The Decanting Wine

The Decanting Wine
The Settling
Decanting should be used in two cases: in red wines that have been in bottle for many years and have blurs, and young red wines, which greatly benefit from the aeration that occurs during racking of the bottle into the decanter.
As for white wines, there is no unanimity on the subject. Most connoisseurs see no sense in decant a wine that does not present grounds, whereas some think great whites should be decanted for aeration helps to release the aromas. Personally, I'm with the first group.
The decanter is a crystal bottle. To decant a wine, you should put him up for some time, until the suspended sediment or sludge may sit at the bottom of the bottle. Then poured gently - but only once - the wine bottle into the decanter, lighting up the neck of the bottle with a candle, in order to verify that the sludge is following the decanting wine and do not allow happen. Thus, the sludge will be in the bottle as the wine moves to clear the crystal. It should put the empty bottle of wine beside the decanter for one to identify the wine that will be drunk.
