Meet the Essential

The Aervana Essential is the newest addition to the Aervana one-touch aeration line, providing the same amazing instant aeration for wines that need to breathe, in a fresh, contemporary format for everyday wine drinkers.

Enjoy aerated wine by the glass with no need to aerate the whole bottle. With an all-new, fresh look, our paired-down, glossy-white finish is perfect for any kitchen. Designed with a stainless-steel button and dispensing spout, the Essential is high-quality and long-lasting.

Aerating wine so that you can enjoy its fullest flavor isn’t just for the die-hards anymore; the Aervana Essential doubles as a personal tap and wine aerator, making it fun and easy to get that much more from every glass.

We do aeration differently

Simply attach the single tube that accompanies the Aervana Essential to the body of the aerator, slip the Essential over an open wine bottle, and press the button on top.

It’s amazing what a little air can do to bring out the best flavors of a wine that’s been trapped in its bottle. The Essential infuses your wine with air as it’s being dispensed, creating the same effect as would exposing a wine to air naturally for about an hour.

Wine experts agree: many wines, especially younger, red wines, taste smoother and more balanced after “breathing.” The Essential transforms your wine instantly while leaving the rest of the bottle undisturbed.

Wine aeration 101

Why we aerate wine

You know when you open a new bottle of wine, taste it, and experience a bit of a bitter, astringent taste, drying out your mouth? That’s caused by the tannins in your wine that occur naturally in the skin and stems of the grapes. Age can help soften tannins, and so can aeration— especially in younger wines where the tannic effect may overwhelm the other flavors and aromas in your wine.

The Aervana difference

Aervana Essential infuses air into wine as it’s dispensed, providing the oxygen needed to soften those tannins and other less favorable compounds (like sulfites, sulfides, and ethanol) associated with many red wines, allowing you to better taste the key characteristics of your wine.

Will it work with white wines?

While Aervana Essential will dispense any wine, it really shines in its ability to aerate the wines that can benefit from aeration. Therefore, some wine varietals— especially those that are bold, tannic, or young – will be smoothed by the Essential, revealing more of the wine’s true flavors and aromas. Red wine varietals more typically benefit from aeration; however, some white wine varietals, like Burgundies and white Bordeauxs, can benefit from aeration.

Wine varietals that work well with Aervana Essential

Bordeaux blends, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Mourvédre, Nebbiolo, Nero D’Avola, Petit Verdot, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Tannat, Tempranillo, Touriga Nacional, some Malbec, some Pinot Noir.

Hear the Aervana story

What happens when a wine buff dad and his somm-to-be daughter get together and start tasting wines? Well, a lot of things. They’ll open up more bottles than the whole family gathered could possibly expect to drink; they’ll have it out over their favorite wine regions and grape varietals; they’ll talk for hours about what they noticed in a glass that surprised them.

And, for Lou— a product developer by trade— those nights exploring wine and thinking through ways to improve the wine experience with his daughter were the beginning of the path towards Aervana. As he and Eliza, now a restaurant wine director in NYC, stayed up nights sharing stories and impressions over wine, they realized properly aerating the wines that needed it tended to interrupt and distract from the wine experience.

When they came across bottles of young, tannic, red wine—wines that needed a bit of air before showcasing their full flavors and aromas—they found that current aerators tended to distract from the wine experience, either by delaying their spontaneous taste tests, or by adding mess and inconvenience to an otherwise straight-forward process.

Luckily, in this case, a problem came together with passion and expertise. Lou was able to spend five years testing and developing our flagship product, the Aervana Original wine aerator— simplifying aeration while doing it well. The Aervana Original is the first-ever aerating product to aerate and dispense wine simultaneously, with just the push of a button. Each product in the core Aervana Aeration Line— the Aervana Essential, Aervana Original, and Aervana Select— shares this same key, game-changing design while including unique features appealing to wine drinkers of all styles and budgets.

While Aervana seamlessly and effectively aerates the wines that need it, you can go back to enjoying the wine experience with the folks you love.
