Wine needs to breathe, it just opens up and tastes better, but if you’re anything like me, I wither don’t think far enough ahead to decant, or I just want wine when I open it.

Thankfully, the Vinturi is my new best friend. I’ve got a Vinturi red wine aerator, and when the opportunity came to try out the white wine aerator, I was, yet again, skeptical but interested. ‘Surely white wine doesn’t change dramatically enough to need to be aerated!?’.

I should really just stop being so skeptical and listen when I’m told something.

It’s a longstanding myth that white wine does not need aeration. The truth is that white wine displays the same improvements with aeration as red wine. Vinturi for White Wine has different internal dimensions and flow rates. The result is perfect aeration specifically for white wine.

So what does the Vinturi for White Wine actually do?

BETTER BOUQUET
Sample the nose. You’ll appreciate the subtle aromatic differences and the full aroma of the wine. Vinturi allows wine to display its intended aromas.

ENHANCED FLAVORS
Go ahead, take a sip. Vinturi’s wine tastes better. It is more flavorful and has better mouthfeel. It tastes like a richer, more expensive wine. It tastes like it was intended to and is more enjoyable.

SMOOTHER FINISH
Vinturi’s aeration enhances and extends the finish. Any bitterness or bad aftertaste is reduced or eliminated.

I tried this tonight with an Oregon Riesling. It’s beautiful and makes a great stocking stuffer for your favourite wino at $39.95. Buy online at Vinturi or Bed, Bath & Beyond, BevMo, Brookstone, Crate & Barrel, Nordstrom, Sur la Table, Wine Styles and CostPlus World Market.
