This ‘RainMan’ decanter by [Matilda Sund](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tainted-love-beer)én Ringnér provides a curious way to aerate your wine. Its spout is perforated just like the garden-variety [tin watering cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raindrop-1) sold at home and garden stores.

Ringnér designed the ‘RainMan’ decanter as a playful alternative to wine’s traditional journey from bottle to glass. Typical carafes let wine flow in a solid, fluid stream; the ‘RainMan’ decanter, however, breaks this mold entirely.

As a drinker, I’d be curious to see how the wine’s flavor is affected when it’s aerated in this fashion. Would wine open up more quickly with the 'RainMan' decanter, or would it become stale?
