A wine aerator includes a gas conduit having a proximal end in fluid communication with a distal end, wherein the gas conduit passes through a seal and wherein the distal end is configured to be insertable into an inside of an uncorked wine bottle. A gas source is connectable to the proximal end of the gas conduit and is in fluidic communication with the gas conduit, wherein the gas source comprises an air pump having an adjustable flow rate of at least 0.1 liters per minute up to a maximum of 20 liters per minute. A bubble-generating aeration element is disposed at the distal end of the gas conduit and in fluidic communication with the gas conduit. The bubble-generating aeration element comprises a porous material having an average pore size of at least 1 micron up to a maximum of 500 microns.

The wine aerator of claim 1, wherein the gas source is disposed remote from the seal. 15. The wine aerator of claim 1, wherein the gas source is attached to a portion of the seal or wherein the gas source is attached to a housing that is then attached to the seal. 16. The wine aerator of claim 1, wherein the gas conduit comprises a bent distal end disposing the bubble-generating aeration element perpendicular to the proximal end of the gas conduit. 17. The wine aerator of claim 16, wherein the gas conduit comprises a resilient and flexible material preformed into the bent distal end. 18. The wine aerator of claim 1, wherein the gas conduit passes through the at least one aperture and the gas conduit is not attached to the at least one aperture. 19. The wine aerator of claim 1, including a housing attached to seal wherein the housing extends below the seal to a contoured distal end, wherein the gas conduit is configured to move within the housing and seal thereby extending the bubble-generating aeration element beyond the contoured distal end of the housing. 20.
