Wine aeration is the act of exposing wine to air using wine pourer / wine aerators. Oxygen is infused into the wine during the aeration process. Aeration allows wine to breath and open up. This brings out its full character. Wine aeration also enhances the aroma, bouquet and flavor of the wine.
Two types of compounds found in wine are sulfides and sulfites. Sulfide compounds occur naturally in wine. Sulfides can smell like sulphur. Sulfite compounds are added to wine. These sulfites prevent it from turning an undesirable color (think sliced avocados). Sulfites can smell like burnt matches. Evaporation of these two compounds occur during the wine aeration process. This allows aromatic and flavorful notes to come through.
Different types of wine aerators can do the trick. However, attaching an all-in-one wine pourer / wine aerator to the bottle makes the process much more simple. This type of wine pourer / aerator is extremely effective. Specially-designed air intake holes mix just the right amount of oxygen into the wine. These all-in-one wine pourer / wine aerators are extremely convenient. They also work beautifully as a wine pourer with either red or white wines.
Wine pourer / wine aerators forged from stainless steel are much more durable than those made with plastic or glass. Devices made with anything other than stainless steel can easily break. Lifestyle-theme aerators such as a shamrock, golf club head, or adorable animal shapes are extremely effective. This type of aerator also adds pleasure and fun to wine pouring and wine aeration.
Stainless steel wine pourer/ wine aerators make great wine gifts for wine lovers. They are perfect for hard-to-buy-for folks on your holiday gift-giving list. Choose a stainless steel wine pourer/ aerator for yourself. You will wonder how you ever drank wine without it.
