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.
The verb decant means to pour.. Kids moving water back and forth between two cups, your dad pouring a bucket of soapy water in the sink, or a wine expert emptying a bottle of wine into a fancy glass container â all of them are decanting liquids.
