Vinturi and the Somerset House Film Nights
Posted on | August 25, 2010 | No Comments
Picture this: it’s a beautiful summer evening in London, and you and your significant other/bestest buddy/favourite family member are snuggled under a blanket, watching a classic film on a huge, outdoor screen. Sounds like the stuff dreams are made of….until you realise that the bottle of red wine you’ve brought with you tastes rubbish because it hasn’t had time to breathe (and quite frankly, you’re too impatient to wait). For many who have headed along/will be heading along to one of the screenings at Somerset House this August, this is all too familiar a scenario. Well, dearest Vinturi fan, this dilemma is a thing of the past, with the beautifully light and portable Vinturi being perfect picnic-size for this occasion, and others, during which you might fancy a nice bit of red wine. Why not be the envy of other punters, as well as adding a touch of class to your picnic, and take your Vinturi along with you this year-careful though, you’ll have to keep a watchful eye on it.Connect with Vinturi on Facebook

These days, in order to be anyone who’s anyone, one must write about one’s self all over the internet, listing one’s hobbies, interests, relationship status, and posting pictures of one doing embarrassing things. Yes, dear reader, Facebook is the only place to be, and creating yourself a stylish and interesting profile is of utmost importance, to make one seem to be these things, and more. While most of your friends are probably attempting to do this by joining lots of mafia gangs, buying animals and looking after them in their farm, or maybe just getting their pals to take lots of pics of them at social events so they’re ‘tagged’, like, loads, you needn’t waste your time. The way to up your suave, sophisticated look for your profile is very simply this: become a fan of the Vinturi page, and receive updates, latest news and feel in touch with the world of wine aerators. What could be better than that? All you need to do is search for us in the little white box at the top of your homepage, and we’ll magically appear. It’s up to you whether you invite your friends to join the club, or maybe just keep your new favourite pastime to yourself…
Things that can spoil the Vinturi experience: Part 2
Posted on | July 28, 2010 | No Comments
Following last week’s blog detailing a number of factors that can essentially ruin your “me time”, as you settle down on the sofa after a hard day’s work, and let your significant other bring you (we hope) a glass of your favourite red. They seem like small things, but trust us; here at Vinturi our precious relaxation periods need to be as good as they can be, as they don’t come round often enough. This week we bring you a couple more things you can prevent from happening whilst, and during the time surrounding, drinking your wine.Things that can spoil the Vinturi experience: Part 1
Posted on | July 14, 2010 | No Comments
When you’re settling down with a glass of your favourite red, or indeed any other wine that might suit your tastes a little better, there are a number of factors that need to be considered in order to make your experience tip-top and 100% pleasurable…of course, it may be a little tricky to figure out what these are, so we at Vinturi are here to help in our new two-part blog. Once you read this, you’ll wallow in wine-savouring bliss forever…Brilliant reasons to stay in with a glass of Red
Posted on | June 30, 2010 | No Comments
Given the sporadic and unpredictable nature of the weather that the UK has shown us over the past few weeks, we’re not sure we’re in for a good ride this summer….pity, really, as we’d been fantasising about long summer evenings in the garden and in the pub, beautiful golden tans, and floaty summer dresses. If, like us here at Vinturi HQ, you’re a little sceptical about the whole “BBQ summer prediction”, why not plan to curl up on the sofa and pay respect to the trashy TV gods, whilst sipping on a lovely glass of red. To enhance this experience, here are our top telly recommendations:Vinturi and your Wimbledon Picnic
Posted on | June 23, 2010 | No Comments
It’s one of those British institutions that will simply never get old- the strawberries and cream, the sunburnt noses, the cheering for the British hopefuls, and of course the champers. Maybe this year you’re thinking of mixing up your Wimledon-bound picnic, for you and your chums to enjoy whilst watching the tennis, and are considering swapping the beverage of choice to something that doesn’t require huge amounts of refrigeration, thus reducing the weight of your luggage considerably. Come the end of June, dust off the old bottles of red wine you’ve got hiding in a cellar, and bring them along to the grassy dales (small bumps that could barely be called hills) of South West London, and amaze your friends with your handy, easily portable Vinturi, which will bring out the flavours and aromas of your wine, instantly. That means no waiting around while Andy runs up and down the court, oh no. You’ll be happily sipping away quicker than you can say, “Darn, that Federer isn’t half bad, is he?”.Vinturi says goodbye to Last of the Summer Wine
Posted on | June 9, 2010 | No Comments
