Loading... Please wait...Wine needs to breathe.
Wine which has been allowed to breathe tastes better. As wine breathes, it opens up, and releases its intended aromas and flavors. Traditionally, decanters have been used used to remove sediment and to aerate wine. However, decanting can be time consuming, cumbersome, and inconvenient.
Simply hold Vinturi over a glass and pour wine through. Vinturi draws in and mixes the proper amount of air for the right amount of time, allowing your wine to breathe instantly. You'll notice a better bouquet and enhanced flavors and an overall smoother experience. Vinturi's aeration is very effective at softening tannins which results in a much more pleasant finish. Any bitterness or bad aftertaste is reduced or eliminated.
All of the taste and none of the wait. Vinturi's patent pending design speeds up this process. Ease, convenience and perfect aeration in the time it takes to pour a glass. Your wine is table ready to serve in seconds. And no cleaning decanters - Vinturi is easy to clean. I just run mine under the tap, but you can throw it in the dishwasher too.
How it works.
When wine is poured in the Vinturi, it's internal design creates an increase in the wine's velocity and a decrease in its pressure. This pressure difference creates a vacuum that draws in air which is mixed with wine for perfect aeration. All of this is based on Bernoulli's Principle
The Effect on the Wine
Better Smell - You'll appreciate the aromatic differences and the full aroma of the wine. Vinturi allows wine to display its intended aromas.
Enhanced Flavor - Vinturi makes wine taste better. It is more flavorful and has better mouthfeel. It tastes like a richer, more expensive wine. It tastes like it was intended to and is more enjoyable. Vinturi's aeration is very effective at softening tannins which results in a much more pleasant finish. Any bitterness or bad aftertaste is reduced or eliminated.
This is a great gift for ay wine lover and for any occasion. The deluxe gift set makes a wonderful all occasion gift as well. If somebody already has and loves thier Vinturi, consider getting them the Tower stand.
The Package:
Comes with a no-drip stand, sediment filter and a travel pouch. Vinturi is small enough to take with you. Made of Acrylic, the aerator and stand are both dishwasher safe.
You should also know that every Vinturi appears to have 2 fine cracks in it. They are a result of the manufacturing process and Vinturi even have a picture of them in their FAQ's

This is amazing. We were in the Niagara Region and saw this "contraption" and it was not until the winery suggested they pour the same wine (which I had found a slight bit bitter) through the Vinturi aerator and what a difference. So instead of walking out with wine bottles, I was a proud owner of the Vinturi and use it regularly at home. We have purchased many as gifts for family and all have enjoyed and noticed the difference in the taste of their wine.
Totally satisfied and have never regretted the investment.

This is perfect for the 1-2 glass wine drinker - saves having to decant a bottle. I use it regularly and notice a smoother finish to my moderately priced wines. Now I'm looking for one as a gift.
