Magnetic stirring system for wine aeration and method of using same

An integrated magnetic stirring assembly for wine aeration comprising:

• a. a multi-purpose stirring, storage and serving vessel having an upper neck portion that includes an open spout in communication with a hollow interior, an intermediate body portion, and a lower base portion characterized by a relatively flat or planar stable bottom surface;
• and
• b. a removable magnetic stirring impeller retained within said hollow interior, at or near said bottom surface, characterized by:
• i. an annular support section,
• ii. a plurality of transversely-extending blades radiating out from said support section, and
• iii. two opposed, laterally spaced magnet components that together define a first vertical summed magnetic field vector, wherein said magnet components are symmetrically arranged about said annular support section and fabricated of magnetic, paramagnetic or ferromagnetic material;
• wherein said stirring impeller is introduced into the hollow interior via said open spout and subsequently centered about the bottom surface of said vessel such that said plurality of transversely-extending blades can freely spin within said lower base portion section without contacting any surface of said vessel.
