Most wine people are aware of a device call a Vinturi...When pouring a glass you pour the wine through the Vinturi which then aerates the wine..opening it up and doing all sorts of good things according to the company....
I have one and have used it quite a bit..but does it really work? And does it improve your wine?
Yes and Maybe.
It definitely aerates the wine...and feeding it oxygen to kick off that chemical process..There is no doubt about that...
But does it improve your wine? Maybe. Sometimes you want to see the evolution of the wine...especially with older wines, you might skip something really fantastic about the wine that is only going to last a short while...
I rarely use my Vinturi any longer...at least not when I'm drinking at home. I'd much rather just wait and swirl it around and watch the wine evolve...
There are times though..especially with guests..where you don't have time to wait for a wine that is just too tight....and it really just needs that kick in the behind to get it going. It is those times you're glad you have it and happy you're using it because it definitely helps...
