Description |
| Red wine needs to breathe to agree to it to open up, open its designed aromas, and of course, do it taste better. Vinturi's patent pending design speeds up this process by instantly aerating together with ease and convenience. White wine needs to breathe too. It is a longstanding myth this white wine does not want aeration. The truth is this white wine displays the same innovations together with aeration as red wine. Vinturi white is the much efficient way to aerate white wine. Taste your wine the way the winemaker designed. Vinturi for white wine is specially intended to aerate white wine exclusively. Together Vinturi red and white aerators bring recognizable innovations immediately: better bouquet, increased flavors and smoother finish. Ideal aeration in the time it takes to pour a glass. It couldn't be easier. Vinturi aerators come together with a no-drip stand and a journey pouch. Made of acrylic. Aerator and stand are dishwasher safe. Journey pouch is machine washable. The glossy, clear acrylic is elegant and clean. But do note this there are two slight fold lines this expand upward from every air hole. These are normal. During manufacturing, material folds all-around rods and wraps back, and this causes the fold lines. Set of 2. |

 Works -- but a hassle to use 2010-03-16 |
| By Ranger (San Diego, CA) |
These aerators work well, enhancing the taste of the wine, but they are a surprising hassle to use. If you don't rinse them right after pouring, and put them back in their holder stands, then mold grows in the holder stands -- gross and ugly, especially the white.
So now every time I pour wine I immediately walk to the sink (catching the drips from the aerator in my hand) rinse it and my hands, and dry it (so it doesn't get covered with ugly water spots...) before setting it back in it's holder. Just leaving them sitting on the counter 'till pouring the next glass isn't a good option; their football like shape makes them tend to roll around and roll right off the counter. Overall: works, but a lot more hassle to use than I expected. |
 One of the best investment I ever made 2010-03-14 |
| By Marc G. Charland (Reno, NV USA) |
| The Vinturi wine aerator really works. I test every bottle of wine I now open: Without aeration and with (Vinturi). Hard to believe what such a simple tool can add to the taste and texture of your favorite drink. At Amazon's price, which really is equivalent to one good bottle of wine, you will appreciate the returns on this investment with every sip. I now know what I will buy my family and friends this Christmas. |
| As advertised...good value 2010-03-13 |
| By Dennis P. (Georgia, USA) |
Fast delivery, well packaged and well priced.
Most importantly, aerated wine does in fact taste better after passing through these attractively designed and sturdy aerators.

| All the rage in Solvang 2010-03-04 |
| By A. Doss (Los Angeles) |
I am in no way a wine snob. But, the GF loves to consume wine. I may have a glass a week, she's closer to one a night. So, the idea of decanting a whole bottle to allow it to breathe before serving makes sense, but you kinda have to drink the whole bottle that night. When you're entertaining, no problem. But, if you just want to pour a glass for yourself, it's really hard to commit to decanting a whole bottle.
So, I bought the kit (with the electronic wine opener, which is great fun). Now, it is a two handed operation. You have to hold the aerator in one hand, bottle in the other, glass on the table. If you don't pour fast enough, the air doesn't get sucked in through the side holes. If you pour too fast, you run the risk of overflowing. But, to be honest, it's pretty simple and you get the hang of how fast to pour and you can hear the sucking sound (which sounds odd, but it's a clear sign of air being infused with the wine). So, that's as tricky as it gets. Oh, and with whatever hand you're holding the aerator make sure you fingers don't cover the holes on the side, where the air gets sucked in. That's it...those are all the tips you need.
The red wine aerator has a screen for particles. The white wine one doesn't. The kit comes with a cute travel bag, etc. and the stands are easy/convenient.
But, now the subjective part. Does it affect taste? Of course it does. I did a lot of blind comparisons with friends and with the GF. Which is also a good excuse to have people over to drink. And I've served aerated and non-aerated, the same bottle, and people think it's two different wines, every time. Most prefer the aerated version of the same wine. It can make a $7 bottle wine that much smoother. Does it make it a $200 bottle of wine? Heck if I know, I don't buy $200 bottles of wine. The most expensive I get is $30, tops.
Like any good wino, I have my favorite types of wine at all price points. So, it makes the wines I like, taste better, for sure. It can make a good wine a little bit better. Similar to how a great wine benefits from being decanted. So, it is a palpable difference, usually for the better. And, without the commitment of an entire bottle. I can aerate one glass at a time and feel no pressure to finish the bottle that night.
In short, I was pleasantly surprised. It's a simple thing and it does "force" a wine to breathe for immediate, glass by glass, consumption. |
