About this deal

But with all the red wines being poured into fancy crystal containers (and/or blenders) out there, we wondered whether whites could also benefit from bit of decanting. Answer: yeah, a bit. For any wine, brief exposure to oxygen can’t hurt—it’s when that exposure becomes uncontrolled and protracted that flavors get all crummy. But a brief kiss of fresh air on a wider surface area (which is what decanting vessels are designed to achieve) generally shouldn’t hurt any wine—whites included. We loved the feel of the carafe, which is slender around the spout and feels great in the hand. While the YouYah was smaller than most of the decanters we tested, it still comfortably holds a full 750ml bottle of wine. Leave the wine to aerate. The length of time needed depends on the age of the wine, younger red wines (8 years or under) may need anywhere from 1-2 hours, whereas a more mature wine may only need 30 minutes! Fresh green pineapple and apple blossoms on the nose with scents of thyme and ginger. Elegant and citrussy, rounded style.

It has a natural cork stopper, which gives you the ability to decant your wine before serving and avoid any unwanted particles entering your carafe. Decanters come in a few different types, including electric and traditional, and also use a variety of methods to do the decanting. For example, some require more time for the decanting process to take place, while others allow you to start sipping right away. Ripe tropical fruit, pear and peach nose with a hint of smoke.

Alc 14.5% Bucelas Boas Quintas, Morgado Cuvée Arinto 2021Decanters have several functions that improve the experience of certain wines: They separate the sediment that gathers at the bottom of aged or unfiltered wines; they enhance a wine’s flavors and aroma by exposing it to air; and they provide a solution in the event of a broken cork (it can happen to anyone, no matter how well the wine has been stored or how carefully you opened it!). Everyone has had that moment where the temptation to open that special bottle of wine is ridden with guilt because you just want the one glass. And let’s be honest, nobody wants to pour their favourite Bordeaux, Chianti or Chablis Village down the drain. The past two years have given us plenty of reasons to think about how we spend our time on the planet; with conversations around sustainability, waste and taking care of our planet leading us to ponder unnecessary waste when it comes to our enjoyment of wine. O’Brien is also a fan of wide decanter bases, particularly when it comes to big, bold wines. His favorite wine decanter for these bottles? The Spiegelau Authentis Decanter. It boasts a large surface area that's ideal "for those very powerful wines in need of maximum aeration. It is also sturdy and durable,” he says, noting the model’s relative affordability for its quality. The lead-free, crystal wine decanter comes in a 50.7-ounce size with a 9.5-inch base. It also happens to hold up well in the dishwasher, and it's hard to break. Nutty nose full of lime oil scents, with notes of hazelnuts, asparagus and intriguing earthy undertones.
