The Bottom Line

The Vinturi offers a very quick and easy method of aerating your red wines, cutting down the time it would take to use a decanter and even opening up younger wines that have not had the cellaring time to mellow out a bit. Give it a "taste test" try a blind tasting with a glass poured using the Vinturi and a glass poured without the Vinturi - you are certain to notice the difference! The Vinturi is a must have wine gadget that every red wine lover is sure to love.

Guide Review - Vinturi Wine Aerator

The Vinturi comes in pretty packaging and includes a classy little stand. To use the Vinturi all that's required is pouring the wine through the gadget into the glass and wah-lah... you have yourself a fresh aerated wine that is ready to play immediately. No wait, no mess, just a quick pour and you are in business. The result is a wine that has fuller aroma, a deeper, richer flavor profile and softer more malleable tannins ending in a smoother finish and a better wine experience overall.

Great little aerator, Member burgeltz1

This thing really works. Try a wine that's been aerated and one that hasn't and see the difference for yourself. A great gift for sure.
