I’m confused; is “Gift Week” a quasi-woot off without the progress meter?

i am going to guess that every 12 hours they change the item

It’s back to the “gift week” schedule of a new item every 12 hours, I’m guessing. Happens at 10 and 10 pacific; midnight and noon Texas time.

Ah, I didn’t even notice the time. I bet you’re correct.

Sadly the wine tower has minimal savings vs amazon. :frowning:

Dammit woot I need 2 of each.

And what happens when you use this to pour the wine into a decanter?

Is this the same thing with a different name http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Decanter-Deluxe-Aerator-Accessories/dp/B003NHGF8S/ref=pd_sim_k_7

Why are they trying to confuse the wine wooters with changing the item for sale? We might consider cutting back on the wine.

If you want the Tower and Aerator its cheaper to buy the 6-piece set from Amazon.

Amazon

yeah, i saw the same thing and was disappointed. need the tower after getting the vinturi last year.

I’ve been waiting for one of these for a while now. Missed out last time it was wooted. I’m already in for 2. Maybe next time I’ll get the tower!

Yeah I don’t know what to do with my 36 cents of savings…plus Woot shipping takes 2 weeks when my Amazon prime shipping is 2 days.

I don’t know if it’s just me, or do the two together look like some kind of recognition award presented at a company meeting?

In for one aerator.

What’s the purpose of the tower? Is it just the aerator on a stem?

Makes for hands-free pouring…have both the white and red aerators, so in for 1 tower.

It’s just the aerator on a stem.

I believe it serves as a holder for the aerator.

That is a correct guess.

I was hoping for the Balsamic Vinegar this time though. That is good stuff.

Reviews for 6-piece set (here) diss the stand. Say that it is (1) inconvenient height (too high or too short, depending on glasses used), (2) too ugly to leave out, (3) holds aerator at wrong angle (per aerator instructions), and (4) leads to more leaking.

I’ve got the vinturi, and even my uneducated tastes can discern a difference. Handy for when you don’t have a decanter, when you forgot to decant ahead of time, or when you just don’t want to drink the whole bottle. But not as elegant.
