Vinturi aerates your red wine when you don’t have time to let it breathe

You’ve probably heard that it’s best to let red wine “breathe” for a while before you serve it.  Letting it mix with air brings out more of the wine’s bouquet and lets you enjoy the taste that the winemaker intended.

Sometimes, however, you don’t have time to let wine breathe.  Maybe guests show up unexpectedly.  Maybe you have to pop open a new bottle in the middle of a party and have thirsty guests.  Maybe you want to enjoy a glass after work, and simply don’t want to wait.

A new product called Vinturi Essential Wine Aerator can help.  You pour the wine through Vinturi into the glass, and Vinturi’s hourglass-shaped cylinder aerates the wine in seconds.  I had the opportunity to taste wine aerated by Vinturi on a recent trip to Nashville, and it did seem to make a difference.  It’s a small investment (currently selling for slightly north of $30 on Amazon) that can make your wines taste much better.
