#WINE AERATOR GLASS MANUAL#

With an MSRP of $60, the Aervana is competitively priced among other electric wine aerators. We were fine doing this, but if you’re someone who likes to make sure everything is 100 percent clean, you may be frustrated by the lack of direct access to the aerator’s pump. Instead of taking it apart, you could also fill an empty wine bottle with water and use it to flush out the aerator. You can still wash it out with water, but you have to be careful and avoid getting the battery compartment wet. The first can easily be cleaned out with water and a small cleaning brush (like those for reusable straws), but the aerator is a little trickier to clean. There are two pieces you’ll need to clean: the tube and the aerator which houses the unit’s internal pump. If you’re drinking multiple bottles of wine in a night and you don’t want to cross contaminate, a thorough clean will be in order. The major benefit of this wine aerator is its obviously its one-touch functionality, but with six batteries inside, you can’t just stick it under a faucet to clean it.

#WINE AERATOR GLASS MANUAL#

Its easy, one-touch functionality is simple enough for guests to figure out and unlike manual aerators, there’s less potential for mess. While it’s simple enough to use for a nightly post-work drink, we think it makes the perfect party companion. There isn’t much set up involved with the Aervana, so you can get to enjoying your glass quickly. It had a smoother overall taste, but the biggest difference was in the aftertaste which mellowed out enough to lose its bitter edge.Įase of Use: Quick setup and good for parties After tasting both our control wine and aerated wine a few times, we concluded that there was a definite change in taste and we preferred the aerated glass. We were surprised when our wine came out much faster than anticipated and because of the high-speed pour, we were left with a lot of air bubbles. With our wine glass placed under the spout, we pressed the button and waited to see what would happen. This proved extremely simple and we found it fit snuggly. We filled our control glass with non-aerated wine and then attached the aerator to the top of the bottle. While six batteries feels like a lot, the manual promises they’ll last 250 bottles before needing to be replaced.Īfter taking care of the battery situation, we uncorked our wine and got ready to complete our test.

Fortunately, we had six AAAs sitting unused in a drawer but if you don’t have any, make sure you pick them up ahead of time. Just note that the aerator doesn’t come with batteries.

Since the aerator is electric, it’s powered by batteries-so you don’t have to do anything other than press a button and wait. The tube attaches to the aerator and then the whole thing attaches to the top of your wine bottle via a rubber stopper. The Aervana is comprised of two pieces: a long tube and the actual aerator. The biggest difference was in the aftertaste which mellowed out enough to lose its bitter edge.
