Vinturi Aerator Connoisseur Set

Ever wondered why the last glass of wine out of the bottle always tastes better than the first? No, it’s not because you’re totally wasted, it’s due to the fact that you need to let wine breathe if you want to enjoy it properly. What a schlep! If you’re one of those impatient folk who tries willingly but to no avail to distract yourself from the open bottle in front of you then the Vinturi Wine Aerator is for you.

This remarkably easy gadget allows you to enjoy your wine almost immediately: All you have to do is hold the Aerator over your glass and pour the wine into the top. The wine is then filtered and oxygenated to release all of those lovely aromas and flavours.

The Vinturi Aerator Connoisseur Set includes the Aerator itself and comes with a cool stand that allows you to make a real feature of the whole process. You’ll pop your wine glass underneath the Aerator (now attractively held in place so you don’t have to) and voila – magic! The set also comes with a sediment filter, a table stand for you to pop the Vinturi in when you're not using it, and a pouch to make sure it doesn't get clogged up with dust while it waits patiently in a drawer for your next wine night.

It is dishwasher safe and retails at R795.

Grilliput Mobile Braai

What’s the defining characteristic of a South African man? The ability to fire up a braai wherever and whenever he possibly can. Well, thanks to the Grilliput, you might find yourself scratching that itch more often.

The Grilliput is a pocket-sized powerhouse of a braai that you can take with you wherever you go. Drawing inspiration for its name from Lilliput, the island of small people from Gulliver’s Travels, this ridiculously compact camping grill is a clever piece of design. At only 29cm long and 2.2cm wide, you can stash it anywhere, so when you’re feeling the urge to chop ‘n dop, simply open it up into a 23x26cm braai. The grill can handle a whopping 560g of food placed upon it; it’s quick and easy to assemble and is made from tough stainless steel, so is super easy to clean. It even has a cleaning groove notched into it so you can scrape off the grill before you pack it up in its tiny solid tube.

The Firebowl is a great companion to the Grilliput. A mobile, compact and collapsible hearth with 4 stilted feet, it enables you to light a fire anywhere without the worry of scorching the earth. The adjustable fins also allow you to create a chimney so that heat can be directly aimed at the desired point. The Grilliput and Firebowl are innovative space miracles for minimalists, and quite simply the best mobile braai kit ever to hit the shelves. Get yours now for R520.
