Who doesn’t love a good glass of wine to accompany a delicious meal? The key word here being good! If taking the time to prepare a dinner, the wine should stand up to the food and complement it. In a perfect world, we should all be decanting our wine to bring out the best flavors, but few of us think to start the process at least 20 minutes before drinking. My husband and I love wine, and have traveled to Napa, Sonoma, Tuscany and France to explore vineyards. We’ve brought back cases of wine, and I cringe when I think of the amazing bottles that didn’t live up to their full potential because we didn’t decant them.
I’m very happy to note that this won’t be an issue moving forward now that I have the new VinLuxe Wine Aerator, from lifestyle accessory company Andre Lorent. The innovative, three-step aeration process is patented, and is 300 percent faster than traditional decanting. The wine’s poured through the top of the device, and an umbrella-like system opens the wine, which then goes through 32 holes in the second step to aerate the wine, before the wine completes aeration in the third step by funneling through an air tube before it reaches your glass. The result is a smoother, more balanced and flavorful wine.
I noticed a difference as soon as I took the first sip of wine from the VinLuxe. I decided to test it out with a group of friends, and set up a blind taste test. I gave each person two glasses with a sample of wine – one of which was filtered through the VinLuxe, and the other poured directly from the bottle. Each of the five “testers” definitively chose the wine that was aerated with the VinLuxe – the difference between the two glasses was that obvious! All of the taste testers were eager to purchase their own after experiencing how much it enhanced wine. Though unofficial and small, my little experiment assured me that pouring wine through the VinLuxe is a necessary step for every glass. Luckily it takes mere seconds for delicious wine that lives up to its flavor notes and profile. The VinLuxe Wine Aerator is sold exclusively on Amazon, and is priced at $39.95 with a 100 percent lifetime money back guarantee.
Whether you’re a casual drinker or an experienced oenophile, adding the VinLuxe wine aerator to your collection is as essential as the wine itself!
