To breathe or not to breathe?

Decanter and glassesof wine

The bottom line

The next time you're opening a bottle of wine, pour a small glass and take a sniff and a sip. Now pour the wine (bottle and glass) into a decanter. Leave it for 30 minutes, and taste it again. Did you notice a difference? And did you like the decanted wine better? If the answer to both questions is yes, then you might want to use aeration more often. You wouldn't be alone: many wine professionals do the same.
