How does the vin luxe work to aerate wine? Same idea as a decanter?

Thanks for your question! The VinLuxe wine aerator uses a three step aeration process that is globally patented and opens your wine in seconds, through the process of just pouring it into your wine glass. This saves a lot of time compared to waiting for a wine decanter to naturally air the wine. We believe this represents a significant improvement.

Not the vinluxe, the Professional Commercial Grade Wine Aerator Decanteris the best!!

Yes, provided of course for optimum tasting you rinse the aerator with distilled water after each use. There is also a cleaning brush you can purchase that will clean out any sediment following the final use of the day/evening. I think it's ~$8-9. Here is a great article on tastings and using an aerator, etc.http://norcalwine.com/blog/51-general-interest/157-do-wine-aerators-work-a-are-they-worth-the-moneyHope this is helpful - best of luck with your wine tasting. Fun!

Hi, Beverley. We first encountered this saver vacuum in Italy and really like it over the rubber stopper with vacuum pump. All you do is place this stopper on the bottle, push down & pump to let the air out. Them it easily stores and when you want to reopen, simply lift up (it has a tight seal so you will have to lift with a bit of force. We find it convenient and a good way to store reopened wine. Hope this helps! Bill

The top and the decanter are both crystal so it may not be 100% air tight. I do know that the taste definitely doesn't change!

Buy a champagne stopper. They work great for keeping sparkling wine bubbly.

It does not have a metal filter that goes on top like some aerator's have. It does however have small holes in the second stage that can filter out the larger sediments "cork for example." Most modern wines do not really have much sediment in them anyway, and if they do, you can pour them through a cheese cloth or into a decanter. If I am going to drink an older wine that I know will have sediment, I will pour it into a decanter, then pour it from the decanter, through this aerator and into my glass. Cheers! Edit: Also, no it does not come apart, that I am aware of. All you need to do is run water through it to clean it however.

I really don't know what to say. Mine works fine. You must be sure to push the rubber cork piece in very securely. It has to be in tight. Then hold the working end of the vacuum plunger down real tight. Depending on how full the bottle is, it takes 4 or 5 pumps to as many as 8 or 10 pumps but it seals perfectly. We have saved wine for 7 to 10 days, many times, and the wine is still very fresh.

The pumper expresses the air out of the wine bottle so that it keeps the wine fresh vs. turning to viniger.

The gas is heavier than air so it blankets the surface of the wine. When you pour the wine, you also pour out the gas and must recharge for additional storage.

Janet, to my knowledge, this aerator or any is designed for red wines. I have traveled both domestically and abroad and have noted that red wines are aerated and white wines are simply opened and left to breathe. But ya know what, I say experiment and see if there is a difference. I can certainly attest to the red wine when using the aerator. Good gosh, I know people who put ice in their beer, using an aeroator on a white wine doesn't sound so bad... Hope that helps your decision in this purchase, I know it works on reds... - John

The device itself does not set the temperature. You add ice and water and then select the type of wine you want to chill. The device then starts rotating and activates the waterfall for a set period of time based on your wine selection (ie. chardonnay is longer than a cabernet). I highly doubt (but am not certain) that the device takes into account the temperature of the water or air. There are definitely more advanced wine chillers and wine refrigerators but for my taste as a novice- it works well and is worth the price.

You pump the air out, to preserve the wine. Always pump the air out, prior to storing (after you pour your glass)

DO NOT USE THIS with a vacuum system....the vacuum system will suck the nitrogen, argon and other inert gasses that are in the Private Wine Preservation system out of the bottle, leaving it without any protection from oxidation. Also, from my 30+ years of experience with fine wine collecting, and from a good friend who was the Number One Wine Sommelier in all of France a few years ago, the vacuum systems suck out the oxygen bound molecules within the wine and causes it to loose much of its quality and flavor when next consumed.Enjoy this very practical and functional wine preservation system.....Cheers ! ! !

This product works very well with the sparkling wines. It is not designed nor will it fit on most non-sparkling wine bottles.

I found it didn't make a difference in flavor when compared to an undecanted glass from the same bottle. I also found that it gave a strange odor to the wine. This is made of plastic, not glass, so maybe that's why. I also noticed that the one featured here for red wine is a mini size in the picture, not the full sized one with the stand.

The Vinara Wine aerator is of a slightly different design than the Vinturi. It seems to work similarly and as well as the Vinturi. The plastic body is of two parts glued together. The glue failed on ours and I will have to find a suitable glue to use to reassemble it.
