What is a Vinturi Aerator?
The Vinturi wine aerator is a great tool. Wine that is allowed to breathe usually tastes a lot better and typically better displays it’s true expression. Sometimes when you don’t feel like pouring your wine into a decanter and waiting an hour or two for it to open up, this tool really comes in handy.
You simply hold the Vinturi aerator over you glass and pour the wine through the device. What happens is the wine passes through the chamber and draws in the perfect mix of oxygen and produces a steady flow of micro-bubbles into the wine. This forces the oxygen into the wine and micro-oxygenates it which helps the wine to open up instantly. What could take you an hour in a decanter to achieve can be accomplished in a matter of seconds.
This also comes in very handy if your serving a number of guests and need to aerate more than just one bottle. It would be difficult to have 10 decanters flowing at the same time! I definitely recommend this device for any wine enthusiast and if you’re like me then you scoop up almost every effective wine gadget to enhance you wine experience.
