Does wine also need to "breathe"?

Whether the wine needs to be breathed before drinking (meaning that the bottle is opened before drinking, so that the wine can have a longer time to contact with the air, which helps to soften the firmer tannins in the wine, making the wine more tasteful. Suppleness is a problem that still remains unresolved. There is no need to breathe, but it varies from wine to wine. It seems that there is no such need for most of the daily drinking wines on the market. If you really feel that the tannins in the wine are too strong (this happens mostly in young wines suitable for ageing), then the effect of simply opening the bottle early is probably not as significant as the decant.

The role of changing bottles

Changing the bottle means changing the wine from the original bottle to another container (usually a dedicated decanter). In general, there are two purposes for changing bottles. One is to let the wine have more space and air contact as mentioned above, so that the wine is more supple and the aroma is more fragrant. Because the general decanter has a wide bottom, it provides more space than the bottle. The second is to remove the sediment (or slag) from the old wine because of the old age.

Therefore, if measured by the above criteria, it is usually necessary to change the bottle of wine, mostly old wines with a age of more than 10 years or more, or a year-old porter who often ages for decades. No longer a young wine with a thick wine. As for some old wines that may be more delicate (such as aged Bugandi), it is usually considered to be more fragile and the aroma is more careful. Therefore, it is not recommended to change the bottle to avoid damaging the already weak wine. quality.

Bottle change tips

When there is no decanter at hand, other containers with sufficient suction space can be used instead (it is generally recommended to use a crystal or glass container to produce less odor). If the purpose of the bottle change is to remove the sediment, it is best to place the wine upright for one to two days before changing the bottle so that the sediment can sink to the bottom of the bottle first; and when changing the bottle, match the candle (or other light source) Illuminate the bottleneck to confirm the stoppage before the sediment stream enters. Before actually changing the bottle, the bottle mouth is usually cleaned first (usually the entire bottle seal is removed), the bottle is held in one hand, and the decanter is held in the other hand, and the wine is slowly poured out from the bottle. The light source is usually placed under the bottle neck, and when the wine is poured, if the chlorine can be made, it is better to avoid the mixture of the sediment and the wine.

In fact, some people do not change the bottle even if they drink the wine that produces the sediment. Therefore, the decision to change the bottle is the same as many other habits of drinking wine. In addition to the functional necessity, it can be changed according to personal preferences, and it is not necessary to stick to the rules.
