This really works. We tried it on a "Big" cab that we didn't have time to let breathe. We tasted the wine before the Soiree and after. What a difference.

This is from the site: The Soiree is a wine accessory that fits into any standard corked wine bottle, and comes with an extra gasket that will work with any screw cap bottle; allowing you to pour, without dripping, directly through the Soiree. Once you place the Soiree in the wine bottle, the Soiree aerates your wine as you pour it. The Soiree allows you to decant just the portion of wine you want - a glass or a carafe.

By pouring wine with a Soiree, the Soiree creates an intermediary stage where the wine is infused with oxygen and then cascades into your glass. In using the Soiree to aerate your wine, you will notice the subtleties and character of the wine emerge immediately upon entering your glass. Soiree delivers a truly open wine just by pouring through it!

The Soiree can also be used to pour the wine into a decanter, further expediting the "opening" of your wine. The Soiree has dimples in the glass increasing the surface area of the glass which not only agitate the wine, but infuse more oxygen in the wine. (via Foodies Emporium)

This is a beautiful quality product and a perfect gift for someone who enjoys wine. It provides aeration of the wine, which makes even a moderately priced bottle of wine taste better. (via Dancing Spoon)
