Vinturi Tower

The tower's design makes wine splatter unavoidable. Unless you hand hold the filter device, there isn't much option. I love the filter, and I just commit to rinsing it often and cleaning up my table. I also think the materials are scant and flimsy for the price. I wish there was an alternative. Also be careful when ordering you have to make sure you also order the filter device, the tower doesn't come with the device on the $40 range, even though it is pictured that way on the website.

It splashes, leaks, drips wine everywhere, no matter how slowly you pour the wine in the filter device. Situated under where the wine glass sits, is a mesh circle to catch drips. But its ineffective - by the time you have poured wine through the device, splashes are all over the Tower, all over the base, and also surface of the table. One problems is the height of the Tower, far above the wine glass. Maybe that is part the the airing process? But that creates bouncing droplets as well. In order to actually use this cleanly , you would have to have extremely tall wine glasses. I am disappointed with the ergonomics, But I like the idea of a tower, but not this design. I am tempted to hand hold the device, but that is not a solution. Also, be careful, as you order the tower, online description is mis leading, you need also to order the wine filter device. Which by the way, works great.

Would have been better if one filter was included with original delivery. It does enhance the flavor and helped speed aerating

This is a great product i use this all the time and it does work!

We will use for entertaining at home.

Vinturi aerators are amazing and wonderful, but this Tower is a defective, leaky piece of plastic. Wine spills out of the aerator, down the sides of the tower and onto the counter. I thought I was using in incorrectly but after reading other reviews I can see that this is a chronic problem. I cannot figure out how the company would make an inherently defective produce like this. Wine Enthusiast should warn prospective customers of the defective merchandise being sold.

Our guests have been amzed at the difference it makes in wines - particularly young ones. Glad there is nothing to wear out - we use it several times a week.

My wife bought me the Aerator, but it was clumsy to use. When used with the Vinturi Tower, it's perfect.

Design is not good for average use

We entertain on a regular basis and everyone has been impressed with the aerator - now with the tower it is easier to use. Looking forward to getting a white tower as well

I got the stand because it was always awkward using the venturi by itself. The stand helps alot, but it is not what it should be yet. You still have to watch both the bottle and the glass at the same time or you overfill the venturi which causes spills that the base can't catch. The tower is a single height so if you are using it for stemless glasses it is way too tall and the stream of wine, at the beginning of the pour can go astray and miss the glass. Overall I am glad to have it and use it, but it has a ways to go to before it is a great device.

even in the stand it tends to leak all over

Our daughter got this for us for Christmas along with a case of wine. What a difference it makes in the wine! We did several taste tests. I ordered one for each of my children for their January birthdays.

Product works as advertised.

Very nice stand and it is a must when you have the wine aerator. Perfect when you are just wanting to have a glass of wine.
