Do you have to let red wine breathe? And what is the glass container with the wide bottom called?!
Does it taste different if we let it "breathe" in a wide container instead of pouring from the bottle!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
No you don't have to, but it won't do any harm!.
Pouring the wine in the glass (a large wine glass, fill no more than a third) will quickly aerate the wine!.
The large based container is called a decanter, because you decant wine into it!.
Basically the younger the wine is, the more it benefits over some aeration, but a really old fine wine could be killed by such treatment!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Its called a decanter!. some wines have to settle to allow the sediments to sink to the bottom; then youi pour off [decant is what the chemist calls it] the drinkable stuff!.
Most wines from the supermarket [metlots, etc] won't benefit from "breathing!." But other grapes, especially pinon noir, actually do taste better if you let them breathe for about 20 min!.

You should let any wine breathe 10 to 15 minutes after opening it!. The container is a carafe!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
