When Colin and Rachel decided to start a wine blog, they also decided to invest in some aerators. Luckily enough, they didn't have to invest, thanks to some awesome gift purchasing done by Colin's parents.
Wine aerators are nifty, because oftentimes, they open up a wine and make it taste better.
Coming in April, we will be adding a small section to our blog. It will be:
Aerate? Colin - yes, Rachel - no
Simple enough. We may go into detail if we need to.
Our recommendation is to invest in an aerator - you will want two kinds - one for reds, one for whites (you don't want to mix your reds and whites). We use the Vinturi aerators, but we have a bunch of different aerators listed in our Wine a Week Store on amazon. Read the reviews and decide for yourself - but these ones have been wonderful. You just pore the wine in, it goes through within seconds, and voila, aerated wine.
We also recommend for you to taste it yourself - before aeration and after. Some wines will taste better before (usually more expensive bottles) - but most will taste better after. It's really all about your preferences, but they are good to have to freshen up any bottle that is sub-par.
Be on the lookout for this new recommendation in April!
