Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Vinturi Essential Wine Aerator
Customer Review: this really works!
Summary: 5 Stars
Vinturi Essential Wine AeratorA friend told me about this product. She had gotten it as a gift and was pleased with it. Neither of us buy expensive wines, but we enjoy a moderate priced wine with our dinner. I thought I'd take a chance and purchase it on Amazon. I drink red wine and usually pour it in a decanter before I drink it. This seems to do a little more than that. It may be the sound and process that influences the mind, but whatever it is, it is fun and I feel it works. I was told that decanting the wine releases some of the stuff that causes the headaches with red wine.....So anything that aids in this process is worthwhile.Customer Review: Excellent improvement in wine quality!
Summary: 5 Stars
Purchased this for my girlfriend for Christmas - for our first try, she called me into the room and had two glasses of wine waiting and asked me to see if I could tell the difference. From the very first smell, it was IMMEDIATELY clear which glass of wine was superior due to aeration. We used a bottle of Turning Leaf Pinot Noir for this first sampling. The taste was much more enjoyable, and the acidity of the aerated glass was nill compared to the non-aerated glass. As we've been using the product for just a few minutes now, this won't be a very detailed review - I just want to say this absolutely makes a better glass of wine. I feel somewhat disappointed I've been drinking wine all these years without a device like this!Customer Review: Vinturi

This device works! The Vinturi exhibits a peculiar hissing noise as wine is aerated while passing through on the way to the exit hole. Upon hitting the glass the wine has some foam/bubbles on the surface which quickly dissipate. We have used Vinturi on wines in the 8-20 dollar range and each one has benefitted from the aeration process.
The wines are immediately smoother and fuller in taste.
Realize you must place the device in the holder between uses as it will slowly release a few drops of wine (through the side holes and the bottom exit hole) after each use. I/we don't consider this a drawback, merely part of the process and well worth it.
We are so pleased with this item that we've given it as gifts.
Customer Review: Be prepared to rethink those cheap bottles of wine!
Summary: 5 Stars
While wine-tasting in Solvang, a wine tasting room used this aerator on a glass of wine. We were able to try a before and after tasting. I was so impressed that I needed to buy it. Months later and I've finally gotten around to it. I bought the cheapest wine I could find. A bottle of Charles Shaw Cab or "2-buck Chuck" as it is known in some circles. I also did a before and after. The "after" was amazing. I've never tasted wine like that straight from the bottle before. The acidity was gone and it became smoother, fruitier. It was amazing. Can you imagine what it can do for a more expensive bottle of wine? I love my brand new aerator! Definitely a great buy and a great gift for the winos in your family.Customer Review: We love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
My girlfriend loves it! I tried it with her and it definitely changes the experience of the wine!
We are not super sommeliers or anything, but we enjoyed it and I was very surprised at the difference. We do tend to get cheaper wines, and we liked them that much more thanks to this toy.
The stand is elegant. Very convenient and keeps the wine off the counter top.
The one thing we found is that you really have to pour at a fair pace to get it to "kick in". When we first tried less than half a glass, it didn't really work correctly. Pouring a full glass through it made a more definitive sucking sound and it was very easy to taste the difference.
Enjoy!
