Manufacturer details
VINTURI
A handheld aerator for pouring a glass at a time, when you want to explore what air adds.
For: curious red-wine drinkers
Pour through the aerator over a glass to introduce air. The stand gives it a home between pours. Aeration is a preference, not a requirement for every wine.
Manufacturer details
RABBIT
An in-bottle alternative to a handheld aerator that combines pouring and aeration.
For: serving several glasses
The spout sits in the bottle while you pour, keeping one hand free. Choose this or the handheld Vinturi according to how you prefer to serve; you do not need both.
