Do you own a wine decanter? Chances are that you might not. If that’s the case, read on for some handy tips on how to make do without one.

Why do you need to decant red wine?


Decanting enhances flavor through aeration. Aeration is the process of introducing oxygen to a liquid. This is also called allowing a wine to “breathe.” Aeration enhances a wine’s flavor by softening the tannins and releasing gases that have developed in the absence of oxygen. Decanting wine allows the flavors and aromas that were dormant while bottled to expand and breathe.
Decanting also separates any sediment that might be present in the bottle.
This tip will help with aeration and not necessarily the sediment separation. Watch the video below and give it a try the next time you pop a bottle of red wine
