To decant or not to decant? 🍷 That is the question! Whether you're savouring a bold red or a delicate white, decanting can enhance your tasting experience by allowing the wine to breathe and fully express its flavours. So, when should you decant? For younger wines, especially bold reds, aeration can soften tannins and reveal hidden layers of complexity. Even crisp whites can benefit, as decanting can enhance their bouquet and texture, allowing for a more nuanced tasting experience. But remember, not all wines require decanting – lighter reds and delicate whites may lose their vibrancy if left too long. #DecantingWine #WineBreathing #EnhanceYourWine #TastingTips #WineWisdom

Here’s why you need a wine decanter A decanter is a glass vessel in which wine is transferred from its glass bottle for service. Here’s how wine benefits from decanting- It helps separate sediments that collect over time in old wines. In the case of young or everyday drinking wines, it increases surface area for exposure to oxygen, releasing their wonderful flavours and aromas. If you are pouring an inexpensive wine at a party and do not want to reveal that to your guests, you can simply pour it in a decanter and stow away the bottle. Decanters are gorgeous to look at, elevating the style quotient of your bar. Here’s a pro tip: Always wash your decanter thoroughly to protect it from wine stains and air it before storing it so that it doesn’t get a musty smell. Do you use a wine decanter?

Beginners Guide to enjoy wine Starting to enjoy wine can be overwhelming with its vast varieties and etiquette. To help you get started, here are three essential things to consider: 1️⃣ A corkscrew, butterfly wings, or screwpull are essential tools for opening a bottle of wine sealed with a cork, each designed to effortlessly extract the cork. However, wines sealed with a screwcap don't require any of these tools, making them more convenient for quick and easy access. 2️⃣ Wine glasses should be clear, stemmed, with a broad base and a narrow rim to enhance the wine's aromas and flavors. Lighter, thinner glasses elevate the drinking experience, offering a more refined and enjoyable sip. 3️⃣ A wine cabinet is ideal for storing wine, keeping the temperature consistently between 11-14°C to preserve the wine's quality. If you don't have a wine cabinet, storing wines in a food fridge is a temporary solution, but it's best not to exceed a month to avoid affecting the wine's taste and aging process. By paying attention to these details, you can elevate your wine experience to new heights.  Ask me your wine-related questions in the comments below!

- Clarity is key as wine should always be clear and brilliant in color. (Natural wines can be the exception.) A cloudy wine could be an indication of a wine fault or that something went wrong during the winemaking process. - Color can give you an idea of the climate in the region where the wine is from. Color can also indicate the age of a wine. - A wide color variation of the rim can indicate that the wine in your glass is an older wine, while a tight or non-discernable variation can indicate that you are about to enjoy a young wine. #tastingtuesday #bionicbottles #bionic #winemakers #newyork #wine #femaleownedbusiness #koreanownedbusiness #winemakerslife #newyorkcity #newyorklife #newyorknewyork #winelover #drinkwine #winemoments #welovewine #wineinstagram #winesofinstagram
