Without a doubt the most popular kind of wine decanter set is the Vinturi Wine Aerator. There are several other popular brands available such as the Riedel decanters that real show off a beautiful table and bottle of red wine.

If you are looking for a nice gift idea for a home bar of a wine enthusiast that is already complete with a wine glass set, nice wine rack then we would recommend the Vinturi Red Wine Aerator. What do they do? Simply put, they make the wine taste better. The idea behind them is to mix oxygen with the wine as an enhancer aerator that even snobbish wine experts claim it improves the wine.

If you ever have the chance to try one, the difference between the taste of wine that has been poured through the aerator versus a taste from the same bottle that was poured directly into the glass is quite noticeable. This is not to say it will make a cheap or poor wine magically into a good wine. Rather it will take a wine of any quality and mix it with air. You may have heard the expression upon opening a bottle of wine to "let it breathe" before serving. The Vinturi wine aerator is the same idea only it takes it a step further and does a remarkably good job.

Riedel Decanters

This wine decanter aerator has a specially shaped bottom to help the sediment separate in red wine. Like other decanters it also helps the wine come into contact with air thus enhancing its bouquet.

Use it after opening a bottle of older red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon. Let the wine be still for a while for the sediment to collect at the bottom then serve. The wide opening on top makes it practical to clean after each use.

Made out of famous Riedel crystal, this is a high quality item that is appropriate as an elegant gift. Riedel is a famous and premium brand, some decanters can cost $400 and are quite beautiful in design and overall shape. Can you use the Vinturi Aerator and the Riedel Decanter together? Yes, they take a different approach to the same goal of wine enjoyment. You could consider giving both of them together as a gift set.
