Pretentious wanker?

[Lambretta]

I am sitting here watching the Dragons play the Bulldogs whilst drinking a Four Wives Pilsner. Nothing really unusual with beer and footy. But the thing that worries me is that I'm currently decanting a 2006 Shiraz, Merlot, Tempranillo.

I haven't started drinking the wine yet as it needs a couple of hours to breathe having spent 7 years in a bottle.

Does this make me a man of taste and distinction or a pretentious wanker?

Entirely depends on the vessel used to decant

Lead crystal and ornate - Pretentious wanker

Plastic bucket - Bogan fail

Somewhere in between - enjoy and don't give a f**k.

It was a lead crystal meth bucket

(actually it was a plain glass decanter that I bought at Victoria's basement on the cheap)

Did you pour it into your decanter over the belly of a supermodel, an arts student or a tramp?

In all seriousness, at Friday work drinks today I mentioned that lately I've been getting into red wine as opposed to only drinking beer and I got called feminine. By a lesbian.

You are a pretentious wanker, bht its not your fault --- you didn't ask to be born Italian.

Somewhere in between.

A pretentious self satisfier...just open the wine and down it in one hit out of the bottle.

f**king hell, Buckinghamshire is now in Italy

Suddenly I feel more exotic. Well more exotic than I do by pouring my wine into the decanter over the stomach of a Thai Ladyboy biker.

I feel the need for self abuse and a nice glass of red coming on.

If there was alot of sediment, then its ok.
If the wine was clear, then the act of decanting was gratuitous, which makes you a utter wanker.

Should've been drinking a Jack of Spades instead

Decanting has a dual purpose - the large area inside the bottle allows wine to breathe. The filter used collects the sediment

For optimum taste, wine should be decanted the day before drinking

PS - you never can tell how much sediment there will be in a bottle until you've poured some out

PPS. I'm deflecting cos there was no sediment
