I bought the pair of these (for red and white wines) because Amazon’s price for a bundle was very good. So, when they arrived, I grabbed a bottle of red and a bottle of white wine and did some taste comparisons with the wife. We tasted a wine before and after aerating. I have to say, if nothing else, these things are very entertaining. When you pour wine into the top and it comes out the bottom into your wine glass, the wine bubbles loudly and it makes you laugh – very entertaining for a party. The difference is very noticeable. Wine run through the aerator is smoother and has more flavor. Nobody has ever guessed wrong about whether a wine was aerated or not. The quality of wine affects how the aerator works. A really bad wine may become drinkable, but don’t expect it to become even good. On the other hand, a mediocre wine can become quite drinkable. So, your mileage will vary, but you should taste the difference clearly. I liked them so much, I bought another package and sent it to my duaghter who is also a wine lover. Great product.

These certainly change the taste of a young wine. No need to wait 20+ minutes to serve. I love this product. There is no difference between the black and white aerators. They work exactly the same it is just for convenience so you don’t need to clean it out if you are serving both red and white wines. Use the black one to serve your reds and use the white one to serve your whites.

The wine vinturi does what it states in the advertisement. Found the use of them does enhance the taste of the wine when decanted using the venturi. Excellent delivery service and I would endorse the purchase to anybody.

I am in no way a wine snob. But, the GF loves to consume wine. I may have a glass a week, she’s closer to one a night. So, the idea of decanting a whole bottle to allow it to breathe before serving makes sense, but you kinda have to drink the whole bottle that night. When you’re entertaining, no problem. But, if you just want to pour a glass for yourself, it’s really hard to commit to decanting a whole bottle.
So, I bought the kit (with the electronic wine opener, which is great fun). Now, it is a two handed operation. You have to hold the aerator in one hand, bottle in the other, glass on the table. If you don’t pour fast enough, the air doesn’t get sucked in through the side holes. If you pour too fast, you run the risk of overflowing. But, to be honest, it’s pretty simple and you get the hang of how fast to pour and you can hear the sucking sound (which sounds odd, but it’s a clear sign of air being infused with the wine). So, that’s as tricky as it gets. Oh, and with whatever hand you’re holding the aerator make sure you fingers don’t cover the holes on the side, where the air gets sucked in. That’s it…those are all the tips you need.
The red wine aerator has a screen for particles. The white wine one doesn’t. The kit comes with a cute travel bag, etc. and the stands are easy/convenient.
But, now the subjective part. Does it affect taste? Of course it does. I did a lot of blind comparisons with friends and with the GF. Which is also a good excuse to have people over to drink. And I’ve served aerated and non-aerated, the same bottle, and people think it’s two different wines, every time. Most prefer the aerated version of the same wine. It can make a $7 bottle wine that much smoother. Does it make it a $200 bottle of wine? Heck if I know, I don’t buy $200 bottles of wine. The most expensive I get is $30, tops.
Like any good wino, I have my favorite types of wine at all price points. So, it makes the wines I like, taste better, for sure. It can make a good wine a little bit better. Similar to how a great wine benefits from being decanted. So, it is a palpable difference, usually for the better. And, without the commitment of an entire bottle. I can aerate one glass at a time and feel no pressure to finish the bottle that night.
In short, I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a simple thing and it does “force” a wine to breathe for immediate, glass by glass, consumption.

These aerators work well, enhancing the taste of the wine, but they are a surprising hassle to use. If you don’t rinse them right after pouring, and put them back in their holder stands, then mold grows in the holder stands — gross and ugly, especially the white.
So now every time I pour wine I immediately walk to the sink (catching the drips from the aerator in my hand) rinse it and my hands, and dry it (so it doesn’t get covered with ugly water spots…) before setting it back in it’s holder. Just leaving them sitting on the counter ’till pouring the next glass isn’t a good option; their football like shape makes them tend to roll around and roll right off the counter. Overall: works, but a lot more hassle to use than I expected.
