We’ve been trying different aerators at home, and the Vinturi aerator is our favorite, for several reasons. Most importantly, the shape is the most natural – not too big or ornate, but not flimsy or cheap. It’s easy to clean, and feels like it will last forever.

Another reason we like the Vinturi aerator is it’s simplicity. It doesn’t get inserted into a bottle, it doesn’t need a filter, it can be held by hand, or can be used with a stand (the Vinturi Tower).

Vinturi’s aerator is really easy to clean. There are not skinny tubes or impossible-to-reach enclosures, and it’s dishwasher safe – though really, all you need to do is rinse the aerator for a few seconds after you’re done pouring.

All the aerators seemed to perform about the same – all seemed to smooth out tight, young wines – so at the end of the day, it’s about personal preference – we would never use an aerator for our nicely aged bottles – but for everyday swill, the Vinturi aerator is the way to go
