Have a cracking bottle of Red Wine and you don't know if you should decant it?

If you should - how long for?

Master Sommelier Carlos Santos is here to debunk the decanting myths and describe the many benefits, including separating the sediment from the liquid. This is especially helpful for red wines. Decanting also enhances a wine's flavour by exposing it to oxygen, and allowing it to breathe.

In this episode of Got Somme: We decant one wine into 3 different vessels to explain the process and why once decanted we can assess 3 different experiences.

Get ready to find out how to be rid of your wine dregs aka sediment and give your cherished wines their best chance.
