Vinturi wine aerator

The Vinturi aerator is a clever accessory developed by a team of industrial engineers who created a device that combines elegance and design with true functionality. It is based on a physical principle formulated by the Italian physicist Giovanni Battista Venturi (1746–1822), which states that when a fluid flows through a narrower section of a tube, its pressure drops.

By adding two small air inlets at this point, the difference in pressure draws air in, instantly aerating the wine as it passes through. In blind tastings carried out with winemakers and sommeliers at wineries across California, 99% of participants could immediately identify the wine served using the Vinturi aerator compared to that poured straight into the glass.
