With the young wine that is usually less than ten years, you need to let these wines breathe to enjoy their taste to the fullest with all the flavors. As young wines tend to have very high acidity and acrid acidity, it needs oxygen to soothe. Moreover, for the perennial wine that is generally 15 to 10 years old, there will be sediment in the bottom of the bottle. In order to avoid the sediment, you will need to separate the residue from the wine from a crystal bottle of decanter wine. However, using a decanter to serve your beverage, gives an aesthetic look.
The concept of both decanter and aerator is similar, there are a few significant variations between
these two.
Both the decanter and aerator try to increase oxygen exposure in beverages such as wine, whiskey, etc. By increasing the surface area of your beverages, you increase how much of that is air contact. Doing this helps in producing strong aromas and flavours more quickly. An aerator is a small device that is either put in or on a jar or generally carried by hand. Some configurations introduce the air into the system through which the wine passes whereas the others
distribute the pour from various spouts. This helps in increasing the exposure of the wine to while it is being poured out.
Decanter is a widely known method for aerating older cellar wines or whiskeys. The large quantity of the sediments can be retained in the bottle while pouring slowly and properly. That is the reason that sommeliers use a candle or torch to lighten the glass when pouring, hence to avoid pouring before the sediments hit the throat.
Most forms of wine can be decanted, from young wine to old wine, red wine to white wine, and even roses. In fact, almost all wines benefit from just a few seconds of decanting. Young, strong red wines, however, particularly need decantation because their tannin are more powerful.
A particularly fragile or old wine (especially one 15 or more years old) should only be decanted 30 minutes or so before drinking. A younger, more vigorous, full-bodied red wine and even whites can be decanted an hour or more before serving.
Leaving your wine overnight on decanter is okay. It can even stay in the decanter for 2-3 days as long as the decanter has an airtight stopper. Even if it does but it is not really airtight so the wine in it can get stale from being too aerated.
Rinse your decanter properly to remove any remaining beverage. Fill the decanter with lukewarm water, use a decanter cleaning brush or decanter cleaning balls, and if you don’t have these you can also use white vinegar with lukewarm water to give the shine to your decanter. Lastly, let it dry by keeping it upside down.
