Beverage glass with internal decanting, filtering, mixing and aerating cell

A stemmed wine glass for decanting and/or aerating wine comprising:

• a bowl supported by a stem and a base, the bowl having a bottom and an upper opening and
• an aerating cell within the bowl having an upwardly facing hollow portion above the bottom of the bowl, the aerating cell being located a distance above a bottom of the bowl sufficient to permit a desired volume of wine to flow therethrough and fall by gravity into the bottom of the bowl,
• the cell being adapted to decant and/or aerate a beverage that is poured through the bowl upper opening and onto the cell and subsequently flowed through the hollow portion and falls by gravity into the bottom of the bowl.

A stemmed wine container for decanting and/or aerating wine comprising:

• a bowl supported by a stem and a base, the bowl having a bottom and an upper opening and
• an aerating cell within the bowl having an upwardly facing hollow portion above the bottom of the bowl, the hollow portion having a plurality of openings around the periphery of the cell, the cell having a free upper opening below and spaced inwardly from the bowl upper opening and having a width less than half that of the bowl upper opening, the aerating cell being supported on at least one leg non-removably attached to the bowl and extending above a bottom of the bowl a distance sufficient to permit a desired volume of wine to flow therethrough and fall by gravity into the bottom of the bowl,
• the cell being adapted to decant and/or aerate a beverage that is poured through the bowl upper opening and onto the cell and subsequently flowed through the hollow portion and falls by gravity into the bottom of the bowl.

A wine-drinking container for decanting and/or aerating wine comprising:

• a bowl with a bottom and an upper opening and
• an aerating cell within the bowl having an upwardly facing hollow portion above the bottom of the bowl, the hollow portion having a plurality of openings therein, the cell having a free upper opening that is below and spaced inwardly from the bowl upper opening, the cell being supported on a plurality of legs extending above a bottom of the bowl, the aerating cell being located a distance above a bottom of the bowl sufficient to permit a desired volume of wine to flow therethrough and fall by gravity into the bottom of the bowl;
• wherein, while the bowl and cell are initially empty, the wine may be poured downwardly from above the bowl upper opening directly into the aerating cell and permitted to flow through the openings in upwardly facing hollow portion and fall by gravity into the bottom of the bowl to decant and/or aerate the wine.
