Product Description
The subtle taste nuance of a fine red wine only comes out when the wine is thoroughly oxidized. This is easily and elegantly taken care of by the Nuance Wine Finer. In just 30 seconds you can decant a whole bottle of red wine while pouring it into the glasses. The elegant pourer filters out all sediments, pieces of cork and tartar, while a rushing sound of bubbles gives evidence of the efficient oxidizing process. The drip catcher ensures that not a drop is spilled instead the wine runs back into the bottle. A small close-fitting lid keeps any leftover wine fresh for later use. A beautiful, simple and multifunctional pourer, that completely means you never have to apologize that the wine was not uncorked before the guests arrived.

I love this wine finer by Nuance. It's completely functional and it looks beautiful in the bottle. I love that it allows the wine to breath and it's a non-spill spout - so no more cloth around the neck or on the table to clean up spills. I own this product and have given it as a gift. Nuance has wonderful products. They're sleek, beautiful, well-designed and practical.

Several advantages over the Vinturi--but still no miracle wine improver
March 13, 2011
A while back I bought and reviewed the Vinturi, and concluded that it only improved 5-10% of wines. It is also something of a hassle to use, and so I've only used it with wines that I thought really needed the aeration. More recently I received this item as a gift. As an aerator it performs much like the Vinturi, and I'll repeat what I had to say about for the Vinturi at the end of this review. First, though, the differences.
Unlike the Vinturi, which you use between the bottle and glass, the Wine Finer goes into the bottle and serves as a pourer as well as an aerator. This is far more convenient than the Vinturi. You do need to be sure you have it seated firmly to avoid dripping. But when properly seated it pours about as well as the round disks you roll and slip into the bottle; it does have the advantage of having a plug to seal it, so you can stop a bottle without removing the Wine Finer. It also has a built in filter, which is more convenient than the filter you can insert into the Vinturi. So I find myself using this more than I ever used the Vinturi, even if I don't expect it to do much with the wine.
As for aeration ... I'll repeat what I wrote about the Vinturi:
Does it make the wine taste better? That depends on whether the wine is enhanced by the aeration. For wines with aging potential that aren't yet at their full potential, some air can help. Some "big" wines need air when they are "released" from the bottle. On the other hand, more delicate wines or wines on the downside of their peak can be hurt by aeration.
Most mid-level wines released today are designed to be ready to drink right out of the bottle when they hit the market. They are seldom much enhanced by aeration. And poorly made wines aren't going to be fixed by this device.
In my experience about 5-10% of wines actually benefit form this gizmo. And I won't use it with a really good wine--for those you should plan enough time in advance to let them breath in the bottle or decanter.
In summary, there are times when it helps, but it is not going to provide a daily improvement in the wines you drink, nor magically fix the clunkers.
The Wine Finer has the same limitations as the Vinturi when it comes to improving wines. But it is much more convenient to use, and serves other purposes. That makes it a more useful gadget, and one that is easier to recommend.

America's Test Kitchen happens to be one of my favorite cooking shows. They reviewed a group of wine aerators and said this one was the best.
So, I ordered it. It is simple and very easy to use. I am glad I followed their advice.
It does exactly what it says it will do with no effort on my part. I couldn't be happier.

We do like it. We think it makes the wine taste better. It might all be in our heads, though.!

must have
The best thing ever. I actually bought 3 of them for good friends. My sisters all have them as well. It's great as a bottle stopper if you can't finish the bottle of wine. Read more

Best aerator I've used yet!
This is a great product. I've been using it for over two months now, with multiple bottles of wine. I haven't had a single problem with it not fitting or splashing or falling out.

I love my red wine and this gadget definitely comes in handy! I chose it because of a review I read in Cook's Illustrated. I am not disappointed!

Brilliant and subtle
Don't have to hold it over a glass. Isn't some giants plexiglass insert sticking out of the top of a wine bottle. Does the job of an a decanter directly into your glass.

No drips...yes, aeration...maybe
I bought 3 of these; 2 as gifts and one for us. I was able to use ours over the holidays. As far as its claim to be dripless, I can vouch for this. Read more
