Wine Accessories and Glasses

Wine decanting is a method used by wine lovers to:

~promote the oxygenation of a young or tannic wine in order to release its aromas

~split the liquid from the sediment of an old wine or vintage bottle of port

Placing wine in a decanter “wakes up” the wine to reveal its full potential. Wine decanters also present wine in a clear glass or crystal receptacle that highlights the liquid’s natural colors. Clean your decanter as soon as it is empty. Buy a decanter cleaning brush that is specifically designed to reach nooks and crannies. Use mild soapy water (tap. or warm, but never boiling) and rinse thoroughly to prevent tainting the next wine.