There are few television shows nowadays that can say they’ve been going for years, and have retained a level of popularity with generation after generation, keeping bums of sofas for decades. One of these particular institutions, a well-loved British comedy, Last of the Summer Wine, really is reaching the end of its bottle (ok, it’s a rubbish analogy, but you get the idea). This autumn, we’ll be saying a sad farewell to the residents of Holmfirth, a rural country village in West Yorkshire, who have been on our screens since 1973- that makes the programme the world’s longest running sit-com.Nibbles to go with your red wine
Posted on | May 26, 2010 | No Comments
You’ve probably guessed by now that we at Vinturi love a spot of wine. And let’s face it, if you’re settling with a glass of rich red, beautifully aerated with your Vinturi, then you really need something to nibble on, maybe to whet the appetite before dinner, or even just to take the edge off the urge to munch. Of course, choosing said nibbles is a delicate art, and needs to be done with care and precision- otherwise it could all go horribly wrong. So this week, we present to you, beloved blog reader, our favourite snacks that go with wine, as voted for by the Vinturi team:Five reasons to buy a Vinturi wine aerator
Posted on | February 15, 2010 | No Comments
If you’re considering buying a Vinturi wine aerator, but are as yet undecided, why not take a look at some of the most popular reasons for buying one:
Firstly, and most importantly, if you enjoy wine then you will love this product. It is a well known fact that wine tastes better for ‘breathing’, which means that the wine is aerated. This is exactly what the Vinturi wine aerator does in a fraction of the time it would take if decanted and left to stand.
Secondly, if you enjoy holding dinner parties and want to impress your guests, this is a sure fire way to do so. Not only will your guests be impressed by your aparent wine knowledge, but also by the stylish and elegant presentation of the Vinturi at the dining table.
Thirdly, if you’re serious about your wine, and enjoy tasting new wines and really savouring the flavours and bouquet, then this is an invaluable tool to own. Explore the wine regions of the world in more depth from the comfort of your own home, or perhaps organize a wine tasting event with friends.
Fourthly, if you appreciate the joys of wine but are often short on time, then this is the perfect time-saving device. Forget about waiting an hour for the wine to breathe and flavours to develop, and simply open and pour.
Lastly, if you enjoy wine but are concerned about interfering with the wine, you can rest assured that the Vinturi wine aerator uses no artificial chemicals or tricks, but rather uses nothing more than the forces of nature itself. A clever design simply increases the velocity of the wine as it passes through a chamber, whilst reducing the pressure, giving rise to the Vinturi effect, which results in the drawing in of air.

Wine tasting – a simple guide
Posted on | February 8, 2010 | No Comments
If you’ve bought a Vinturi wine aerator, you may already be fairly knowledgeable about wine. However, we know that a significant number of our clients who buy a Vinturi are also interested in learning more about wine, so have prepared some simple guides to go through the basics, starting with the art of wine tasting.
Wine is of course meant to be drunk and enjoyed, first and foremost. However, learning how to taste a wine will enhance your experience enormously, as you discover there is more to wine than perhaps first meets the eye. All you need to get started are your chosen bottle of wine, some suitably shaped wine glasses and a room with good light.
Once the wine has been poured into the glass, using your Vinturi, of course, you can take a good look at it. If you hold the glass against a white background, such as a wall or piece of paper, and tilt the glass away from you at a 45º angle, you will be able to see the colour most clearly. Red wines will have a range of colours from the light ruby reds of a young pinot wine to the darker richer reds of a Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon blend, for example. The darker colours represent the fuller flavoured wines. If you look at the meniscus (the edges) of a red wine, you can tell how old it is by the amber brown tinge.
The next sense to be brought into play is smell. Well designed wine glasses capture the aroma of a wine and funnel it towards your nose. Red wines usually have a larger bowl, but all wine glasses follow the same design principles. Simply swirl the wine in the glass to release the bouquet, and put your nose into the glass to savour it.
Once you’ve luxuriated in the look and smell of your wine, you will be psychologically and physiologically primed to taste it. Take a mouthful of wine and swish it around your mouth for about 20 seconds, breathing as you do so to introduce more oxygen into the liquid. This will fill your mouth with the flavours of the wine, and allow the different taste receptors in your tongue to pick up on the various elements within the wine. Whether or not you spit the wine at this point is your choice, and will usually depend on how many wines you taste in one session.
