Wine Decanter
Wine Decanter Question?
My husband and I received a wine decanter for our wedding. We both love to drink wine, but do not understand how a decanter is used. I know it allows the wine to breathe, and all that good stuff…but how far in advance are you supposed to put the wine into the decanter? Can you pour it in there and leave it in there all the time…or only like before you plan on drinking it or something like that? Please help! Thanks!
As for wine you would pour the wine into the decanter on the day (1-2 hours prior to use) of use (clearity/clean wine). Whites which should only be chilled and not ice cold really do not need a decanter other than as a presentation method. Reds (not all) need to breath as to allow tannins to mellow and other flavors/aromas form.
Long storage (days) in the decanter will deminish the wine quality.
Yes to what Rob is saying in addition many Ports fall into such a catagory. They have a black tar-like precipitate that is avoide/discarded by decantation.
