Question 1

Will the decanter really change the taste of the wine or is it just a myth?

Accepted Answer

Friend, Wine decanting is an art and when done correctly, using the right tools as this glass wine decanter, the flavor of your beverage will change, but in a way, you might have not expected. Young wines for instance, when consumed directly from the bottle, in a hurry as most people do, might have an astringent aroma. After using this glass carafe for decanting purposes, you will notice an improved flavor. The astringent taste disappears and it is replaced by a softer, smoother aroma. 
In short, wine decanting might change the taste of your wine, but only to improve it. Wine only gets better when given the chance to breathe properly.

Question 2

How long do you need or should leave wine in a decanter before drinking it?

Accepted Answer

Decanters are for Red Wine. Some red wines have a heavy concentrate of "tannins' in them. Tannins come from grape skins and are a natural preservative, but taste bitter. Many more full bodied wines like Italian barolo or French bordeaux have lots of tannin in them and so need to be aged as the tannins will dissipate over time. That is why people age red wines. When you open a wine with lots of tannins in it, it will taste bitter if you drink it immediately. But if you expose it to air in a clean glass container--a decanter--the tannins will dissipate--the wine will taste less tannic--and so it removes the bitter flavor that comes from the tannins. There is not right amount of time to decant, it depends on the amount of tannins. With less tannic reds, an hour is good, with more heavy tannic wines, two hours, and if you got lots of money and purchased a $150 barolo or bordeaux then probably up to 4 hours is good and if you have such a bottle, then you must invite me over to consume it!! But again there is no absolute time. So get a decanter, go to a wine shop and ask one of the people working there to pick you out some wines that need to be decanted and experiment. It will be fun, trust me! Once a wine has been decanted and then exposed to air and tastes good, any further prolonged exposure to air actually is bad for it, it becomes flat and loses its body/fruit and its balance between fruit and acid. So if you open a bottle and are only gonna have a single glass after it's been decanted, then you actually should get a little kit to take air out of the bottle. But you can always just drink the wine! Hope taht helps. And go to a wine shop and ask questions of the help. Seriously, they actually like that and love to talk about wine and educate people on it. 
Hope it helps you ! !
