A liquid container includes a cap with a pouring aperture and an airflow aperture. Air flows into the container via the airflow aperture when liquid flows out of the container via the pouring aperture, thus maintaining a balanced pressure inside and outside the liquid container to minimize or prevent the common glugging effect and allow liquid to flow smoothly from the container. In some embodiments, a dosing insert facilitates the dispensing of only a single dose of liquid at a time from the liquid container.
A device is provided that assists with equalizing air pressure within a container with the atmospheric air pressure as liquid is being poured from the container and includes one or more relatively short air tubes. The device is provided with the ability to simultaneously equalize pressure in the container while also providing a drip collection mechanism. The device may be configured for unidirectional pouring or multi-directional pouring.
