 everything it promised Aug 29, 2010
The vinturi is the third we have purchased (for ourselves and for gifts). It does exactly as advertised making wine right out of the bottle taste like it's been opening for an hour or more. We love it and so do the people we gave them to for gifts.
 Helpful, but not magic Aug 26, 2010
Don't expect a miracle, but it does help. I usually let a good glass of red wine sit for about an hour to an hour and a half before drinking it. The Vinturi product cannot match this, however, it is equivalent to letting wine sit for about 15 to 20 minutes. If that's what you are used to doing, you'll be happy. If you really let your wine age properly, you won't be happy unless you are simply using the device to speed up the process. Using the Vinturi and then letting the wine sit for an hour produces a nice wine. It can cut about 30 minutes off the normal process without the aerator.
I tested the device on four bottles of good reasonably priced wines. They were -
1) Bogel Old Vine Zinfandel (2007) - full body, very good Zin $11
2) Rodney Strong Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon (2007) - very good Cabernet that needs some air $18
3) Shenandoah Vineyards Zinfandel Special Reserve (2008) - very nice full body zin $10
4) Grand Pacific Vineyards Heritage Red table Wine (2007) - surprisingly decent inexpensive and easily drinkable $7
The aerator worked to some degree on all of the wines, but on the full bodied Cabs and Zins, it really couldn't begin to compete with letting a glass of wine sit in a wide glass for 90 minutes. For the table wine, it did a better job, but there was still a noticeable difference between letting it age naturally and using the aerator. Blind tests on all of the wines showed modest improvements over drinking the wine straight out of the bottle, but also showed significant difference between aerating and further aging.
Next point, the tower is a joke. It enhances splattering instead of preventing it. The only way to use the tower and stop splatter is to jam the opening below the rim of the glass. Without the tower, the device isn't bad.
Great Kit Aug 07, 2010
I bought this kit for a friend's birthday, and he loves it. I've used it and it's amazing at how quickly it aerates wine. I would recommend this for any wine enthusiast.
Great gift Jul 19, 2010
Great gift for party giver. Pricey if not on special. Not sure how much it may improve the taste of the wine - but is fun to use.
Vinturi Delux set Jul 02, 2010
I had used this at a friend's house and it worked great. So much so that I went out and got one. One of the things that was also nice is if there is a bunch of sediment in the wine that this helps to filter it. Also you can tell the difference when you use it. I would recommend it
