Decanting white wine

[hotwine]

I can't recall ever having decanted a white wine. Since decanting is intended to aerate the wine and allow any sediment to settle out, I've just not found it necessary. Unlike with reds, I don't deposit a white's bottle in the wine butler beside the dining table, but return it to the fridge from whence it came, jumping up to refill glasses as required during the meal. Would be interested to hear of anyone's experience in decanting whites.
