Wine Aerator
 

Hello All!

I was given a wine aerator for my birthday but I have not detected
enough difference to make me want to use it consistently. I note that
the latest Brookestone's catalog says that their aerator is "also
available for white wines". I wonder do they have a special one for
white wines or is it just sloppy advert speak?

Brookstone does not specify what they are selling but the one I have is
called a Vinturi and looks very like the picture in the catalog.

Yes, Vinturi sells aerators for both red and white wine. Also see some
hype for Vinturi and another aerator in the 3 YouTube videos.

Not in answer to your query; just chatting.

I have the aerator you have, and I do use it most of the time. I cannot say
that I can taste the difference in all the wines that I pour, but I keep on
using it. It's become a ritual :-))

A wine store owner I shop with regularly says that he thinks it makes a
difference.

I have a VInturi and have done a number of blind tests and IMO, it
does a good job of aeration and the wines do taste different. I'm not
sure what the difference would be between a red and a white though.

I do now own one (fed up of $50 wine gadgets), but tried it with friends at
a tasting, pouring two glasses of old Rioja, one straight from the bottle,
another through the Vinturi, and the second one was better for all the
table.
