What is decanting? Decanting is putting the contents of a wine
bottle into another receptacle (the decanter) before serving. It makes
a great deal of a difference when you want to get the best of your wine.
Decanting maximizes the flavor of the wine by increasing the oxygenation of the fine wine. The wine is aerated when you pour the wine into the decanter and while the wine is resting in the decanter it is continuing to breathe letting the wine mellow and enhance it flavor and bouquet. Even inexpensive wine will gain flavor when decanted. Decanting is also a sign of respect for old wines and a sign of confidence
in young wines.
How to choose a wine decanter? A clear, crystal decanter allows
you to see the wine at its best; overly decorated or colored decanters
obscure the wine. Moreover, just as with your stemware, be sure that
your decanter is spotless and free from any musty cupboard aromas. Rinse
it with mineral water to remove any residual chlorine odor. And never
clean your decanter with detergent, because the shape of a decanter
makes it very difficult to get the soapy residue out. Instead, use Riedel decanter cleaning beads -- they'll remove any residual
wine without leaving behind any aroma of their own. Remember, is time
to unwind.
