Peugeot - accessories for true wine lovers.
A bottle of wine is an art in itself and should be treated as such. One way to pay tribute to the many hours of work and talent that go into a bottle of wine is to honor it with some essential accessories. Discover a wide range of wine accessories, from essentials like corkscrews and tasting glasses to more specialized gadgets like vacuum pumps and Clef du Vin that will make you look and sound like a true wine lover.
Although most of us are familiar with basic accessories like corkscrews and wine glasses, there are many other oenological tools waiting to be discovered! Let's take a look at them.
Decant!
Have you ever seen someone decant a full bottle of wine right after opening it? The culinary arts demand elegance and there is nothing more sophisticated than serving wine in a carafe instead of a bottle. Peugeot hand-blown carafes combine originality with tradition, preserving and revealing the aroma of the wine with a touch of modernity and elegance. The carafe is therefore an essential accessory for wine lovers and connoisseurs.
Aeration with glasses is equally important. The Peugeot Taster glass from the Les Impitoyables collection has been designed to reveal all the aromas while offering an elegant and stylish way to hold it. It reveals the personality of the wine: its color, aroma, balance, etc. The Taster glass is handmade, blown. It has two indentations on the bottom and on the side that perform a dual function - allowing you to hold the glass between two fingers without heating the contents, while also ensuring the aeration of the wine, which begins to break down its molecules. By gently swirling the wine in the glass, you will reveal the most surprising aromas that would otherwise remain hidden.
Technologically innovative!
Experts agree: if oxygen allows wine to open up and develop its bouquet, it can also damage it if it is exposed to air for too long. The very simple use of the Peugeot vacuum pump will allow you to limit the contact of wine with air. Simply insert the stopper into the neck of the bottle, place the vacuum pump on the valve and pump. When you feel resistance, it means that all the air has been removed from the bottle. Depending on the type of wine, you can safely store the wine for another 2 to 8 days.
The result of ten years of research is the patented Peugeot Clef du Vin tool. The Clef du Vin wine key is a measuring device that can tell you the aging potential of any type of wine. Once the Clef du Vin is immersed in a glass of wine, each second of contact corresponds to one year of aging. If the wine tastes the same after a few seconds or its flavor improves, it will be able to age properly. However, if the wine starts to lose its properties after one or two seconds, it should not be kept. An ingenious and innovative tool that will save you time and money! The Clef du Vin can also be used daily with regular wines to help balance the tannins and reveal the aromas. Become the king of the party and amaze your guests with the Clef du Vin. It is not a magic wand, but it is definitely a big favorite of wine lovers!
