Wine aerators are useful things. Typically we open a bottle of red wine and just plough straight into it.

Other times, particularly if it’s a special bottle, we decide to follow the instructions at let it breath for an hour or so.

This is something that’s often a little hard to do, particularly at parties when a new bottle needs opening.

So if you are having a party, occasionally buy fancy red wines, or particularly if you’re having a wine tasting event, then this might be your solution.

Wine is poured into the glass or the decanter through the aerator. The pressure caused by the wine (and its gravitational pull), drags air up into the aerator and mixes into the wine.

Wine that has been aerated is said to have a smoother flavor, it allows the individual characteristics of the flavor and aroma to come to the front.

It may be some fun at a wine tasting party to allow guests to compare the same wine, not aerated and aerated.

A popular aerator that’s attracting a lot of attention is the Vinturi Wine Aerator that’s selling at about 50 dollars (34.10 on Amazon).

It might sound like a lot of money but if it makes your 20 dollar bottle of wine taste like a 20 dollar bottle (rather than a 10 dollar bottle), then maybe over time there is quite a saving to be had.
