. The results are backed by scientific tests performed at the University of Rome in Italy, Global Amici said. Scientific Test Results Show The Following Benefits: • Enhancement of Flavor and Aromas • Up To 30% Decrease of Alcohol Absorption • Decrease of Sensorial Alcohol Influence During the Fermentation process there is a buildup of Carbon Dioxide in all wines. Carbon Dioxide causes an acceleration of alcohol absorption into the Blood Stream. As the stomach swells, alcohol is pushed into the blood vessels and then conveyed to the liver (see picture 2). Removal of Carbon Dioxide and oxygenating the wine causes alcohol to stay inside the stomach walls longer, which allows the digestive system more time process and break down the alcohol. While in stomach, gastric acids attack the alcohol in the wine, lowering the amount of ethanol that can penetrate into the blood stream. Using our Aerator Goblet, tests have proven that the difference of alcohol absorption in the human body is up to 30% lower than using a regular wine glass (see picture 3). Results may vary depending on each individual. With such a difference in the absorption of alcohol, multiple advantages are achieved.
