Decanting get as much flavor and aroma from wine as it had when it was first bottled. Aerating a young red wine with a decanter soften tannins and make it easier to drink. After pouring wine into wine decanter, allow it to sit for about an hour before pouring it into glasses. Modern decorator are more interested in decanters that are truly stunning and seem more like sculpture than functional glassware.
