This is unbelievable how this changes the taste of red wine. If you pour it slow, it does not make a mess, like I have read on some reviews. Easy to wash. I would highly recommend this.

great item for any red wine lover. also have this product for whites.

The drips from the venturi are messy and embarassing when we have company. It should have been designed so this would not happen! I got so mad at it that I threw it out.

I couldnot believe the difference it made in the flavor of the wine!!

I have a Vinturi Wine Aerator and was purchasing 2 for my relative for Christmas. In the airports at Brookstone, I found them for $10 cheaper! Aren't airport prices supposed to be higher? I love the product but save yourself some money and shop around!

I wanted to get the aerator after using my friend's.

A great way to decant your red wine! I would recommend it for anyone who loves red wine.

After learning about this aerator in a restaurant that used one tableside, we knew we had to find one! It is amazing to pour a glass of red wine through the aerator, and it immediately tastes like it has breathed for 10 minutes.
After enjoying one at home, I purchased another for our vacation home, and then another one for my father in law for his birthday. He mentioned that he likes Cabernet Sauvignon, but can't find a good one. I asked him if he drinks it right after pouring...he replied "yes" so I gave him a mini-lesson in letting wine breathe to open and develop flavor. We purchased this aerator and wrapped it with a bottle of Estancia C.S. and wished him Happy Birthday! Boy was he happy! He now has a favorite new toy, as we all do. This aerator is effective, fun and reasonable priced here at Cooking.com. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!

Getting a red wine to breath and open up sometimes can take a bit of time. So, just like everything else we do today, we want it YESTERDAY! But does this thing really work? The answer is "Yes!" Don't believe it? Open a bottle of red wine. Immediately pour some into a glass and taste it. Yep, needs to open! Now immeditaely pur some throught the Vinturi Wine Aerator and try it again. AMAZING! Not as good as the instant diet pill that immediately has me losing 10 pounds and getting immediately into excellent physical condition (want this next on Cooking.com!) but it DOES make the wine instantly drinkable!

I purchased 2 of these as gifts for my wine drinking friends. they love it. you don't need to break the bank to give a perfect gift. If you know someone who drinks wine, this would be the perfect gift.

It dramatically improves the flavor of wine, even the cheaper brands. Thanks to the inventor

The product met my expectations. There was noticeable improvement in the taste of wine after using the aerator compared to without the aerator. The packaging is attractive also the storage kit.

I ordered the aerator for my husband's anniversary gift - Boy, was he happy! We have a decanter for aerating an entire bottle of wine, but the individual aerator works GREAT! Glad I found it!

This product works quite well. My wife and I did a side by side taste test comparing wine poured through it to wine that was allowed to breath for three hours. I was amazed. While not quite as good as the "three hour wine", it's results were excellent. While I still prefer wine that has been allowed to breath, this product will undoubtedly be used many times when we decide to open a bottle on the spur of the moment. The price is rather steep considering what it is. There are no moving parts or machenery and I think they could produce it less expensivly, but if you like good wine, I guess it's worth it.

I tried the Vinturi Red Wine Aerator on a "bargain" Merlot, a bargain Cabernet Sauvignon, and a low priced Malbec. Each bottle was lifted at least two notches. I'm not going to say that they were equal to a $50 bottle, but each was much more drinkable; the Malbec was impressive after being aerated with the Vinturi. I think I will more than recover the purchase price in the compliments I will receive on the "delicious" wines I serve my guests. And, no one will ever guess the price of these delicious wines!

No more waiting hours in a decantor.

This was purchased as a gift for friends. We got a lot of appreciative feed-back on the enjoyment from this gift. It worked extremely well with every wine they used it with, and was quite a conversation piece with their other friends.

This aerator does improve the taste of red wines. I like red wine but this device does take out more of the bite you can get with expensive or cheap red wine. We use it every day.

It doesn't just look good It works great! The flavor profile change is amazing.

this product REALLY improves that bottle of 'just opened wine'. we did a taste test and the difference was definite. it is solid and comes with a stand so it also looks good sitting out with the wine.

Bought this with some hesitation but decided what did I have to lose (but $30.00?) Opened it yesterday and used it on a 2009 bottle of Merlot and the difference between straight pour and aerated wine was amazing. Going now to buy more cheap red wines to sample through it. Expect the best!
