Experiment Proposal
I'm proposing an experiment for this group. I would do it myself, but I
haven't developed a discerning palate yet. How about a couple of you choose a couple of identical wines. Open each bottle. Taste each to ascertain equality. Decant half of each bottle for immediate consumption. Recork each bottle and put one the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days and leave one at room temperature for 3 to 5 days. Remove the refrigerated bottle and leave it next to the room temp bottle until it has truly achieved room temp. Reopen each bottle and taste again to ascertain equality or inequality. Report results to AFW. I'd really like to see your results. I'll do it, but I'm not sure you'll want to trust my palate. |

It is the common wisdom that the cooled wine will hold up longer. Your palate, I am sure will note the difference. go ahead try it. -- Joseph Coulter Cruises and Vacations http://www.josephcoulter.com/ |

I'll give it a try. I'm not sure that you believe that my palate is discerning enough to notice minor differences or that there will be such a big difference that even my palate can see the light. Either way, I get to drink some wine in the name of science. My contribution to humanity! |

Bryan, I also think that it's a worthwhile experiment given the discussion that's occurred today re the role of temperature in oxidation. In the interests of science, I can conceive of two different experiments. In one, you simply uncork, leave open for some amount of time, recork and store before tasting. In the second, you remove some amount from each bottle before recorking and storing. This would help resolve the question of how much air exposure is needed before oxidation becomes a problem.

They were looking at the idea of letting wine breathe. A bottle, uncorked, was compared with a glass of wine. The chemical analysis demonstrated insignificant change in the uncorked bottle, but the gas content of the glass of wine did change. Conclusion, wine in an open bottle does not breathe while wine in a glass does. I wish I could find that study; it was a fun article. |

Experiment Proposal
You do it. I'll stick with drinking my wines before they oxidize.
