Vinturi Turns You Into a Wine Geek

http://go.tagjag.com/thinkgeek - http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - We normally talk tech in my live chat room. But, occasionally, we tend to talk of other things. One of those things happens to be fine wines. I enjoy a glass or two of wine at times... preferably a nice red wine. The problem with red wine is that you have to let them breathe... nearly an hour after opening! I want a shortcut. And, I love gadgets and gizmos! The Vinturi Essential Wine Aerator works. I don't have to wait any more after opening my bottle of wine prior to drinking it. It really does make a huge difference in the taste. http://chris.pirillo.com - http://geeks.pirillo.com

My red wines are better, and cheaper than yours. I live in South-East Australia. Would you like one as a belated christmas pressy?

Best way to test is to try a glass un-aerated, then try an aerated glass, then try un-aerated again... then try aerated again, repeat for a few hours.

Hey Chris does this make Coke taste better?  Try it on some soda.

I love mine, works great! Though it is mostly unstated, the purpose of the Venturi is to mellow out intense wines, which tend to be more recent and unaged (e.i. inexpensive wines). Also, it can rescue improperly stored wines that are a few days old, making them drinkable. The downside, delicate aged reds (e.i. expensive wines) can have all flavor stripped out with forced rapid aeration.

@cssful haha in Australian you need to be 18 but you can drink whatever spirit you like.

Yes indeed, a gadget that WORKS.

Do the triple test wine tasting drill:

Pour into one glass straight up, no swirl, no aerator. Taste.

Pour into glass and swirl by hand. Taste.

Pour into glass through the aerator. Taste.

A world of difference. Distinguish between the three, that's the fun part.

Cleanse the palate in between.

Salud.
