Survive Wedding Season just participated in a wine tasting Bachelorette Party in Northern California’s Wine Country. During the trip we not only sipped some amazing wines, but we also discovered a new (to us) idea for an engagement present - or wedding gift - for under $50. The Vinturi Wine Aerator.

The Vinturi Wine Aerator is a useful, sophisticated and good-looking bar accessory that is perfect for a couple of wine enthusiasts and in-home entertainers or a couple that on occasion has wine with dinner. The aerator encourages the wine to develop to its fullest body potential by helping it instantly breathe, glass by glass. It’s faster than a decanter and can be used on the spot.

All you have to do is place the aerator above your wine glass and then pour the wine directly into the aerator. Viola! You are ready to start drinking…and gifting.

Where To Buy:

Wine.com: $39.99*

Crate & Barrel: $39.95

We figure most of you shop C&B for registry gifts so you could go this way too.

Amazon.com: $31.58 & free shipping

Also available on Amazon.com for $59.99 & free shipping: the Vinturi Red & White Wine Essential Aerator Decanting 2pc Set.

* If you buy the Vinturi via Wine.com may we also recommend picking up some Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc 2008 from Marlborough, New Zealand.

The Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc is an affordable white wine that goes great on its own on a hot summer night or paired with either chicken or fish. Price per bottle ranges from $13.99 to $19.99.

Brides and Grooms: still deciding on what wine you are serving at your wedding? This Sauvignon Blanc is bound to make your guests happy. Guests: this bottle also makes for a great engagement gift. Parents of the Groom: perhaps this is what to serve at your Rehearsal Dinner? Survive Wedding Season™ thinks everyone should say “I Do” to Kim Crawford!
