The Ice Bag NZD $14.95
First there was the ice bucket, now there is the "Ice Bag". It would have taken ten departments and twelve floors of marketing people months to come up with the name, but the popularity of these in restaurants has skyrocketed due to its small size and ease of use. Now you can use it at home.
Just add a combination of ice and water and your favourite beverage is chilled in just 20 minutes. Use it for wine or beer. Great for the beach or sitting outside with friends on a hot summery day. Bottle displayed not included but FREE when you buy any 6 bottles of Champagne Cattier. -

Vinturi White Wine Aerator NZD $79.95 Out of Stock
Turn a $15 wine into a $25 wine
I know I keep harping on about this device, but it is amazing how it works. I've got the red and white Vinturi on trial every Saturday for you to test out. The 'before and after' taste test will amaze you. It can make a $15 dollar bottle of wine taste like a $25 bottle so it's got to be a great investment for you. These are selling incredibly fast.
It's a longstanding myth that white wine does not need aeration. The truth is that white wine displays the same improvements with aeration as red wine. Vinturi for White Wine has different internal dimensions and flow rates. The result is perfect aeration specifically for white wine.
Building on the winning design of the Vinturi Red Wine Aerator, engineers have modified the reservoir and air ducts to accommodate white wine's unique composition. The Vinturi White Wine Aerator provides a more vigorous aeration flow than its red wine counterpart, mixing just the right amount of air with your whites to enhance their character. Opens up young, full-bodied whites especially well. Comes with a no-drip base and a travel pouch. Aerator and base are dishwasher safe. Travel pouch is machine washable. -

Great gift for wine lovers
I know I keep harping on about this device, but it is amazing how it works. I've got the red and white Vinturi on trial every Saturday for you to test out.

Wine which has been allowed to breathe tastes better. As wine breathes, it opens up, and releases its intended aromas and flavours. Traditionally, decanters were used to aerate wine. For some, decanting is time consuming, cumbersome, and inconvenient. The Vinturi speeds up this process with ease and convenience - you can just pop it in your pocket if you're going out for the evening. Perfect aeration in the time it takes to pour a glass. Especially good for European and NZ Bordeaux style reds and young wines.
Simply hold Vinturi over a glass and pour the wine through. Vinturi draws in and mixes the proper amount of air for the right amount of time, allowing your wine to breathe instantly. You'll notice a better bouquet, enhanced flavours and smoother finish. It's that fast. It's that easy. Comes with a no-drip stand and sediment filter. A must for all. -
Champagne Flutes 6pk NZD $89.70
If you are ever visiting Champagne, France, you will notice most of the Champagne Houses use this style of glass.
Champagne or sparkling wines are best suited for this style of glass and should be filled to the waist which encourages the oxygenation due to the large surface area. The aromas are perfectly concentrated as a result of the tapered top while the base has been carefully etched to release fine bubbles. To appreciate the full flavour, this distinctive shape of glass allows the wine to be guided to the centre of the tongue.
The final result is the aromas and flavours of the wine are enhanced so it can be enjoyed at its best. A very good investment, especially for lovers of fine Champagne.
The flutes available are the Chef & Sommelier Open Up Effervescent Flute and work out to $14.95ea -
