Makes All the Difference

A red wine decanter is a perfect gift for the people in your life who love having a glass or two with dinner. Parents, friends, colleagues at work and even bosses will love receiving a decanter for red wine. This is because unlike wine from a bottle, a decanter results in red wine with a more floral bouquet and no sediment.

As a matter of fact, a wine that is fairly inexpensive as well as fairly young tastes more expensive and aged when transferred to a decanter. For this reason, wrapping a decanter along with their favorite red wine will give your recipient another level of red wine enjoyment, all thanks to you.

Many taste tests conducted by the wine industry and skeptical consumers have shown decanting wine will aid the enjoyment of the bottle's contents. To further enhance the taste of the wine an Aerator can be used when pouring into the glass.

The process of pouring the wine into the decanter and letting it stand for a few minutes allows the wine to mix with the air. Usually, the better the quality of the wine, the more the aroma is apparent. Decanting the wine helps to facilitate the enjoyment also for looking at the color.

Once you open a bottle of wine the best thing you can do is let some oxygen mix with it in order to bring out the wines best flavors. There are several ways to accomplish this:

• Just let the bottle sit opened at room temperature (Good)
• Use a crystal wine decanter (Better)
• Pour the wine through a Vinturi red wine decanter (Best)

When pouring through the wine aerator, it can go directly into the wine glasses or go into a Riedel decanter for a nice presentation. The aerators are available in a gift set with one for red wine and another just for white wines. The company claims pouring your wine through the wrong wine aerator can damage the wine.

The Vivid wine decanter is also one of the popular brands of decanter besides Riedel and are worth looking into. Either way, a home bar will benefit from any of these accessories. Interestingly, the emphasis for decanting a wine seems mostly on the red wines but many agree through taste testing that white wines will also benefit from a wine aerator.
