deklanovaných

The term "deklanovaných" is a Czech word that translates to "decanter" in English. A decanter is a vessel, typically made of glass or crystal, used for serving and aerating wine. Its primary function is to separate the wine from any sediment that may have accumulated in the bottle, particularly in older wines. By pouring the wine into a decanter, it is also exposed to air, a process known as aeration or decanting. This exposure allows the wine to "breathe," which can soften tannins and open up complex aromas, enhancing the overall tasting experience.

Decanters come in various shapes and sizes, each designed to optimize aeration for different types of wine. Some have wide bases to maximize surface area exposure to air, while others have narrower necks to minimize oxidation for more delicate wines. The act of decanting is often seen as a ritual associated with fine dining and wine appreciation. It is particularly recommended for full-bodied red wines that have the potential to benefit from aeration, such as Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. While less common, some white wines, especially those with complex profiles, may also be decanted. The process involves carefully pouring the wine from its original bottle into the decanter, allowing any sediment to remain in the bottle. The wine is then allowed to sit in the decanter for a period, ranging from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the wine's age and style.
