To pour aged bottled wine carefully into a larger vessel, often a glass decanter for the purpose of leaving any accumulated sediment behind. Decanting also lets a wine breathe, and almost always pertains to red wine.

To pour the beer or wine from the bottle carefully, as not to disturb the sediment. When a red wine is to be exposed to air for some time before serving, it is often transferred to a separate (often decorative) vessel for this purpose, and is then served from this "decanter."

Pouring a wine from its bottle to a jug or another bottle does two things; it aerates the wine and separates the liquid from any gunge that might have precipitated to the bottom of the bottle.

Wine that was not filtered by the winemaker is often carefully poured into another container—usually a decanter—leaving the sediment at the bottom of the first container. Decanting can also aerate a wine, "opening up" its flavors and aromas.

To pour a liquid (typically wine) from its bottle to another container, usually a carafe or decanter. This is generally done to separate the wine from any sediment deposited in the bottom of the bottle during the aging process. Decanting is also done to allow a wine to "breathe", which thereby enhances its flavor.

The process of transferring wine from a bottle to another holding vessel. The purpose is generally to aerate a young wine or to separate an older wine from any sediment.

To switch the wine to another container.

To pour off gently from the top of a liquid so as not to allow sediment or solid material to leave the bottom of the container.

Transferring red wine from a bottle to a decanter for the purposes of removing the crust or to allow the wine substantial exposure to air so that it can breathe.

pour out; "the sommelier decanted the wines"

a great way to try this fragrance before committing to the purchase of a bottle

To pour the wine from the bottle into another glass container. With careful pouring, allows you to leave any residue in the bottle.

pour off by gently inclining the bottle without disturbing the sediment.

Pouring a wine into a container made of glass or some other inert material, for the purpose of either a) getting rid of the sediment that forms with an older wine or b) giving a younger wine time to air out or 'breathe.' See also Double Decant.

to pour wine out of its bottle and into a larger container, leaving behind any sediment

Process of slowly pouring wine from the bottle into a glass carafe, leaving the wine's sediment behind. Usually only older red wines need to be decanted.

A method by which usually cellar aged wines are separated from there sediment by carefully pouring into another, clean container normally a decanter.

the method used to separate the organic sample material from the non-organic sediment (the obsolete part of the material you may have collected)

To gently pour and serve a wine in order to not disturb the sediment and qualities of the wine.

To pour a bottle into another container, either to aerate it or remove sediment.

The process of separating sediment from wine by slowly pouring bottled wine into a carafe or decanter. Usually only older red wines need to be decanted.

The slow transfer of wine from a bottle into a carafe, either to expose the wine to more oxygen or to separate it from its sediment.

To pour a wine from its bottle into a decanter to allow it to breathe more quickly and "open up."

To draw off the liquid from a container, basin or tank without stirring up the sediment in the bottom. The opposite of a slurry.

The pouring of wine (generally) from the bottle to another container, slowly, so any sediment remains in the bottle.

Transfer of wine from the bottle into another container, usually a glass decanter. Decanting aerates the wine and allows you to leave any suspended particles in the bottle.

To pour wine from its bottle into a larger container (i.e., a decanter) for the purpose of leaving any accumulated sediment behind. Decanting also lets a wine breathe.

To decant a wine, you gently pour it, being careful to leave any sediment in the bottom of the bottle.

Decanting removes most of the floaty bits of sediment at the bottom of mature red wines. The wine is poured slowly into a glass decanter, leaving the last bit of wine in the bottle with the sediment. It also gives wine a chance to breathe (see Breathe above). Great way to make an average bottle of wine look posh

To gently pour a wine from one bottle to another so as not to disturb the sediment remaining in the bottom of the original bottle.

To pour wine from its bottle into another container, a ‘decanter,’ in order to eliminate sediment and let the wine breathe

Pour from one vessel to another. Pour off molten metal without disturbing the sludge.

to pour a liquid, generally wine, from one container to another. Red wine is decanted to remove the sediment deposited during the aging process.
