the vinturi !

o.k. I admit, this gizmo appeals to my engineer self.
better cab through techno-aeration?

the idea is to accelerate the process of aeration. according to the folks at vinturi an undependent double blind taste test has established that...

"the same bottle of wine treated with vinturi was higher in overall flavor intensity and mouthfeel...higher in red color intensity and overall aroma intensity...more true to type and of higher quality."

the vinturi has attracted a considerable following including:

w. blake gray at the san francisco chronicle

i haven't tried it myself, but it is intriguing, and marketed with all of the sex appeal of the iphone.

check out the web site at vinturi.com.

one concern...this kind of reminds me of those "tornado" fuel saver infomercials. is this a $40 placebo or the real deal?
