Before you go whining about bad wine, consider this hack to enjoy a glass of red or white the way it was meant to be: frothed.
In an ideal world, wine should have a chance to “breathe” after corking and before taking the first sip — allowing time for the brew to mingle with oxygen, which prompts a chemical reaction that removes unfavorable sulfites and ethano compounds, according to global wine technology company Coravin.
And how long does it take for his change to occur, you ask? Try one to two hours.
Though many whites and rosés are primed for pouring right away, varieties of red generally need that breathing room in a decanter or your glass.
