Another wine aeration device. While similar to the Rabbit device recently reviewed, (single handed operation, .etc), I tend to think this one works slightly less well, hence the slightly lower grade. On the plus side: Sleek black and silver design (a bit Art Deco in appearance), single handed operation, includes a stopper (but not sure how much that is needed), stainless steel tube on the inside, rubberized exterior to hold the stopper in the bottle while pouring, and a metal mesh to help keep any debris from falling into your glass. On the minus side: it works much like the Menu aerator reported on here. Both are somewhat passive devices in that the air is mixed but not aggressively. The Menu device mixes the air and wine right a single junction but the Nuance tends to be along it's entire length (about 4 inches.) Both will aerate a wine, but not like either the Vinturi or Rabbit Pourer. A better choice might be:

Editorial Review: Product Description: The Nuance Wine Finer (a 4-in-1 wine accessory) is the ultimate decanting experience. Uncork your bottle, insert the Wine Finer and pour. As you pour, this ingenious tool works to aerate the wine and also filter any unwanted sediment or cork fragments as the wine runs through strategically placed holes in the side of the Finer. The drip-free spout prevents any wine lost due to spills while the handy cap allows you to reseal that bottle for enjoyment later. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - It really makes a difference!My wife and I performed a blind taste test on some red wine that really needs to breathe a considerable amount of time to develop full flavor - there is a noticable difference between wine aerated with this pourer and wine just poured from the bottle. After allowed to breathe for 45 minutes, wine poured from the bottle and wine aerated with this pourer are not noticably different - quite an impressive time-saver! The pourer also allows precise pouring with no drips and makes a cool gurgling sound ...

It's so small and portable that taking it with me on trips in my suitcase is no problem. It enables me to thoroughly enjoy a bottle of red wine in my hotel room. And the device also functions with a dripless pour, so no more drippy bottles. I'm very happy with my purchase. Rating: - Enhanced wineThis product actually enhances wine-either an older wine that is near the end or an inexpensive wine. I've even tried it on whites and it has done the job. Easy to clean and easy to use. Make a nice gift for a wine lover. Rating: - it make a differencewe did several taste tests with $10-40 bottles. if it's a good bottle of wine, this devise does allow the wine to "open up" faster Rating: - Wine AeratorAmerica's Test Kitchen happens to be one of my favorite cooking shows. They reviewed a group of wine aerators and said this one was the best. So, I ordered it. It is simple and very easy to use. I am glad I followed their advice. It does exactly what it says it will do with no effort on my part. I couldn't be happier.
