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.

Re: Wine
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!

You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.

Re: Wine
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)

Re: Wine
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.LeverEnd wrote:How dare you.

Re: Wine
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?
