Wine Decanter with Vacuum Pump

It just arrived, and its totally sweet. It works well too. From Hammacher-Schlemmer, who apparently only sell the best of everything, comes "The Vacuum Pump Wine Preserver With Gauge And Decanter WAS 79.95 NOW 39.95"
So, for all you n00bs out there, it is best to decant your red wine because the pouring aerates the wine thus releasing all the aromas trapped inside. But too much exposure to air wrecks your wine, so thats why you need the vacuum pump to pump the air out of the decanter when you want to save it for later.
Even without the futuristic air pump, the decanter itself looks like a cool laboratory beaker- so you can pretend to be drinking potion.
