I absolutely love our Vinturi Wine Aerator Set. And, I’ll be honest with you, we bring the red one wherever we go. Yes, really.
While Vinturi offers wine aerator sets for both red and white wine, you can buy only one on it’s own. The one we took a look at is the Vinturi red wine aerator and white wine aerator set, which can be used to quickly and conveniently aerate wine by the bottle (or get this)….by the glass. Talk about convenience!
With an aerator that is specifically calibrated for red wine, there’s no need to wait for hours during the traditional decanting process. The other night, Anthony pulled out a 2002 Barolo 15 minutes before we were due to sit down for a steak dinner at home and I had to give him the face — “C’mon, you know that gem needs to air for hours before our first sip.”
Both the Red Wine and White Wine aerators feature patented technology and a stylish but classic look. When aerating your wine, you simply listen for the sound, which is unique to all Vinturi aerators and is indicative of its authenticness. They’re made from specially formulated acrylic with an easy to grip silicone body and both aerators come complete with a no-drip stand for properly displaying the device and keeping wine off surfaces when not in use. We recently tested it out on a Cannonball Cab, and Zins by Portalupi and Angels and Cowboys — oh so delish! Yes, you really can tell the difference!
The Red Wine aerator includes a filter screen that protects your wine from bits of cork and sediment which is great — how many times have you gotten unwanted sediment in your glass?
You simply place a glass under the Vinturi aerator and pour your wine through the opening, which as mentioned above, can be done into your glass or a carafe. When wine is poured into the Vinturi, its internal patented design creates an increase in the wine’s velocity while simultaneously decreasing its pressure. This difference in pressure draws in the proper amount of air, which mixes with the wine for the right amount of time, and delivers a better bouquet, enhanced flavors and a smoother finish.
As wine breathes, it opens up and releases its intended aromas and flavors. We loved this simple but effective product and thought it was a perfect choice for a holiday gift when you might just be pouring more wine than normal. What a great purchase for yourself or for a family member or friend. The set includes one Vinturi Red Wine Aerator, one Vinturi White Wine Aerator, two No-Drip Aerator Stands and a filter screen and is priced around $50.
