Eednud Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I bought a wine aerator last week as I have been convinced by folk at work it makes a big difference. Anyone have any views on this?Also, do you aerate white wine or just red?No use for a goon bag.Best way to aerate wine is uncork it, pour into glass and sip at your pleasure/leisure remembering to top up glass at regular intervals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought once the wine is being poured into a glass it would aerate naturally? Sounds a bit gimmicky.

Got a bottle of the Casillero Del Diablo at Christmas, it was OK. I’m a big fan of the Faustino V not so much the VII. Personally I’d have a crack at the Bordeaux.

stanton Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Seeing as it's almost the weekend, may as well have a wee taste tonight, white wine will go well with the Pork I've got for tonight's tea 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetmonster Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Ok GD but not being a wine drinker my opinion may not be up to much .I know heehaw about wine other than anything Argentinian I've bought, no matter how cheap (and I mean like 3 quid out of the Co-Op cheap) has always been serviceable, so I just do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wine drinking is the same as art appreciation, there’s a lot of consensus as to what is ‘good’ but the bottom line is about personal preference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a big difference between red and white , other than colour ? Don't know why I just bought red ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverton End Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 M&S are selling their generic Italian White, 1000ml bottle for £5 just now. Goes down fine with your generic pizza, pasta, chicken etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I retract my previous post. Your opinion is not valid! Only kidding. Yes there’s a big difference but it’s one that you need to discover for yourself. The only advice I’d give is drink white wine chilled, not too cold or it or it will be tasteless. We have a wine chiller but if you’re keeping it in the fridge bring it out about 20 minutes before drinking. Drink red wine at room temperature or above and let it breath before drinking. Others might disagree with the above paragraph but they can go f**k themselves. ENJOY! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t really want him in whilst we’re self isolating but he’s coming on Tuesday as things are getting a bit messy! In all honesty the lawn is not great at the best of times, probably 70% grass and 30% moss, but it’s fine for the granddaughter running about on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the same purpose. Moss is nice for lying and falling upon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
