Resting time after transport

[RAD]

I don't have years of experience, but Bucko, I've got to side with you on this one. Seems like simple logic to me.

Sediment from an older wine would need time to settle, yes; but I drink most of my reds in a very large-bowled glass, which enables me to swirl a hell of a lot more vigorously than any shock that would be given a wine stuck under a jeep gone off-roading. Nothing happens from the swirling. Even constant swirling for hours would produce no chemical effect (except the beginnings of oxidation, of course, which would happen regardless).

That's one myth settled; now if we could only come to terms with how long port can remain open! [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]
