  Better Tasting Wine And A Sleek Look! November 17, 2008
Everyone in my family drinks wine with dinner. We are always on the lookout for an inexpensive great tasting wine. We are aware of how important letting wine breathe is (aeration). Often a decanter is a good solution, but if you are just not ready to let wine sit to aerate, this very fine `aerator' is great. Not only is it sleek and progressive in appearance, but it brings out the best in wine. Simply pour your wine through the Vinturi and it automatically mixes the proper amount of air into your wine right into your glass. It immensely improves the bouquet, the taste and the finish. This makes a fantastic gift for any wine lover. The price is just right.
Amazing November 17, 2008
I'm not sure how it does it, but this aerator can make a $12 bottle of wine taste like a $50 dollar bottle. Totally cuts down on the bite at the end of cheap wine, and makes expensive wine taste that much better. This is how wine was meant to be enjoyed.

As a wine accessory, I can't say it's a necessity or that you'll like every wine more after you use it. But it looks great, is very unique, is fun to play with, is a great conversation piece and with a price tag under [...], I think it's a great gift for a wine lover who already has all of the essentials.

Something fancy for your wine November 4, 2008
I ordered this for my boyfriend who has been intrigued by Vinturi for a long time. Wine and related gadgets are his territory. We have tried a few store around, but never found it on the shelf. Finally I decided to order one.
As advertised, this little device does improve the taste of wine a lot. We both agreed that the wine tasted richer and fuller after pouring through Vinturi. On that account, it was a good purchase. Plus, the price from Amazon was pretty good.
Other extra credits are the reactions from friends. A good friend who is quite knowledgeable about wine asked "what is a wine aerator?", which gave me a chance to show my 'expertise', :)
The aerator makes funny sound when you pour wine through. That's just how this thing 'forces' wine to breathe. So probably you should avoid pouring wine using Vinturi directly to your guest's glass.

This is an outstanding device. It adds O2 to red wine making the need to "let it breath" unnecessary. I tried it on some sub par vintages and it amped up the taste markedly. This is required equipment for red wine lovers.
