How To DECANT WINE Like A Pro: 3 Things You Need To Know! (Nerd Lab)

Why do we decant wine, which wines need decanting, and how do we do it? We'll answer all these questions and more in this V is for Vino Nerd Lab! The truth is that almost any wine can benefit from decanting, albeit for different reasons. The two main reasons we decant are to introduce air to the wine (technically called caraffing) and separate sediment from the wine that formed over time. Usually, young tannic wines or old wines with sediment in them benefit most from decanting, but some full-bodied whites can also! Decanting properly means emptying the bottle into the decanter, and stopping before the sediment pours in. Then you wait! Usually, an hour is a fair amount of time for a wine to open up, but it may be more or less, depending on the wine.
