Customer Rating: Summary: don't buy Comment: Do not purchase from this company. After waiting 3 weeks for the item, I had to contact them as to status of shipment. They informed me to fill a claim because they could not honor purchase. Still waiting for claim to be resolved. Customer Rating: Summary: AWFUL, AWFUL AND MORE AWFUL Comment: Not only did we not receive this item, but we received numerous emails from this company including promises the item was shipped and then "delayed" as a result of flooding. After weeks of waiting, we finally got a note saying we wouldn't get the aerators ....with absolutely no explanation. And they even said it would be our responsibility to take the issue up with Amazon. What horrible, horrible treatment and service!!!!!!!! Customer Rating: Summary: I air on the side further testing Comment: I have not used this device on a bottle of wine where the benefits of using it would be noticeable. The wines that I have been drinking don't improve significantly with its usage. Customer Rating: Summary: Great! Comment: I got this as a gift for my dad, the wine connoisseur, for Father's day and he absolutely loves it. He uses most every night and always has to show it off to his friends. It was the best Father's day girft I've ever gotten him! Customer Rating: Summary: Blind taste test and the power of suggestion Comment: Many of the reviewers here are claiming that the Vinturi works. Well, I was skeptical, yet I was curious enough to purchased one.
I began by pouring an ounce or two of a red wine directly into the glass, not using the aerator, then tasting the wine. Then I'd pour more of the same wine through the Vinturi and taste again. In most cases I believed I could taste a difference between the non-aerated and aerated wine. For a week or two I was quite impressed with the Vinturi; yet deep inside I was wondering whether the power of suggestion was influencing my assessment.
Then I came up with a great idea. I left the room and had my wife pour three glasses of red wine from the same bottle; two were poured without the aerator and one with the aerator. Once the bubbles from the aeration settled (30 seconds or so), my wife called me back into the room to perform the "blind tasting" to see if I could discern the wine which had been poured through the Vinturi.
It turns out that the Vinturi really does work. I was able to pick which wine of the three was aerated. All skepticism has been removed as far as I'm concerned. I've recommended the Vinturi to several of my wine drinking friends and they likewise have confirmed the effectiveness of the Vinturi's aeration.
There are two reasons why I don't give this product a five star rating. The first reason, as another reviewer has already noted, is that the wine must be carefully poured into the Vinturi at a specific rate. Pour too fast and the wine will overflow. Pour too slow and the Vinturi will run dry and won't aerate properly. It takes careful attention.
Second, the Vinturi will continue to drip wine after each use. It does come with a handy little holder, which keeps the wine from running onto the table, but then the little holder needs to be washed after each use.
These concerns are small matters in the overall perspective. It really comes down to the drinking experience. If you enjoy tasting good red wines then these blemishes are small compromises to make.
