If a few sediment bits have managed to squeeze their way into your aerator, no worries,

it probably won't be enough to upset your wine drinking experience.

The older a wine, the more sensitive it become to agitation, pouring, and

aeration. Unlike young reds, that need to settle down their tannins, the

aged reds need just the opposite - very little aerating time, or else they

risk having their mellow and delicious flavors overpowered by over-

oxidation. So no more than ten to fifteen minutes of air exposure, or else

those cherished flavors could take a serious nose-dive in the wrong

direction, turning an awesome wine into a flat, one-dimensional blah.

This is the reason why you may prefer to decant older wine the

traditional way instead of using an aerator such as the HiCoup Aerating

Pourer. But you should always be the final judge. If you choose to

decant your older wine the traditional way, check the wine color in the

decanter. If it looks bold and bright, chances are there is still plenty of

pep in the wine to endure a few extra minutes of air exposure. Use your

judgement call to decide what an aged wine needs by smelling it and

checking the vibrancy of its color.

Wine Aeration Group #3: Select white wines

Okay - so red wines are known for their tannins and aging benefits, but that doesn't

mean that they reserve an exclusive hold on your aerator.

Some whites can also highly benefit from aeration. These whites usually display similar

traits with their red brethren, such as being dry, full-bodied, and with heavier mouth

feels than most other whites.

These include such white wines as: Burgundies, white Bordeaux wines like a young

Corton-Charlemagne, and Alsace wines. If these wines aren't living up to their aromas

and flavors right out of the bottle, most likely it's because they need some good old

aeration.

Dust off your HiCoup Aerating Pourer, you'll more often than not be

pleasantly surprised with how much improvement a quick and simple

aeration can provide to some white wines. The added benefit of using

our aerator is that your whites won't get too warm while aerating in a

traditional decanter.
