Is it necessary to use my pourer if I'm going to decant my wine?

Supposedly, pourers aerate the wine as the wine passes through it. Isn't it overkill to use a bottle pourer AND a decanter together, then?

Good link, Northwoods! Basically, what that says is a $4 bottle of wine doesn't make a difference...

However if you do use a decanter, it makes it appear you know what you're doing. Most people simply do not know about wine and the decanter makes a great "marketing" presentation. You could buy a box of wine FRANZA box of wine, before guests arrive pour it into a decanter and hide the box and people in the interest of learning will say "this wine is really good, what kind is it?". My advice to use one and put a few bushels of grapes around the base of it for a "slam dunk".

I am SO guilty of putting Franzia in the decanter!

Do tell; it all gets drank, and you get compliments, correct?

Everybody knows it's Franzia.... it just seems so much more classy to have it in a decanter instead of a box...

although it would be fun to try one of those taste test tricks
