Any differences between this and the VinLuxe Wine aerator? Both look and sound the same from their info?

Not much difference at all. It would take a far more serious wine connoisseur than myself to tell. Both smooth out the roughness of a freshly opened bottle and provide instant smoothness to a variety of red wines.

Looks and sounds like the same product to me too. Most likely the same product sold under a different name. I chose to would go with the Zazzol, and I would strongly encourage you to do the same.

Couldn't find VinLuxe aerator on Amazon site, but can highly recommend Zazzol aerator, it truly aerates the wine.

I am sorry but I'm not familiar with the VinLuxe brand wine aerator so I couldn't say.

I compared the Zazzol with pictures of the VinLuxe on Amazon and both seem identical. Since the VinLuxe is not available, the Zazzol would be a fine replacement. And I do mean fine. Cheers.

Synthetic corks are a problem with any wine opener. I find that, due to the lever, on the Brookstone it really pulls them out easier, but some of those things are a BEAR! Saying not to use it on synthetics is probably a disclaimer, because they will eventually stretch any corkscrew of this type, including the electric kind, that has the long, more open spiral, not like the old-school corkscrews, with the two arms , or a wine tool, that have a sturdier, tighter spiral corkscrew. This is why they sell the replacement units that are simple, and inexpensive to replace. The fact is that the lever itself is what makes it easy to remove those buggers! I have a Williams Sonoma one that is very similar that lasted 10 years before I replaced the spiral,, and I use it when I volunteer at my theatre's concession, opening MANY bottles a show, plus fundraisers and concerts and wine tastings as much as 30 nights a year, plus my own use. and there were some of those synthetic corks, that were nearly impossible to remove with anything...I think that is what finally stretched mine. The thing was still useable, but it didn't pull out as smoothly and easily, so I just replaced it, and it works like new. The Brookstone one seems to be a better made piece especially because of the lever handle. The corkscrew pieces themselves are readily available, so I think this opener is a good choice.

In my experience, relatively few white wines really require aeration. Personally, I'd stick with the red.

The obvious differences are the the design, engineering & materials also, I'm guessing, that the size of bottles it can hold too is different too. I was not aware of the original Topeak Cage model, but looks nice and has good reviews, so if your happy with that and adding an extra to your bike, I would stick with matching what you have. That said, I'm happy with look and functionality of the Cage 2.

I think they are the same product, based strictly on my own experience. I was given the spray last year but frankly, I'm too lazy to remember to use it regularly. The diffuser doesn't need my attention so, yay.

I agree with Ruth: the Moscato would not benefit from the aerator. In my experience, all red wines will improve (high end and low end wines) but I haven't found this useful for any white wines.

I think the difference is one is the plug in and the other is the insert with the liquid. But I got the "Comfort Zone with Feliway." That package came with the plug in diffuser and one insert. Then you have to order additional inserts separately, but re-use the diffuser.

RinseWorks makes the Bum Genius sprayers as well as the Aquaus, so they are likely almost identical. There may be slight differences in, say, plastic vs metal parts, but I've seen it said on many reviews/forums that they are the same sprayer.

Janet, to my knowledge, this aerator or any is designed for red wines. I have traveled both domestically and abroad and have noted that red wines are aerated and white wines are simply opened and left to breathe. But ya know what, I say experiment and see if there is a difference. I can certainly attest to the red wine when using the aerator. Good gosh, I know people who put ice in their beer, using an aeroator on a white wine doesn't sound so bad... Hope that helps your decision in this purchase, I know it works on reds... - John

I have both of these humidifiers. They are essentially the same except for a slightly different design. I like the U-31001 better because it's easier to fill. In order to fill them, you have to take the tank off of the unit and turn the tank upside down. With the U-31002, it doesn't lie flat when you do this, so you have to hold/balance the tank with one hand while you fill it with the other. With the U-31001, you just set the tank down because it lies flat to fill it - so it's easier to fill. The U-31001 also has a more adjustable nozzle, so you have more control over where to aim the mist. Other than that, they are pretty identical in form and function.

I assume you mean, "Is there any difference in beverage quality when using this canister compared to the canister that came with the SodaStream." No, there is no difference. You have to also get a brass adapter to use this canister (it is available on Amazon). If you make a lot of fizzy water this method is great - easy refill at any sports store for ~$3!!!

I was a newbie and purchased the Premium kit over one and a half years ago. I don't know the difference between the two however, the Premium Kit still meets all my wine making needs. (Start small and expand as needed.) Best of luck.

No don't know.I bought the winegard fl5500 , more money but didn't want to take the chance. It is a lot cheaper. Very satisfied with the winegard and will be getting another one for the kitchen . They should go on a window though. The frosted one looks the best. Thats the FL 5500 C ----Lee

They appear to have the same features. It looks like it could be a new label for a newer model. I have the wine colored one and I love it. I would recommend it to anyone.

You know, I've only ever aerated red wine. However, I don't see why you couldn't use yours with both. Generally, white wine doesn't need aeration (that's my opinion anyway) but I'm no connoisseur. I say, use it with both. Hope that helps!
