Breathe Easier…

Wine Gadgets

The Vinturi wine aerator allows you and your wine to breathe a bit easier. Gone are the days of having to put wine into a decanter to open up the aromas and flavor. Today most red wines  can typically aerate in 15-20 minutes. Young wines with high tannins, however, will take longer. They may need to breathe for up to an hour.Now you can cut the breathing time of most wines down to seconds by using the Vinturi aerator. The great device makes the wine experience even more special by allowing the bouquet to blossom. It also makes the flavor more pronounced and softens the tannins providing a smoother finish. When I first head about the Vinturi I must admit  I was skeptical. After trying it, I am sold. 

 

This little device is magical.  Because of it’s design air is mixed in with the wine while pouring it into the glass so it aerates in just a matter of seconds.To use the device simply hold it over your glass and pour the wine through it. Once you taste your wine you will never want to drink without the Vinturi again.

 

Not a red wine fan? That is okay because now there is a Vinturi for white wine also. It’s been a longstanding myth that you don’t have to air white wine. White wine, when aired, also produces a rich aroma and enhanced flavor. The Vinturi for white wine looks similar to the red wine aerator. It is, however, designed a little different in that the air to liquid ratio has been altered because white wine doesn’t need as much air as red. The results of the white aerator are the same as the red from what I am told. Those individuals I spoke with said they could really see a difference in their white wines as well.vinturi-product_white

Both aerators can be purchased for around $39.99 at Crate & Barrel.  A must have for all wine lovers, this little device is definitely a jackpot.
