SPECIAL REVIEW Ritchie said: “The vSpin gives you complete control over the time and speed that you want to aerate your wine; it allows you to customise the aeration process to suit your taste.” Beautiful to behold, it will look great on any dining table, be it at home or in a fine dining restaurant. Michel Jacob of Le Crocodile Restaurant, Vancouver BC, Canada, was quoted as saying: “vSpin Aeration will be a WOW factor for dining guests.” More important, according to renowned wine critic Anthony Gismondi, is that “within two to four minutes you have a wine that tastes as if it has been opened for hours or aged for years”. Made in Germany by Spiegelau, the vSpin is not only elegant but with precision state-of-art functionality it also creates a silent, gentle vortex which oxygenates wine to release its true flavours. Watch vSpin at work at www. vspin.us. Seen hugging an ALL- AMERICAN pressure canner/cooker was Benjamin M Jacobs, senior VP, WAF (Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry), USA. He was very proud and protective of his Made-in-America canner/cooker as it features an exclusive, precision machined “metal-to-metal” sealing system; its clamping locks align the cover to the base, forming a steam- tight seal. “As the seal does not use a gasket, the cover can be easily opened and closed,” said Jacobs, adding that the ALL-AMERICAN pressure canner/ cooker makes it easy to can fish, meat, vegetables and fruits. He said: “It’s the only method the USDA recommends for canning low- acid foods.” All six models for the home feature a precision machined regulator weight for accurate pressure control and each comes with an easy-to-read Instruction & Recipe Book.

The next opportunity to check out more advanced and innovative products in Chicago will be from March 2-5 next year when the International Home + Housewares Show returns to McCormick Place. ra “The vSpin gives you complete control over the time and speed that you want to aerate your wine; it allows you to customise the aeration process to suit your taste.” — Gordon Ritchie, VP Global Sales, vSpin “As the seal does not use a gasket, the cover can be easily opened and closed ...
