LET’S TALK ABOUT DECANTERS!

Decanting my wine at home always makes me feel a little extra! So, let’s talk about the benefits of decanting. Then, we are going to share some links to some great decanters you can easily utilize at home!First of all, for the benefits, decanting increases oxygen exposure to the wine, which improves the taste and overall experience of your wine. It softens the tannins, while letting the aromas come out to express themselves! If you enjoy red wine or especially if you drink more affordable wines, you may be able to benefit from decanting!

Below, we are going to share some of our favorite options and some tips on what to look for when searching for a decanter to meet your needs.

1. White or Rosé: Although decanting white or rosé isn’t necessary, you certainly can, and we would recommend a small decanter for this. Pro tip: Chill the decanter first!

2. Light-Bodied Red Wine: Go for a small to medium-sized decanter, or the above white/rosé options works well here too!

3. Medium-Bodied Red Wines: A medium-sized decanter would work best, try the one we have linked!

4. Full-Bodied Red Wine: Go for a decanter with a wide base like the one we linked here.

5. If you are feeling fancy, there are some really fun decanters out there, but they won’t do the job any better than the simple ones!

6. Last but not least, you can use an aerator, especially if you don’t want to pour the entire bottle.
