Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Vinturi Essential Wine Aerator
Customer Review: Vinturi wine aerator
Summary: 5 Stars
At first, I though this was just a time saving gimmick that claimed to reduce the time waiting for a fine red wine to breath. But I found that it really works. For the skeptics, I poured three small glasses of a just-opened red for each of my four tasters. Without them observing the pours, I gave each taster one glass that had been poured through the Vinturi and two that had not and asked them to note differences. Each taster identified the glasses that had been poured through the Vinturi as superior. As a further test, I allowed a red to breath for a half hour and repeated the test. Everyone graded the wine that had been poured through the Vinturi as smoother and thought it was a higher qaulity. It is also fun to use; it creates a captivating sound and will definitely get your party involved.
The Vinturi is impressive,fun and will positively add to your wine drinking experience!
Customer Review: Something fancy for your wine
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this for my boyfriend who has been intrigued by Vinturi for a long time. Wine and related gadgets are his territory. We have tried a few store around, but never found it on the shelf. Finally I decided to order one.
As advertised, this little device does improve the taste of wine a lot. We both agreed that the wine tasted richer and fuller after pouring through Vinturi. On that account, it was a good purchase. Plus, the price from Amazon was pretty good.
Other extra credits are the reactions from friends. A good friend who is quite knowledgeable about wine asked "what is a wine aerator?", which gave me a chance to show my 'expertise', :)
The aerator makes funny sound when you pour wine through. That's just how this thing 'forces' wine to breathe. So probably you should avoid pouring wine using Vinturi directly to your guest's glass.
Customer Review: An easy way to make average wine very drinkable
Summary: 5 Stars
Having drunk many different types and grades of wine over the years and while not being a pompous wine connoisseur I do enjoy a good wine and enjoy a good value wine even more. At home I always decant most of the red wines I purchase and this aerates the wines and removes a lot of tannins and produces a much smoother rounded taste. At a restaurant this is not very practical but using the Vinturi aerator you get as good if not better results without the need for the decanter and now I often find my self using the aerator at home as well.
On the down side it can be messy with wine sneaking out of the air wholes on the side and if you are not carefully running over the top if you pour too fast. But as a way to make a value $20 bottle of wine taste like its cost twice at much you cannot beat this little tool.
Customer Review: Never leave home without it!
Summary: 5 Stars
At first I doubted it but my son wanted desperately to buy me a present for the holidays so I told him to go for it. It does everything it says it does and I use it by the glass or with a decanter.
The first one was purchased online but now some wine shops in Florida are begining to carry them. Works with reds and whites, and immediately softens those tannis or acidity depending on the wine.
One side effect is that it introduced so many tiny microscopic bubbles into a Chardonay I was drinking that it made it slighly cloudy. Normally this is bad but since I detest the acidity of a Chardonay it was a totally welcome relief and the wine was sooooo much better!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - I have one in each car and one at home, I never drink wine without it and everyone who tries one - buys one!
Customer Review: This gadget really works!
Summary: 5 Stars
I find it amazing that people who have rated this one star never actually used the item. They seem unable to differentiate the product itself from communication issues. I tried this tonight at a wine tasting that involved some excellent Burgundy wines. Most people who drink old world reds know that some time in a decanter is necessary to allow the wine to open up in order to experience the full flavors of the wine. Doing a side by side test with the same wine using this device and not using it was eye opening. The Vinutri really works! My wife and I were both amazed at the difference and we used it on 3 different wines. I bought one before I left the tasting and immediately put it to use at home. You cannot go wrong with this if you can appreciate how enabling a wine to breath makes such a difference.
