Hey there fellow oenophiles! A welcomed Christmas gift this year was the alternative to the decanter -The Vinturi. This is a breakthrough device that allows air to pass through the wine in a balanced, not over bloomed manner. The sleek design of the handheld filtration system is ideal for by-the-glass occasions. The whirring sound of liquid passing through the tubes is reminiscent to that of a toilet, and well worth the oooh's and awes of your guests.
From a taste perspective, this device is essential to the art of wine tasting. Sampling a filtered glass next to one that hasn't been passed through The Vinturi is like tasting two different wines. I have even attempted to make a shitty wine better by aerating it through the filter, which sometimes works!
The one let down is that it's somewhat of a mess if you can't get your pour precise as wine dribbles out the two air holes on either side of the apparatus.
Pretty photo....!
