Default Taking some wine to friends house.

Going to some friends for luch tomorrow. Today i bought a bottle of red wine
from Chile to take with us..

I would like it to be at its best so thought i would 'decant' it before
taking it there. I will. pour it into a jug and then pour it back in the
bottle.

Should i do that today or wait until tomorrow. In other words how long
before the event to decant it? Thanks.

I would not decant it until about 1/2 hour before you drink it. Not all
red wines need long periods of time to "open up". Since you don't go
into detail on what wine you purchased (varietal, vintage, etc.), it
would be hard to predict the optimum time between decanting and serving.

Unlike years ago, most wines are filtered and sediment free. If you have no
sediment or just want it to breath, I'd do it at the recipient's home and
pour from the decanter at the table.

If there is sediment, I'd do it the day of the meal. Travelling with the
bottle would shake it up too much.

Chilean wine? The liquor stores here carry a number of inexpensive
Chilean wines, none of which would require decanting.

If wine needs decanting and filtering to make it drinkable then it
wasn't worth more than $2/liter to begin with... just keep in mind
that when you toss that empty bottle into the trash you disposed of
that wine's best part.

Either that, or decant through a coffee filter.
Those work just fine for removing sediment.

Nonsense. Many very fine wines do have sediment.
And most fine wines benefit from decanting. It makes
a big difference, even if you can't tell. I can tell.
Letting the wine breathe is trying to catch it at the
right moment in its collapse after exposure to air.
About 15 minutes after decanting is a good point to
start tasting.

Just take a chance and hand it to em. If they see that you've opened
it etc, they might wonder why. Better to risk a dud than look like
you had a snort before re-bottling.

You didn't give us any information other than it's red and it's from
Chili. It's probably a "drink now" type of wine, so I think you're
making too much work for yourself.

We alway take wine when visiting friends to eat and we have never opened a
bottle before giving it!

They may, depending on the food they have prepared, have provided their own
wine to compliment it and the gift can be kept for another time.

I doubt if there are many Chilean wines that need decanting. Pop it open
at the friends house about 20-30 mins before you are going to drink it,
and that should be fine.

Actually there is vintage port and it can be quite pricy, I posted
about it a few times because it's one of my hobbies... someone educate

It was Sheldon. Don't expect it to make sense.

A few years ago my wife bought me a bottle of vintage port. It was
wonderful stuff. I confess to being naive about vintage port. I had no
idea there would be so much dregs in the bottom of the bottle. I would
estimate that 10-15% of the volume of the bottle was dregs. Rude surprise.

Is any harm done by filtering out the dregs?

There is never a reason to decant any wine, if there is sediment just
don't shake it up... oh, I see now... yoose decant into a fancy
schmancy bottle so your guests won't know you're serving
Boone's Farm. Maybe I'll buy some $50 bottle of vodka so I can decant
too! LOL-LOL

What a buncha phony baloney pretentious schmucks!

Get it through your head that there are no dregs in commercially
bottled wines, they've already been filtered when bottled... what you
see at the bottom of the bottle are crystals/sufites, you cannot
filter that out because if disturbed it immediately go back into
solution. I used to make my own wine, still had no dregs because I
siphoned it out of the carboys from above the dregs, it didn't need
filtering except for the last bit at the bottom and I used that for
cooking... the dregs are nothing more than small bits of fruit, can't
hurt anything. Anyone who brews coffee/tea there are dregs, no one
filters those bits out, just don't pour the last dregs into your cup.

We ended up pouring it through a fine sieve. It was fine, but I was
amazed at the volume of the dregs.

OK, semantics! What is the sediment in the bottom of a bottle of port?
It does not redissolve, AFAICT.

The only thing obvious is that you didn't read much of my post. It
wasn't Chilean wine. It was vintage port. I doubt that any Chilean wine
sold here would have sediment. It is basically cheap wine made to be
consumed soon after bottling. They may make some quality wines intended
to be aged, but the stuff I see in the liquor store is budget wine,
sometimes heavy tasting, but not complex.

From your description, I wouldn't really know if the wine you have still needs decanting or not. Also, if your friends don't know much about treating wine before drinking then they might wonder why you brought wine that's already opened. I advice to just decant it in your friend's place, a few minutes before drinking it (that is, if you're certain that the bottle you hold needs to be rid of the sediments in it). If you want to learn more about wines, then you might also want to check this: Gary Vaynerchuk's Blogging at the Wine Library. He's recently gaining popularity from his works and programs named Wine Library Television. Hope it'll help broaden you and your friends' interest for wine-tasting experiences.

Cheers!
