Mmm, but my question is how to do it gracefully from a decanter. You know, one of those that you almost have to tip on its head to get the last 250mls out! And they're heavy!

Nice video and great advice. Like Kenzi, black is my color of choice when pouring wine, esp red wine.

I always wondered why restaurant servers did that wrist-twist thing. I think I need to practice my pro moves tonight. Thanks Kenzi!

An added bonus of practicing: you get to open a bottle of wine.
