Do you have a video or more details about the 4-way taste testing of the different wine aerators?

Hi Jonathan,

Yes- here's a link:

I find something interesting about this video review. It has a lot of similar lines and scripting as a similar video that is posted on their website. I'm not crying foul here, but it just seems like they are a little too similar. The product seems interesting, but between this video posting, and the one at winesoiree.com, I'd be sure to do some further investigating and see if you can't try one before you buy one at your local wine store.

Hi Patrick,

First off, thanks for watching my review and for taking the time to leave a comment.

I can't tell for sure which video on winesoiree.com you're referring to since there are several videos on their site. If there are similarities between my review and someone else's, it's probably because we followed a basic review format whereby we describe how the product is supposed to work according to the manufacturer's claims, list some pros and cons and then summarize with whether we'd recommend the product.

It sounds like you may be implying that the reviews you've seen are scripted or paid endorsements. I can assure you that I'm just a regular wine consumer who cares enough about wine to write a wine blog and occasionally review wine accessories. Like other wine accessories I've reviewed, I received the Soiree as a free sample. I disclose that in the review.

My sample policy is laid out here if you'd like to have a look:

Let me know if you have any other questions.
