Review on 🍷 VinOair Wine Aerator by Nicholas by Shirley Johnson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works almost as well as a carafe

Bought this as a sort of stocking stuffer for my husband. I was hoping for something that would carbonate the wine a bit without spending a fortune (and without making a mess). It seemed like the perfect compromise between cost and features. We ran an experiment two days ago to see how this meshes with decanting wine. We bought a recommended bottle of New Argentine Malbec from a vendor who said to let it sit for 30 minutes to get the best flavor. It seemed like the perfect wine to try this aerator. We poured everyone a glass of wine and left it for 30 minutes. Then, before we tasted the wine, we immediately poured two smaller glasses of wine – one from the bottle and one with an aerator. There was a noticeable difference between wine poured straight from the bottle and wine poured with an aerator. It was more difficult to distinguish the aerator from the settled wine. While I'd probably recommend decanting your reds before drinking, this seems like a great option if you're pouring right before drinking. And you can't beat the price.

Pros
  • Also works as a wine pourer and drip stopper
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
