Tame the tannins with the Vinturi

Dear Wine Ladies,

I recently heard about a new product called the Vinturi that softens a wine instantly. Are you familiar with it and does it work? Is this the same as the soiree you talked about a few months ago?

Dear Edward,

Yes, we know the Vinturi well, thanks to Rosehill Wine Cellars, and experimented with it last evening with a Carmenere from Chile. There were three of us in the group of which two of us noticed a discernible difference in the wine once poured through the Vinturi. The bouquet was slightly more pronounced and the tannins slightly tamed. A good experience and a fun experiment!

Are the Soiree and the Vinturi the same? Not exactly, although both are wine aerators. The soiree is a bottle-top aerator; it fits securely into the wine bottle allowing you to pour without dripping one glass at a time. The Vinturi is also a portable wine aerator, compact and sleek in design but does not attach to the wine bottle. Simply hold the Vinturi over the glass and pour. Very fast, effective and attractive particularly when placed in it’s velvety soft pouch, ready to go.
