#BEST WINE AERATOR POURER PLUS#
All Coravin systems are designed to work with a corresponding shower-style aerator attachment, which is included in the Pivot Plus package.
The latest Coravin release is the Pivot system, which is designed for more casual use with everyday bottles, and can keep wines fresh for up to four weeks after opening-significantly longer than the one or two days that an average bottle might last. The company’s first models revolutionized wine preservation by using a needle and argon gas that allowed the pourer to access wines through the cork rather than remove it.
Here, we explore the best wine aerators on the market with a little help from Frizzell and fellow wine expert Blanca Muro of Bodegas Latúe.Ĭoravin’s wine preservation systems are widely beloved by wine industry professionals and enthusiasts alike. And, of course, there’s no real replacement for the classic decanter presentation: “In a professional setting,” says Frizzell, “if we’re preparing for a more formal tasting, I’ll try to make sure there is time to decant wines, though mostly just for full-bodied reds.” But an aerator does significantly cut down the time it would take a wine to open up in a decanter or glass, making it an extremely useful tool to keep on hand at home. Among professionals, aerators won’t take the place of decanting completely, as some wines (mainly fortified wines and fragile reds) are best opened up carefully in a decanter or glass. Some aerators even do double- or triple-duty as stoppers, preservers, and pour spouts. Aerators, on the other hand, are designed to speed this process along, and introduce oxygen to the wine more rapidly as it’s poured. The mere act of pouring begins the process, and factors like surface area, swirling, and the style of wine will determine how long to decant for.
The most common way to decant a wine is by pouring it into a glass or a decanter and giving it some time to sit while exposed to the air.
