Decanting wine

[Ed Pawlowski]

Long ago I learned the benefits of decanting red wine about an hour
before serving. It allows it to breath and improves taste and makes it
smoother.

Over the past few years I got away from it since most times I am cooking
for myself and have a half bottle. Last night I made a nice dinner for
four of us and decanted a bottle of zinfandel ahead of time. Sure made
a difference.

I put the decanter where I see it all the time and will do just a half
bottle for myself in the future. Worth the small effort.

Mine is similar to this. No need to spend a lot of money but you can.

I don't mind adding gin to wine before drinking (about 1 part gin, 2 parts wine).

Sorta of a reverse martini? I could try a splash of wine in gin
martini, but not 2 to 1 as you do. Would rather the wine flavor.

Hold the dry vermouth and olive, yeah? I like the slight anti-sweet kick of gin.

Why would he ignore it? So many people here will jump to correct him
(not you), and that gives him his desired attention.

I have a similar decanter. Used it a lot when I first got it and then
lazy set in. It does make a difference. Wine likes some air to open
up. Also have one of these;

https://www.amazon.com/Vintorio-Wine-Aerator-Pourer-Aerating/dp/B00T1F5CSU

It works pretty well also and you don't have to air the whole bottle if
your not going to consume it all in one sitting. Still don't use it
much. Thanks for the reminder and next red wine I open (probably
tonight) .. will use one of 'em. Zinfandel used to be my favorite
grape, now it's pinot noir. I may head back to zin since pinot has
gotten so expensive even for a middle of the road one. Everything we
buy these days has taken a huge jump in price though.

I have drastically reduced alcohol consumption and have only one glass
of wine. Rather than pouring it into a decanter I just pour a glass of
wine way ahead and let it breathe.

Back in my day, it was Ripple wine with the greatest slogan ever!
"You can't make a splash without a Ripple!"
That great slogan couldn't save the wine. It died in 1984. RIP, you

Half wine and half gin is good because sometimes, wine can have good as well as bad natural tastes. The gin takes care of all of that.

Sometimes a bottle of wine just doesn't turn out how you like. Filling half the glass with gin evens that out.

Legends have it that Chinese illionares drink Chateau Lafite, at
$1000/bottle, with Coka Cola.

The wine is way overpriced but I can believe it.
My favorite wine beverage was cheap, dry white wine mixed half and half
with diet Coke. No kidding.

Half wine and half gin is good because sometimes, wine can have good as well as bad natural tastes. The gin takes care of all of that.

Or you could buy better wine and have the gin separately.

Sometimes a bottle of wine just doesn't turn out how you like. Filling half the glass with gin evens that out.

Yuck.

Heck, just take a couple of good slugs of bad wine and the taste
improves quite a bit.

I don't drink expensive wine at all, but bad wine can't be saved.

Long ago I learned the benefits of decanting red wine about an hour
before serving. It allows it to breath and improves taste and makes it
smoother.
Over the past few years I got away from it since most times I am
cooking for myself and have a half bottle. Last night I made a nice
dinner for four of us and decanted a bottle of zinfandel ahead of time.
Sure made a difference.
I put the decanter where I see it all the time and will do just a half
bottle for myself in the future. Worth the small effort.
Mine is similar to this. No need to spend a lot of money but you can.

I have a similar decanter. Used it a lot when I first got it and then
lazy set in. It does make a difference. Wine likes some air to open
up. Also have one of these;
https://www.amazon.com/Vintorio-Wine-Aerator-Pourer-Aerating/dp/B00T1F5CSU
It works pretty well also and you don't have to air the whole bottle if
your not going to consume it all in one sitting. Still don't use it
much. Thanks for the reminder and next red wine I open (probably
tonight) .. will use one of 'em. Zinfandel used to be my favorite
grape, now it's pinot noir. I may head back to zin since pinot has
gotten so expensive even for a middle of the road one. Everything we
buy these days has taken a huge jump in price though.

This is NOT my frogger.

I have these. I bought them in the Eighties, because I thought they
looked cool. I don't even have a cabinet to showcase them.
My wife consumes a liter of wine every five years, and I drink beer.
I thought they'd impress at the few parties I threw, along with the cool
wine glasses that go with them. I guess they did?
What a waste of money!

You should check, some decanters have really increased in value. If
you don't use them you could sell them and buy beer :)

One of those is a very pretty flat based brandy decanter. The other
could be used for just about anything. Both functional and decorative.
They are not truly "decanting" a bottle of wine.

I have one of those in my booth at the antique mall. Is that what those
are?? Huh, you learn something new every day. Perhaps I can correct
the tag on it, and increase the price from $4 to $5... LOL

Depends on what they are made from. Cut glass is cheap but if crystal,
new they would have sold in the $100+ range.
