After approximately three hours in the freezer, the Winesceptre is ready for use: Pour a small amount of wine into a glass to create space; remove the Winesceptre from the stainless tube and, with a slight pressure, insert it into the top of a pre-chilled bottle of wine. The o-rings hold the Winesceptre securely in the bottle. Pour your wine through the top of the Winesceptre and enjoy.
