Wine Tasting

[Brom]

"filtered water to rinse--or wine."

You actually rinse your glasses with wine?

I don't know - it seems counterproductive.

When I use a decanter, all that is in it is wine. No lips touch it of course. So when I wash it, I want to get the wine out of it. Some questions - Do you clean glasses or a decanter to remove residual wine from the vessel? Will using wine remove all wine residue from the decanter? Why do it at all? By filling a decanter with wine, then pouring it out, aren't you getting your rinse?

Maybe you have bad water in your neighborhoods. Certainly chlorine is just not detectable by smell in my tap water.
