I need help! I found this cool vinturi wine aerator at Red Envelope for my mom and stepdad! They are so hard to shop for, but they love wine so I think this would be a cool gift. But...you have to choose between red and white. I'm thinking red, but I don't which one they drink more of. Thoughts?

I would go with red, I find most people prefer it over white.

If they drink both then I don't think you can go wrong with either one. I'm a red wine drinker so I vote for that!

Can you share a link? I'm looking for one for a friend! Thanks!

I love white.... but it seems like the more I talk to people... the more they are red lovers... I would go with red

It's an aerator? As in it does the job of a decanter (allowing the wine to "air") without involving a decanter? In that case, I'd definitely go with the red option. Red wine is more in need of a decanter than white is.

Also another wine aerator that is less expensive.

I agree with this. Most whites, except for your super expensive bottles of white Burgandy that you might age, don't need much air compared to red. I'd definitely go with the red.

I think the majority of wine "entusiasts" probably lean red.

Lopo · December 2010

They also have the Vinturi at Brookstone. I think I'd go there because if my parents already have one, they can return it to the store.

Is there a difference in the way it aerates? They look the same except white or black bands around them. We have the one with the black band to aerate our wine, and mostly use it for red, but it wouldn't be a catastrophe if it was used once and awhile for the white.

Check out other sites too, they can be found everywhere, including Bed Bath and Beyond.

Red, Whites don't need to be aerated. From personal experience aged reds sometimes can take a little while after being poured to "open up". I have never had to have a white be decanted, aerated or strained for sediment.

This is what I was thinking but I wasn't positive until now.

Definitely red as pp's mentioned. We got ours last Christmas and love it. We also have a decanter for more expensive wine. We typically use the vinturi on less expensive bottles to give them a smoother taste. You can also find it at Crate & Barrel and Bed, Bath & Beyond ( 20% off coupon). Not sure if it's valid where you live, but Groupon is selling some kind of 50% off coupon for Red Envelope today. I got the email this morning, but didn't bother to open it. Hope this helps.
