OK, here's the deal if you don't want to watch the video or you're in a hurry or whatever:
- Not all wines need to breathe, and most taste better after you've enjoyed a glass or two anyway.
- Red wines benefit from breathing more than white ones do.
- Just uncorking the bottle isn't enough, you need to decant it into something.
- There are aerators you can buy to speed up the breathing while you decant.
-
OR, you can do what we did and
put the wine through a blender!
