- the average consumer is generally limited to knowing that opening a bottle and exposing the wine to the air affects its nose (ie its scent). , her dress (that is to say, her color) and her taste. Few consumers know for which wine and when to use a carafe, how long does it take to separate the opening of the bottle from the service to the tasting service, or what type of glass is most appropriate for service.
- pouring devices intended to ensure forced oxidation of the wine by air intake.
- This machine has several defects:

- a wine aeration device which comprises a housing intended to be mounted on the neck of a bottle, and mounted in this housing, a diaphragm pump connected to an injector that plunges into wine to bring oxygen pumped.
- This device also has several flaws:
- the introduction of the injector into the wine poses hygiene problems, insofar as the injector exceeds housing and may be exposed, between two uses, to a bacteriological environment;
- the provision of electricity by the sector obliges the user to dispose of (and keep close to) an electrical outlet; fourthly, the consumer igores the oxygenation time of the. even when prolonged oxygenation can cause partial or total loss of flavor.

- motor 26 When motor 26 is supplied with current, its output shaft is rotated.
- the shaft 35 drives the inclined axis 36 in a rotary sweep motion of a cone, which causes the plateau 33 in an oscillating movement and each piston 31 in a translational movement back and forth. This results in alternating compression and expansion cycles of each air chamber.
- the expansion (corresponding to the state of the left air chamber 30 in FIG. 3) causes the valve 32 of the lid 28 to move apart and the air to be drawn into the chamber 30 through the bores forming the air inlet 23.
- the air flow at the outlet thereof is proportional to the speed of rotation of the motor 26, itself proportional to the electric power that is delivered to it (here the losses by Joule effect).

- FIG. 3 schematically illustrates a possible architecture of the electronic circuit.
- the generator 41 comprises a battery 43, and a variable impedance 44 (such as a resistor), driven by the processor 42, mounted between the terminals of the battery 43 to vary the electrical voltage (and therefore the delivered power).
- the terminals of the battery 43 are connected to the motor 26 to supply it with electrical power.
- the electronic control circuit 40 further comprises a wireless communication interface 45, connected to the processor 42.
- This wireless communication interface 45 is designed to enable the processor 42 to communicate with the device 10 communicating to receive the oxygenation instruction, or directly with the data base 9 to receive the information from the data base. oxygenation and any other information associated with the identified wine.
- the communication interface 45 is advantageously programmed to use a short-distance and high-frequency communication protocol (eg of the Bluetooth type).
- the communication interface 45 can be programmed to use a mobile telephone protocol. (GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, LTE) or wireless (eg ⁇ 802.11, more commonly referred to as WiFi).
- a first step is to take a picture, either with the communicating apparatus 10, or directly with the pouring device 3 if it is equipped with a camera, the label 8 or a code (eg barcode or QR code) present on it.
- a code eg barcode or QR code
- a second step is to interrogate, via the network 11, the database 9 to identify the entry (and therefore the wine) corresponding to the tag 8 and photographed the code and scanned.
- a third step consists in extracting from the data base 9: at least the oxygenation instruction memorized in this entry, and corresponding to the wine 4 present in the bottle 2;
- a fourth step consists in transmitting at least the oxygenation setpoint to the processor 42, either directly via the network 11 and the communication interface 45, or via the communicating device 10 which provides the relay.
- the additional information it receives is advantageously displayed on a screen which the pouring device 3 is provided for this purpose.
- a fifth step consists, for the processor 42, upon receipt of the oxygenation set point, to adjust the power delivered by the generator 41 to a corresponding value (including proportional) to this setpoint.
- the processor 42 adjusts the impedance 44 to a value making it possible to obtain at the output of the generator 41 the desired electrical power.
- a sixth step consists in starting the pump 20 by putting the motor 26 under tension, typically by closing a switch 46 controlled by the processor 42.
- the rotation of the motor 26 causes the start of the compressor 22, which provides an air injection (materialized by the bubbles 47 in FIG.3) in the conduit 17 pouring at a rate corresponding to the record oxygenation.
- the oxygen of the air thus injected into the wine 4 being poured ensures instantaneous oxidation, in situ, progressive and controlled (thanks to the control of the flow), phenolic compounds of wine 3, which makes it possible to improve the organoleptic properties during the tasting.
- the start of the pump 20 may be subordinated to the presence of wine 4 in the conduit 17 pouring.
- the tubing 16 may be provided with a presence sensor (for example of an optical, resistive or capacitive nature) connected to the processor 42, which is then programmed to start the pump 20 only when the sensor returns a signal characteristic of the presence of wine 4 in the conduit 17 pouring.
- a presence sensor for example of an optical, resistive or capacitive nature
- the start of the pump 20 may be subordinated to the inclination of the bottle 2, that is to say the very action of the pouring.
- the pouring device 3 can be equipped with a gyroscope connected to the processor 42 and able to detect an inclination of the housing 12 (and therefore of the bottle 2), the processor 42 being programmed to put the pump 20 into position. only when the gyroscope returns an angle greater than a predetermined threshold value.
- the pouring device 3 is provided with a vent 48 intended to ensure that the inside of the receptacle 2 is put under atmospheric pressure during pouring to facilitate the latter.
- this vent 48 is in the form of a duct which circulates in the wall of the tubing 16 and opens, on the one hand, to the lower end thereof (on the side of the bottle 2) and, on the other hand, in the vicinity of its upper end (eg radially).
- the pouring device 3 which has just been described comprises only a pump 20 and a single injector 37.
- several pumps 20 and / or several injectors 37 could be provided.
- the ovoid shape of the housing 12 is given as an example.
- the drawings being schematic, the size of the housing 12 has been deliberately exaggerated to improve the readability of the drawings; it will be advantageous to minimize this size, which can be done without difficulty because of the miniaturization of the components (in particular the pump 20 and the electronic control circuit 40).
- the injection of air at the heart of the conduit 17 pouring allows controlled aeration of the wine 4, which improves its organoleptic qualities during tasting.
- the adaptation of the amount of oxygen to the wine 4 identified by taking into account an oxygenation setpoint stored on the data base 9 makes it possible to taste each wine to the best of its qualities.
- the tasting can be carried out in a simple and natural way: the wine 4 is simply poured from the bottle 2 in a glass.
- the compactness of the pouring device 3 facilitates its transportation, and makes it particularly suitable for use in catering, typically by restaurant sommeliers.
