Wine rocks.of course in moderation. But, I shop for it's eclectic flavors and textures. They say to let it breathe by swirling it around in the glass. It's all part of the tasting technique. that's all
eh have i mised something? oh iv got nothing better to do than answer a question that i dont even know what the question was! if you know what i mean
The fumes are overwhelming, but if your a Jack A@@ you really don't care!
Red wine reacts to air. If you give the wine time to do that (breathe) then you'll get better taste and aroma.
Because it needs to react with air to fully develop the flavour.

It's also why you decant red wine, the decanting gets it reacting with air.

EDIT

That argument is flawed as BOTH wines have been decanted, the decanting will have more effect on aerating the wine than the time it has to breathe.

Now if they had said decant one, and not the other, it would have been a valid argument - but they couldn't use that as it does change the taste.
it enhances the flavor dude.
Thank you! Because when im hurling my Lexus down the road at 80 I don't give a rats @ss how my wine is breathing! Plus when I get back in the car from the club it doesn't tast any different!
Yes.as corny as it sounds it's true. Go by a big (meaning taste) red wine taste it and let it sit and taste it again. It's much better.
