A box includes a top panel, a front panel and side panels. An opening is centered on a lower portion of the front panel. A tap is attached to the opening, the tap including a cylindrical body and a shut-off mechanism. An aerator body is fluidly coupled to the fluid flow opening for providing a fluid flow path through the body such that the liquid can pass downward through the aerator body.

1. An integrated aeration device configured to aerate a liquid in a bottle, the device comprising: an aerator including a body having a wall, an outer port and an inner port, the inner port being inserted into the bottle after filling for providing a fluid flow path through the aerator body such that the liquid can pass downward through the aerator body, the aerator body having a fluid flow path configured to have a plurality of extended gas intake channels aligned in parallel relationship to the aerator body wall and extending lengthwise through the aerator body wall, a fluid-receiving portion configured to be open to and in fluid communication with the atmosphere to receive the liquid as the liquid is dispensed, the fluid-receiving portion defining at least a first cross-sectional area, a reduced-area portion disposed downstream from and in fluid communication with the fluid-receiving portion, the reduced-area portion defining a second cross-sectional area that is smaller than the first cross-sectional area of the fluid-receiving portion, a first air inlet extending between the fluid flow path and a side of the body, fluidly coupling the atmosphere with the fluid flow path, where the aerator body is placed into the bottle neck so that the air inlet is exposed above the bottle neck;an increased-area portion disposed downstream of the reduced-area portion and in fluid communication with the fluid-receiving portion, the increased-area portion defining a third cross-sectional area that is greater than the second cross-sectional area; and a cap attached to cover the top of the aerator body including the air inlet and bottle top. 2. The integrated aeration system of claim 1 further comprising a second air inlet extending between the fluid flow path and a side of the body, fluidly coupling the atmosphere with the fluid flow path. 3. The integrated aeration system of claim 1 wherein the fluid-receiving portion comprises a substantially funnel-shaped volume tapering down from the opening. 4. The integrated aeration system of claim 1 wherein the increased-area portion comprises a substantially funnel-shaped volume that has a larger cross-sectional area at a fluid outlet port. 5. An integrated aeration system configured to aerate a liquid, the system comprising: a generally parallelepiped box including a top, a front panel and a plurality of side panels extending downwardly from said top;a first fluid flow opening in said box;a tap attached to the first fluid flow opening, the tap including a cylindrical body having a cylinder wall, an outer port and an inner port, the inner port being attached to the fluid flow opening, the tap also having a shut-off mechanism;an aerator body, fluidly coupled to the outer port, for providing a second fluid flow path through the aerator body, the second fluid flow path configured to have a fluid-receiving portion configured to be open to and in fluid communication with the atmosphere, the fluid-receiving portion defining at least a first cross-sectional area, a reduced-area portion disposed downstream from and in fluid communication with the fluid-receiving portion, the reduced-area portion defining a second cross-sectional area that is smaller than the first cross-sectional area of the fluid-receiving portion, a first air inlet extending between the second fluid flow path and a side of the aerator body, fluidly coupling the atmosphere with the second fluid flow path, the aerator further including an increased-area portion disposed downstream of the reduced-area portion and in fluid communication with the fluid-receiving portion, the increased-area portion defining a third cross-sectional area that is greater than the second cross-sectional area;wherein the shut-off mechanism comprises a generally cylindrical sleeve sized to snugly fit within the cylindrical body, the cylindrical sleeve having a closed outer cover and an elongated inner wall including a sleeve opening positioned to align with the second fluid flow opening when translationally moved with an applied force so as to allow liquid to flow through the sleeve opening and the second fluid flow opening, the shut-off mechanism further includes a button with a spring wound around the cylindrical body and contained between a first flange extending from the closed outer cover and a second flange located on the cylinder body for returning the mechanism to close the tap when the applied force is removed. 6. The integrated aeration system of claim 5 wherein the increased-area portion is configured and disposed such that air is drawn from the atmosphere through the air inlet into the second fluid flow path as the liquid passes through the fluid flow path. 7. The integrated aeration system of claim 5 wherein the third cross-sectional area is at most 80% greater than the second cross-sectional area. 8. The integrated aeration system of claim 5 further comprising a second air inlet extending between the fluid flow path and a side of the aerator body, fluidly coupling the atmosphere with the second fluid flow path. 9. The integrated aeration system of claim 5 wherein the fluid-receiving portion provides a top aperture for entering liquid and the fluid-receiving portion is tapered such that its cross-sectional area is smaller further away from the top aperture. 10. The integrated aeration system of claim 5 wherein the aerator body comprises a generally cylindrical outer shape.
