Letting Wine breath without Decanting it

I love my Vinturi Wine Aerator.  It instantly aerates wine for a better bouquet and flavor.  But my suggestion is taste your wine first before you run it through the aerator.  Some wine become weaker and are better before you do this so try a bit, then try some aerated and see which you prefer.

You can purchase one of these from a variety of stores including but not limited to Brookstone, Crate and Barrell or William Sonoma.  They run about $40 and at Bookstone it's Item# 635144
A great gift for any wine enthusiast.

I found another one on QVC that I may like better.  The problem with the Venturi is that you need to hold it and pour into it over the glass which can result in spilled wine which is a sin.  They do now have a stand for this but that is too much to store.  So Rabbit is offering one on QVC which I ordered as a gift (yet to arrive).  I purchased the gold color.   Item# K31934 for $19.32+ $4.22 S/H.  If you don't know Rabbit let me tell you they make a great wine opener also.
