The Vinturi wine aerator is a great little device that allows you to drink wine the way it is supposed to taste as soon as you open the bottle. Basically the vinturi is really easy to use as all you need to do is pour the wine from the bottle through the vinturi and into your glass and you have wine that has been 100% aerated.

This little device works by increasing the velocity at which the wine is moving and also decreasing the actual pressure that is on the wine as it is being poured through the Vinturi.

Whilst this is happening air is sucked in through two small air holes on the sides of the device and this is circulated in with the wine. The Vinturi makes a kind of sucking noise as it mixes the air and wine and takes only a few seconds to use.

Aerating wine is highly recommended and before using things like wine aerators people used to decant wine with a decanter. When you aerate wine what you are doing is basically starting the oxidization process.

When wines are exposed to air for too long they will go bad. But a little bit of air just before you drink it is a good thing as this opens the wine up and new flavors that were being masked come out of the wine. It also allows for new bouquets to be released as well. Every wine will change if it is aerated but there are a few types of wine that will benefit extremely well from aerating.

These are the larger styles of wine like cabernets and Shiraz that are still quite young. Many people think that aerating a bad wine will make it taste better. Well this is not true - you will still have a bad wine - it will just be aerated and more of the flavors will be released. It doesn’t improve your wine so to speak.

The Vinturi wine aerator also comes with a carry pouch that you can use to carry it around if you go on a winery tour or even out to restaurant.

Many wineries and cellar doors now use the Vinturi wine aerator, as it is a quick and easy way to allow people to enjoy the wine the way it was made to taste. There are a few different kinds of aerators and ones that are specific to red wine and white wine. But overall - If you like wine you might find one of these useful. Cheers
