Ep 161
Think decanting is only for expensive red wine? You might be missing out on getting more from wines you already own.
Most wine drinkers associate decanters with fancy restaurants, aged Bordeaux, and special occasions. But the reality is that decanting can benefit everything from an older red to certain white wines and even an affordable bottle from the grocery store. In this episode, we dive into where the decanting myth came from and what decanting actually does to your wine.
You'll learn the two main reasons for decanting, the science behind evaporation and oxidation, how sediment forms in both red and white wines, and how long different styles of wine should spend in a decanter. You'll also discover when decanting can improve a wine and when it's better to skip it altogether.
So if you've ever wondered whether decanting is worth the effort or just another wine ritual, this episode will help you decide when it can genuinely improve what's in your glass.
