This video sucks... or at least change the title. It doesn't teach anything about decanting old Bordeauxs. He says nothing about sediment. And did you see the way he poured that wine? It's atrocious! You don't splash an old wine like that into the decanter, and then swirl it around so hard, unless you want it to turn to vinegar in the next fifteen or twenty minutes. Then what does he do... he pours it out into a bucket. How many ways can someone disrespect a wine.
You didn't touch base on decanting to keep sediment out. With a truly old bordeaux, THAT is the reason to decante a bottle. Don't give those old wines too much air or they'll disappear on the nose and pallet before you're done drinking it.
You can drink the dredges from Burgundy but the dredges of Bordeaux is nasty stuff.
I've never really taken the time to decant my wine, but it seems like decanting older wines is pretty important. I have a few bottles of Bordeaux in the cellar, and I'm glad I watched this before cracking them open!
Decanting cheap wine is actually a good idea as well. At worst, it will make it taste "average", however if you're lucky, you may be able to make a 10$ bottle taste like a 35$ bottle.
Arod - I'd call this "single service" decanting. If you will be consuming most if not all shortly thereafter - of course decant all! I have a nice Riedel and a single serving depending on the occassion - if we are doing a tasting with maybe just two people I will utilize something like the Soiree, but most of the time I decant the whole bottle to let it all breathe.
This video really did NOT explain how to decant a wine. Does this guy just like to see himself on video or is he an actual sommelier?

Absolute rubbish. You should study up on the how/why before you attempt to teach others.

I opened an old bottle of Riuniti and I found it tasted like cheesed feet, caramel farts. and breast milk.

Also, you don't tip the botle over so quickly and let it gulp air. I serve wine every day in a fine restaurant. Who is this guy?

They do the same thing as wine decanter. whisky can sit in the bottle a long time - - and sometime letting it breathe more is in your best interest.
