Venturi Essential Wine Aerator Review

Aficionados have been touting the advantages of aerating wine for years. In the past, the masses have seen it as a novel, snobbish approach to drinking wine. More recently, casual wine fans are being won over because the benefits often exceed expectations when they try it with friends. With innovative products that make it easier than ever, letting your wine “breathe” has hit the mainstream.

Wines are decanted for two main reasons. 1) To get the sentiment out of the wine and 2) To open up the wine and give it some air so it has better aroma and characteristics when drinking it. To explain it in more detail, aeration allows the wine to take in the air quickly, allowing it to ‘breathe,’ thus mellowing the tannins, improving the bouquet, drawing out rich flavors, and smoothening the finish.

An incredible aspect of the Venturi wine aerator is the fact it only requires a quick pour through the vessel. This way you can aerate a glass of wine in a matter of seconds whereas with traditional models you have to pour the entire bottle into a big glass jug and wait much longer for the process to finish.

The Venturi in a slick looking contraption all by itself but beyond the exterior it makes use of cutting-edge engineering and science. Here’s how it works. As liquid moves at a faster speed, the pressure goes down. The Venturi uses that difference in pressure to introduce the optimal amount of air. Simply pour the wine into the shot-sized chamber then listen for the amusing bubbling sound.

In several blind taste tests conducted by wine magazines and reviewers, the wine treated with the Venturi wine aerator was found to have a better overall taste and a more intense aroma. Essentially it makes any bottle of red or white wine better. Inexpensive wines that typically have harsh tannins get the most benefit, making the characteristics comparable with more expensive bottles. It won’t make trash into a masterpiece. It will take anything decent up a notch and make good wines great.

Although people that already have a traditional aerator may not need to run out and buy one of these, if you don’t have one yet this model is highly recommended by wine experts, foodies and casual wine drinkers. It’s an extremely popular gift item, perfect for anyone who enjoys a good glass of wine.
