The Big O  The Vinturi Wine Aerator has a slick acrylic-and-rubber outfit-and Oprah’s seal of approval. The size of a small remote control, it makes a glug-glug noise as wine is poured through, confirming copious airflow. $49. homewerx.ca, vinturi.com 

The Chameleon  The Barbara by Design House Stockholm is a vase by day, wine carafe by night. The mouth-blown glass design is wide enough to humble even the boldest brunello and the glass ball stopper also acts as eye candy. $77. providehome.com, designhousestockholm.com

The Wizard  The Philip Stein Wine Wand aerates your shiraz in a minute or two (that’s 30 less than usual), thanks to frequencies programmed into the glass-tube-and-crystal wand by AYUS Corporation in Vernon, B.C. $325 (glass size, as shown) to $525 (bottle size). holtrenfrew.com, philipstein.com 

The Hipster  Minimalists will love the humble lines of the float red wine glass by molo design in Vancouver. The properties of the borosilicate glass mean it doubles as a wine or hot beverage glass. Set of 2, $109. informinteriors.com,
molodesign.com; Vancouver Special, 3612 Main St., Vancouver, 604-568-3673 

The Revolutionary  Some wine experts say an Eisch breathable wine glass can loosen up a glass of super-Tuscan in about two minutes. Various sizes, $27 to $30. marquis-wines.com, eisch.de 

The Scientist  The RoJaus Gemini will ignite some Bunsen burner memories. The two-foot-tall stand has a glass globule filled with water to aerate wine and a nozzle at the bottom to dispense it. $360. bellevuewine.com, winedown.net
