  • I usually just open a bottle and drink it from the bottle :(

  • This is excellent. Keeping the bottle upright, cleaning off the top of the cork with a moist cloth, uncorking with the "ScrewPull", and decanting over one minute with a thin 8" stream are all "right on". I always use an "Ah So" device to help get the old cork out in one piece. We have a substantial stock of 1970 Bordeaux. Our 40 year old wines will be "half" held in the decanter with a nitrogen blast for the next day. The wine holds well that long and may be more interesting.

  • 2 hours before serving? Depending on the room temperature would that not possibly raise the serving temperature above 18C? Should we not just leave the decanted wine in t he decanter in the room till it nears 18C? Or there abouts.

  • Excellent - very practical example of how to decant old wine. Now I just need a few bottles that are 50 years or older!

  • @Neutrinoghost: Obviously you have never drank wine that has been unprepared. Wine is not like drinking a soda. The enjoyment of wine can be enhanced by patience.

  • @Neutrinoghost People who don't want to drink grit. 

  • Damn it's just fermented grapes, open the bottle, stick the end in your mouth and swallow. Who made these stupid rules?

  • Wrong!!! Many wrong things in the procedure! Ignore.

  • I like to decant a case of Victoria Bitter into my mouth.
