Decanting

[hovis]

Many thank`s for all your replies, you have given me a few idea`s to try. I must admit I opened a bottle of Merlot last week, drank 2 glasses that evening, put one of those temporary stoppers on the bottle, drank the remainder the next evening and to my surprise
the wine tasted much smoother on the palate.
(Not into wine terminolgy yet, smoother on the palate will have to suffice) :-)
