If you could make the wine you bought taste even better, would you? The answer should be yes! Aerating wine, or exposing wine to air when you pour it, can make your wine taste and smell so much better. Yes, that statement can even apply to the cheap bottle you grabbed on your way out of the liquor store. Aerating your wine with one of the best wine aerators will impress your friends, a date, your boss and even wine snobs.
Wine aerators are either put into your bottle of wine and sit at the top, like an extended pourer, or are handheld. Using an aerator speeds up the process of airing out your wine. If you use a decanter, your wine will need to sit there for at least 30 minutes or more, but with an aerator, you can drink it instantly. Sure, aerators add an extra step to your wine routine and are an extra piece of equipment to rinse out after drinking, but taking that extra step is worth it. And the best part? Aerators are so small and compact, they’re easy to bring anywhere and everywhere, and can easily fit inside your purse.
Start bringing out the natural flavors in your wine and discover that you don’t need to break the bank to drink great wine — you just needed a little extra help from oxygen. There are multiple types of wine aerators below, so you can pick based on your pouring preference.

3. Zazzol Wine Aerator Decanter
The multi-step aerator from Zazzol tries to get the most oxygen to your wine, so it’s tastier when it lands in your glass.

The wine drains through 32 holes before it’s hit with oxygen and travels to your glass. It was carefully designed, so wine stays in the aerator and your glass, and doesn’t spill. The aerator comes with a travel bag, a gift box, a rubber stand, manual and a sense that you’re getting the most out of your wine. It’s also dishwasher safe.
