Aveine: Redefining the Wine Tasting Experience

A Connected Wine Aerator for the Modern Wine Enthusiast

When it comes to wine, people often feel intimidated and believe that a certain level of knowledge is required to truly appreciate it. However, for Aveine, wine is all about sharing and epicureanism. Aveine is a symbol of the French way of life, with its insouciance and cultural codes. The design of the Aveine connected wine aerator perfectly embodies this vision, combining tradition and modernity. Aveine aims to empower people to enjoy their wine at its best.

Aveine has developed a connected wine aerator that revolutionizes the aeration process. With a simple scan of the wine label through the Aveine app, the device's algorithm deduces the ideal wine tasting conditions and pairs with the aerator to automatically adjust the precise level of aeration for the selected bottle. The result is an aeration equivalent to 1 minute up to 24 hours, achieved instantly. All that's left to do is pour the wine through the aerator, and you'll have a perfectly served glass of wine.

The Aveine wine aerator is a testament to innovative technology. The device houses a patented technology that recreates the aeration process in an instant. The back side of the aerator is made of aluminum, while the front is made of polycarbonate and features a tactile screen. The conduit through which the wine flows is compatible with long-term wine contact. The electronic components used in the aerator, such as the LiPo battery, microcontroller, and Bluetooth module, are commonly found in connected objects.

With dimensions of 50mm in width, 55mm in depth, and 150mm in height, the Aveine wine aerator is compact and easy to use. Its watertight design ensures durability, and it is made from food-grade materials, guaranteeing safety. The rounded shape of the aerator offers a natural grip during installation and removal on the wine bottle, while its aesthetics are both sober and efficient, with high-quality materials that evoke the elegance of a wine glass or carafe.

Aveine's mission is to simplify the wine tasting process and make it accessible to all. The aerator is incredibly user-friendly: open your bottle, place the product on top, scan the label, and pour the wine. Aeration is a crucial step in wine tasting, as it brings out the flavors and aromas of the wine, giving it life. Aveine's connected wine aerator effortlessly achieves this, ensuring that your wine is served in the perfect aeration condition, ready to be savored.

The Aveine project began in March 2016 in Paris, with a group of individuals meeting in a bar and pondering why wine is perceived as complicated. Three months later, Aveine was founded by a team of ten people. After six prototypes and over 5000 hours of research and development, the final prototypes were completed. In September 2018, the Aveine connected wine aerator became accessible worldwide.

The Aveine wine aerator faced its fair share of challenges, particularly in gaining the approval of wine lovers, especially in a conservative country like France. The objective was to demonstrate the impact of the product on the wine tasting experience. The design had to align with this idea, ensuring ease of use and seamless integration into the consumer's environment, without detracting from the pleasure of sharing a bottle with friends. Above all, it was crucial that the product did not appear to denature the wine tasting process.

Aveine's connected wine aerator has garnered recognition for its innovative design. In 2018, it was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Mobile Technologies, Applications, and Software Design category. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Aveine wine aerator is respected for integrating industry best practices and competent technical characteristics, providing fulfillment and positive feelings, and contributing to a better world.

To elevate your wine tasting experience, Aveine has created a connected wine aerator that makes the aeration process easier and more enjoyable. With its cutting-edge technology and user-friendly design, Aveine ensures that every glass of wine is served in the perfect aeration condition, allowing you to fully savor the flavors and aromas of your favorite wines.
