Decanting is a process of serving the wine in a different vessel to enhance the essence and the quality flavor of the wine. As a young person, decanting may seem like an extra thing to go for but as one starts discovering the tastes and the quality levels of the wine after and before decanting, a huge difference is easily visible.
Decanting the wine actually does change the taste much as it has two unique purposes behind it.
- Separating sediments.
There are two types of prestige decanters mainly used:
- Wide neck decanters
- Thin neck decanters
- The topmost quality to consider while buying decanters is the size of the decanter. Size considerations come with the surface area the decanter provides to the wine. Decanters design are such a way so that a wider area is given to the wine so that a lot of oxygen get to mix with the wine. The second consideration with the surface area is that the poring of the wine in the decanter is easy and its design is not such that the wine drips out of the decanter.
- The material of the decanter also matters as most of the decanters are glass made but some of the decanters made from other materials add a different flavor to the mine, but people prefer the high-quality glass decanters to get a fine taste.
- The third point to consider is the ease of cleaning. The decanter that you are choosing must be easy to clean. Instead of using the typical soap in the kitchen to wash the decanters is not a good idea. As if the soap is not properly washed than it would make the wine feel different in taste.
- The decanter should be such that it is easy to pour the wine into other containers. Some of the decanters that have a wide surface area or wide mouths have the disadvantage that wine can be dripped while poring so the decanter should be such that it is easy to pour wine in other containers.
- The last thing is the look of the decanter. Many high-enddecanters are usually very stunning and are made to attract the people. The decanter can be purely functional or it can be a little fancy looking. So choose such a decanter that is serving both the purposes that is a work of art and a functional decanter.
