They a dear do?

If not, send me your results. You'll need someone to do a follow-up to see if the effects differ as you near the equator.

Aerators don't do anything to a wine that simply leaving it in a decanter (a jug will do) for a couple of hours.

And I don't want to sound in anyway sceptical here, but if someone's told you that it makes £6 bottles taste like 30 quid ones, they saw you coming! All its doing is what the wine would have done anyway if you'd just had some patience. Beware snake oil salesmen!

Who has time for a decanter?

Sounds like an upgrade on my chuck it between two glasses!

That's right, LK assumes a level of prior planning that I don't possess.

He also has quite a bit of oenological knowledge not possessed by a fair few.

How dare you. I know the difference between red and white and how to mix them to make rose.

the very best two options with wine, for those with no patience, are

1) to UNeducate your palette so that it really makes no difference how long you have left it in a decanter
2) to drink a lot of it in one go so that it ultimately makes no real difference

(or both)

I didn't suggest you were amongst the fair few. How do you put the bubbles in to make a sparkling rosé after you've mixed the red and white? Perhaps I shouldn't ask.

Im not sure whether this is rampant opportunism on their part, or a sign of things to come, but I've received emails over he last couple of days from a couple of importers explaining because of the strong dollar, prices of wine from Europe in this country will go up -something to do with us now being a less lucrative export market than China and the US.... any economists?

Most pissed off I've been all week!
