I have used this aerator on about 6 bottles of wine and tried the taste before and after using this product. It works as per description and the spout is great for pouring without drops. The areated wine tastes better than just out of the bottle. I now use it on all wine bottles I open.

The reason I give it 4 and not 5 stars is that the other popular product - Vinturi - which I have also used, areates the wine more than this unit. The other item - Vinturi - aerators more but leaves a lot of mess behind in terms of spills and drops due to the way it is supposed to be used.

I brought one of these home from a recent trip to Napa with my sister. I could tell my husband was skeptical... like, "great... a $20 wine spout," but after we used it a few times, he was totally sold. Now I'm on Amazon to buy them for all of our friends.

PROS:
1) Immediate aerating of your wine. It's like letting the wine breathe in a decanter, only you don't have to wait.
2) No more drips! It's like magic - you pour and absolutely nothing drips or spills.
3) Easy to clean. Just run water through it.
4) It's portable. Unlike a decanter, you can bring this on trips with you.

CONS:
1) Very occasionally, the rubber stopper is tricky to get into some bottles (particularly cheap wine, for some reason). We've always been able to get it in and out, but sometimes it's a bit of a squeeze.

It appears to work as well as the messy venturi, but I have such a hard time removing it from the bottle each time, I only gave 3 stars.

The VinOair Wine Aerator is very easy to use & does not drip or dribble. Totally worth the money. My husband and I have found that it really can make a "good" bottle of wine taste GREAT. And, on those rare occasions when we have leftover wine, the VinOair extends the life of what's left in the bottle. We have, however, found that some wine that is really GREAT to begin with actually does better simply aerating on its own (rather than w/ the VinOair). The fun part is taste testing different bottles with & without the aerator. Buy it. Buy two. I have to order another one for the cabin. . .

I love the convenience and effectiveness of this aerator that I bought one for all my wine drinkers in the family. You can really taste the difference between an aerated glass of wine versus not; it's the equivalent to letting the wine breathe for hours vs. not.

If you like red wine you must have at least one of these. It can make a $9.00 bottle of wine taste GREAT (in most cases). Aerates as you pour and as a bonus a drip-less pour.

I bought this for my father for christmas. He drinks a lot of wine, but I knew he would never use the aerator that you have to hold over the glass. Too many steps, too much clean-up. This may not aerate quite as much as that other device, but it is so easy to use and clean, it will absolutely get used more. You can see (and hear) the bubbles going into the wine, and I definitely noticed a difference in the taste, even if it was slight.

Absolutely worth the price!

This brings out the flavor of the wine. As red wine is suppose to breath, this happens as you poor it. Wish all establishments used it.

OK, I tried it with bottle of the youngest red wine I had. It worked quite well, though I have to say the wines aerated by Venturi were better aerated than what I got with VinOAir. Having said that, the convenience factor of just attaching it to the wine bottle is very attractive compared to holding the aerator in one hand. Quite happy with my purchase. Holding one star back since I'd like VinOAir to perform better.

The VinOair does aerate the wine but not as vigoriously as the more expensive Venturi product.

I judge that additional holes to allow more air to enter the wine flow would be an improvement.
The anti drip spout is a plus over the Venturi which is messy to use and also I found it difficult to pre-judge the amount of wine to pour.
