There are two reasons why we decant wines: To enjoy young wines fully (up to 10 years for both red and white) consider opening them 8 â 12 hours prior to consumption for aeration, or decant the wine, as this shortens the aeration process.
Of course, if you store your wine in a wine cabinet at cellaring temperature (12 degrees), this is no longer necessary: just take it out 15 minutes prior to serving. If in doubt though, itâs always better to serve your reds a little cooler, as you can always warm up the glass in the palm of your hand.f course, if you store your wine in a wine cabinet at cellaring temperature (12 degrees), this is no longer necessary: just take it out 15 minutes prior to serving.
