Product Description

Letting red wine breathe is essential for optimal taste, softness and character, but it isn't always possible or practical to wait for the wine to breathe for an hour or more. The patented Rouge 02 solves this problem by gently circulating air throughout the wine bottle, achieving in one minute results that can take up to an hour or more for a wine to achieve breathing on its own. Tannins are softened while flavor and bouquet is improved for light, medium and full-bodied reds alike. Hailed by wine experts the world-over, the Rouge 02 has been independently tested time and again for accurate breathing performance on various types and prices of wine. Simple to use right out of the box, insert 2 AAA batteries, insert the stem in the base of the barrel, place the stem into the wine and push the start button. All the guess work is gone-the Rouge 02 automatically shuts off after one minute- an amount of time tested many time over and proven sufficient for all types of red wines. And the Rouge 02 will run on its 2 AAA batteries for approximately 230 bottles. Patented world-wide and in the US; distributed in over 18 countries around the world. The Rouge 02 will have you enjoying your wine the way that it was meant to be enjoyed, and much sooner at that.

An utterly useless product incapable of doing what it says it does. Tube goes only 1/2 of bottle depth and timer shuts off at around 1 minute w/no discernible effect on taste. Amount of bubbling is anemically weak. Repeated 5 times w/same result. Taped a plastic straw to reach the bottom but pump, even w/new batteries, is so weak it will not pump any air below 1/2 bottle depth. Filled wine bottle w/water, added a bit of sawdust, shook to mix, then tried aerator w/new batteries. The sawdust circulated vverrrrry slowly and only in the top half of the bottle. A decent design concept that should work well with a more powerful pump that could really bubble a substantial volume of air to the bottom of a bottle. This one is junk. I've sent it back and am awaiting a refund. Get a decanter aerator and swirl your wine a few times over 10 minutes for a decent, fast airing. I'll keep searching for a more powerful one that really works because, well, I'm lazy and like gadgets.

Product does not work. Pump is so weak that once the air outlet drops below an inch or two of liquid the pump can't overcome the water pressure and ultimately no bubbles (new batteries). So If you were to take a glass of wine out of the bottle so that the orifice is just below the liquid level it bubbles a bit. Can't believe that would be effective. Tried to contact the company via email many times. Absolutely no response
