Vinturi Wine Aerator, Red Wine, Black

Product Information

This particular method of aeration is perfect for younger reds, in particular, which may or may not be a limiting factor to consider depending on your drinking preferences. So, it's worth noting that if you’re planning on drinking any unfiltered wines or older wines that might have some sediment, you’ll want to consider a decanter set, a dispenser-style aerator, or another option with a filter feature. Also, this aerator should be hand washed. How it works: It's simple! Place a glass under the Vinturi and pour your wine through the opening. 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 - the absolute perfect aeration. It’s that easy.

We found this model very easy to use and appreciated the one-touch functionality. After using, there was a definite change in taste and we preferred the aerated glass, noting that it had a smoother overall taste and the aftertaste mellowed out enough to lose its bitter edge.How often even when tasting an expensive bottle on red wine (not to mention the cheaper ones) did you feel rather harsh and bitter taste hitting your palate? A regular red wine drinker and connoisseur will tell you that it normally happens when pouring wine right out of the bottle while this noble drink needs time to breathe in some oxygen. And a proper aerator like the one from Venturi will be a real game-changer. We analyzed each model according to a test plan we developed to be fair and equal. Our three areas of performance comparison are Aroma and Taste Enhancement, Ease of Use and Cleaning, and Aesthetics. Read on below to see how each metric was assessed and which products shined brightest in each performance criterion. Aroma & Taste Enhancement We felt the aerator itself is extremely powerful. Wine showers out of the aerator in numerous small streams, exposing it to plenty of oxygen. The wine is dispensed so vigorously that it was hard to keep some from splashing out of the glass! Even with placing the head of the aerator completely inside the glass, we found it difficult to prevent a few drips from escaping when the bottle was tilted upright. When tested with Pinot Noir, this aerator helped make the wine more expressive—the hot alcohol aromas dissipated, and the fruit was much more readily apparent. A handy option that sets the Hotder apart from other models is a mesh filter. It is put on top of the aerator to avoid bottle cork or wine sediment getting into your glass. Every fan of red wines will really appreciate the benefit of this little item since red wines, especially the aged ones, are prone to sedimentation. How it works: It's simple! Place a glass under the Vinturi and pour your wine through the opening. 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 for white wine aeration, which mixes with the wine for the right amount of time, and delivers a better bouquet, enhanced flavors, and a smoother finish - the absolute perfect aeration. It’s that easy.

A: Normally, aeration is required for the wines which contain a lot of tannins causing a harsh bitter taste. These are young or full-bodied dry red wines prone to sedimentation. Dry whites will also benefit from aeration and taste more delicious. However, you should refrain from aerating sweet and fruity wines since they are not high in tannins and won’t benefit from aeration. This is yet another in-bottle aerator that is simply attached right onto the bottle. In fact, it doubles as an aerator and a handy pourer. The good thing about this type of aerators is that they ensure much easier and cleaner pouring. Once you attach it on the bottle, you can pour several glasses in a row without the need to switch glasses under the aerator like with bigger pour-through models. Ergonomically shaped, the spout will direct the flow right into your glass. As a result, there will be fewer spills and drips or even none if you are an experienced wine drinker, and no mess around, no wine rings on the tables and no accidental overflows. There are bottle-stop wine aerators and handheld wine aerators. Some of them are built into a decanter, so they're more like a combo aerator/decanter. And then, finally, there are electric wine aerators, too. For the 6-inch tall aerator to work, it does need to be held above your glass as the wine is poured. After going through the removable mesh sediment filter, the wine whooshes through the aerator chamber while making the unique sound of aerating. Since a few drops of wine tend to stay in the chamber, Vinturi includes a no-drip rubber stand to avoid messes and store the model between pours.Specifically made for red wine, this aerator opens and develops wines to deliver a better bouquet while enhancing flavors, it can be used to aerate an entire bottle or one single glass If you’re serious about your wine, chances are you already own one of Coravin's acclaimed wine preservation systems. This aerator attachment is designed for use with any Coravin system, which is a plus if you already use their wine-related products. We tested every aerator with a multitude of wines, varying in age, grape, quality and price. Here is the Soireehome looking snazzy next to some of our favorite bottles.
