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.
Check your freezerâs temperature. Chilling a bottle of wine works best for freezers operating at zero degrees F. or -18 C. Place the bottle(s) of wine in the coldest part of your freezer. If there is room for the bottles to stand, arrange them in this fashion. If not, laying them on their sides will suffice. Set your timer for 30 minutes. Check on the bottle periodically to ensure it has not begun to freeze.
