Resting time after transport

[janrob]

While more often than not I've given the bottle about 1 1/2 minutes to settle down, I agree that there is such a thing as travel shock and find 2-3 days makes a big difference.
On the other extreme, I remember buying a nice bottle of LBV port a couple of years ago, accidentally forgeting it on the floor boards of a car (in winter) for a week, and then driving it over 300 miles to a wine festival (still on the floor). When we finally opened it, it felt like we were drinking port flavoured sand.
