Three! That is quite the number. I hope you are swilling and spitting, my friend.

Umm.. sure I am.

humanodon, I've never heard that 30 minutes was the magic number but allowing a red wine to "breathe" really does transform how it drinks. If you have a wine with harsh tannins, it can really do a good bit to smooth them out.

That just seems to be the rule of thumb I've heard most. It's probably just a reasonable guess or whatever.
