New! The wine whisk!

This seems so stupid that I'm not even going to put a clickable link ... why give them any Google hits?

<b>Wine Whisks</b>:
A whole new way to let wine "breathe"? These miniature whisks breathe the life into your vino in seconds – allowing you to enjoy a glass of red or white right away. Small and portable, the whisks will come in handy when opening a new bottle of wine anywhere!

Um. I have no response to this.

Have you tried it?? NO...I bet. You should keep an open mind until you have!!
And, unless my eyes decieve me, there's a powerful neodynium magnet imbedded in the handle.
I, for one, am buying...a $hitload (Kansas colloquialism for "a bunch")..for all my friends.

It doubles as a wine stopper, so it's really "only" 10 bucks for the stirrer. Hmmm ....

I use my regular whisk and pour all my wine into a bowl...

It's especially good, I heard, for those super-gobby Napa blueberry milkshake 'wines'!

Next: Chai Latte Wine.

Do you have a set of Riedel Bowls in all the special shapes, Tom?

I've got a Riedel bowl for each varietal and for each wheat flour, plus a separate Riedel whisk shaped specifically for the contour of each bowl (which is different for each varietal and for each wheat flour).

My kitchen cupboards measure twelve feet square and you need a pair of skates to navigate from one end to the other--skates with glass wheels, Riedel of course, with separately shaped wheels to match each indentation of my flooring, which is old wood that has been shaped by years of fat Americans eating pig meat from pewter plates and drinking wine out of heavy plaster mugs...the cretins!

Robin (et al),
This is just of a piece with all those gadgets and gizmos marketed by the folks at IWA and Wine Enthusiast. They remind me of the marketing to golfers: doodads and "accessories" for people with more money than common sense. PT Barnum's apocryphal bon mot says it all IMO.

In the immortal words of Ralph Kramden, "it can also core a apple!"

I hear they're bringing out one in PVC which removes TCA during stirring and one in copper for reductive wines, too.

I note that the wine in the photograph resembled Welch's Grape Juice (TM) more than real wine that one would want to put into your mouth and drink.

So is this a defusing device for Parker fruit bombs? Maybe it does have a purpose, after all.

(Should we classify Robert Parker and his over-oaked fruit bombs, with which he wants to whomp us over the head with gobs and oodles of fruit and tannins, as a "wine terroirist"? Probably a good thing the Bush Administration isn't aware of these leanings. Otherwise they'd kidnap him next time he's in Europe, and send him for torture to Afghanistan. Hey--maybe we SHOULD bring this to their attention. ).

Maybe they sell a special whisk for snake oil!

Can you imagine how elegant that whisk will look sticking out of the top of that half-finished bottle of Petrus when you use it as a stopper?

I'll keep it right next to my Onion Goggles.

I hear it also serves as a sex toy, requiring two AA batteries.....
