TASTE TEST: Do Wine Aerators Work?

Wine aerators are supposed to speed up the aeration of your wine, saving time and allowing your vino to bloom aromatically without having to decant or uncork your bottle hours prior to serving. But do these wine aerators make a difference?
I taste test the Vinturi aerator to see if this said 'magical' process actually works, and give my product review of this interesting little wine accessory.

I purchased a double aerator that works wonders at least on the first bottle of Tacana , 2019 , Malbec I couldn't believe how much better the wine tasted than just poring it into a glass chilled first in the fridge and allowed to warm over a half hour or even a traditional decanter and this was the 11th bottle of 12 , so I had plenty of time to know this wine before double aerating last night , I will never fail to aerate a red wine again it was truly a whole new flavor and taste , just amazing how much better the experience of drinking this wine was last night and today Thanksgiving I will definitely repeat this process for my Family coming over for Dinner !

I taste tested 3 different models. The cheapest worked the best!! Since I cannot afford expensive wines your observation about affordable wines is on point. It can make a 15 dollar wine drinkable and much much better than unaerated. When I open my Gevrey-Chambertin for my birthday I will let you know if it makes a difference on more expensive wines. Also - Who can leave a bottle of wine breath for an hour??? lol

That's great! Good to know the cheaper models can work well... and yes, we'd be very interested to hear how an aerator like this does on something fancier - leaving wines to breathe for an hour is tough in indeed!

Bad news! my $75 bottle tasted SOUR!

I am getting my Coravin arriving today. It has an aerator that sprays the wine out 😊. We will see how it turns out.

Very exciting! The Coravin is a great tool.
