We at Vinturi are pretty serious about wine. We appreciate taste, texture and aroma, particularly when we have such a
great gadget to do the aeration for us. Opening a bottle of something delicious is a real treat- but what about the people who work so hard to get it ready for us to drink? It’s hard work keeping and maintaining the vineyard, and keeping the grapes in great condition to make great wine.
The weather is often the owner’s nemesis, with wet conditions bringing risk of disease which can easily spread between crops, and potentially wipe out a year’s hard work. It’s not uncommon for a team of only six or seven workers to be tending to around ninety acres of land, and spraying and pruning tens of thousands of vines by hand. Not for the faint hearted, we’re sure you’ll agree. When the time comes to pick the crop, more workers will be brought in to help out- between fifty and a hundred is an average. Each vine is tasted to determine when it’s ready for harvest, all to make sure we get the very best in our glass.
Our job is the easy part- we just provide the tool, the Vinturi, you need to get the very best flavours from a newly open bottle, without having to wait any longer.

We’ve heard of people doing some silly things in our time, but this little gem we found in the news recently has to be one of the best.
We read of how Mr Michael Dwyer, whilst attempting to burgle a flat in Cambridge, decided to take a little taste of wine from an open bottle he found in the kitchen. On top of the alcohol he had already consumed, Dwyer then promptly fell asleep on the sofa, only for the victim to return home and call the police, who arrived to arrest him.
Of course, we all enjoy a lovely glass of wine at the end of the day to unwind and relax into our evening after work, but we must say that we at Vinturi are totally behind healthy drinking habits, and recommend knowing your limit before you get to the same place that our friend Mr Dwyer did.
Once you’re informed, you can enjoy a beautiful red wine, which has had the opportunity to aerate with the fantastic Vinturi- a hassle free way to allow the natural aromas and flavours in the wine to be experienced at their full.
