HINTS FOR THE CELLAR

AND

DECANTING OF WINE

A wine cellar shonld be dry, thoroughly clean, dark and well ventilated, but not draughty. Temperature 55° to 60° Fahrenheit. An even temperature is most important.

All Wines should be binned away, the bottles laid on their sides, immediately on arrival. This caution must be strictly observed, especially in the case of all Sparkling Wines, as unless the bottles are so placed that the Wine covers the corks, the \.Vine very soon becomes flat and lifeless. Vintage Port should be binned with the splash mark uppermost.

It is natural for all Wines to throw a deposit after some time in bottle. Vintage Port, Claret and Burgundy should therefore be stood upright in the cellar or dining room for at least twenty-four hours before required, to allow the sediment, or loose crust, to fall to the bottom of the bottle. They should be decanted about 2 hours before being consumed, and the decanter, with stopper out, left standing in the dining room, to enable the Wine to develop, and also to acquire the temperature of the room. This specially applies to Claret and Burgundy, as the crust is very light and it is difficult to decant straight from the bin.

White Wines should be allowed to stand upright for a few hours prior to use, in order to allow the sediment peculiar to them to fall to the bottom. White Wines and Champagnes should be served at a temperature of about 40° Fahrenheit. Do not freeze, this kills the flavour of the Wine.
