Though decanting is most often associated with older red wines, any younger red or white wines that taste flat at first sip may improve with as little as 15 minutes of aeration. It also allows a wine’s tannins to smooth out while settling any sediment in the bottle. The act of aerating allows your wine to interact with oxygen, which opens up the bottling’s aromas and flavors. Whether you’re drinking a $20 or $200 bottle of wine, its flavors and aromatic bouquet improve greatly with decanting.
