subject: How To Know If That Aerator You Found Is Really Right For You - A Short Review [print this page] When looking to buy wine aerators it's best to get all the facts and proceed from a well-educated point of view. A wine aerator is not a wine aerator, as they say; there are different types and brands and they're all a little bit different. As a rule of thumb, some aerators are better than others at allowing the wine to "open up" and others are more pleasant to look at.
Drinking wine is something that's one of life's simple pleasures; a good wine aerator will help you to enjoy your wine on an even higher level that you already do. With many brands, it's important to decide what's more important to you in an aerator, style and elegance or performance.
In fact, a different aerator for different occasions may not be such a bad strategy. Some aerators are constructed in such a way as to add to the overall ambiance of the meal or gathering and some are more practical. If you're having a formal dinner then an aerator that appears tacky will only take away from the overall appeal of the affair.
However, if you're enjoying some good wine with a few friends on a casual evening then a fancy aerator might not be appropriate. You'll probably want something that's functional and fun.
The Rabbit wine aerator is a good wine aerator that's fun and functional. In addition to aerating the wine it also acts as a strainer, as many aerators do, which is perfect if you have a heavy red wine with lots of sediment or if you accidentally break the cork and there's now a good deal of ground cork floating somewhere inside the wine bottle. But, the thing about the Rabbit aerator is that it's not nearly as elegant as a Vinturi aerator. The Rabbit is light-hearted and fun and is appropriate for certain gatherings, but not formal ones. It's also been reported that the Rabbit sometimes causes some red wines to taste a bit too fruity. Of course, that's not to say that it's not a good product.
The Vinturi aerator is a popular one in the U.S. market, probably because it's very fancy and elegant looking. In America wine drinking is still somewhat associated with high culture and can have an exclusive feel to it, unlike in Europe where wine drinking is omnipresent.
The Vinturi is excellent at opening up a wine's flavor, although it has been described as a bit unwieldy. If the pourer is not extremely careful this particular aerator will spill and leak, going slowly is extremely important. So, perhaps with a bit of practice this could become your wine aerator for fancier gatherings.
However, if you want a design that easy to use, look for one that sits atop the glass, creating one complete breathing system. You simply place it on the glass and let the wine flow through it. It's the simplest design to use and you may be surprised at the level of aeration in your wine!
