No one cares

because wine takes time to open up after it's been poured. hence decanters

I drink wine at the same speed I drink beer and straight from the bottle.

>>13112542
because wine is for women and women are retarded

>>13112542
Cause the tannins react negatively with the low oxidation producing vinegar you peasant

Because you're meant to drink in moderation, so finish your glass before you pour another. Do you want your drinking companions to think you're a glutton, do you? Wait, you aren't drinking alone, are you? Oh, anon... please don't say you are.

God why did the french revolution ever happen? Ever since the proletariat has got all upity they have consistently ruined the finer things in life.

How isn't it already open if you just poured it?

>>13112542
Esoteric crap by useless people who want to feel like they mean something in life as their lives resolve around impressing others like them due to being massive brainlets.

what is 'pouring wine on wine'?

Does wine really change that quickly once it's been poured, or is this just advice to watch your booze intake dressed up as gourmandise?

Oxidation does have an effect but it’s instantaneous and using a decanter or swirling the wine in the glass just makes you look pretentious.

>save money. Just drink rubbing alcohol poured through bread

It's so flavors don't override one another when tasting
doesn't really matter if you're drinking the same style of wine unless it's a significantly different year
last time I went to a legit tasting on a vineyard the server didn't give a flying fuck and kept pouring all different sorts of wine in our glasses

>>13113229
Anon >>13113278 is right but I also feel the need to add that people who claim to be sommeliers are all caught in some form of mass hysteria where they think they can describe hidden flavors in wine profiles and thus are capable of picking superior wines.
Cheap, wineo-tier wines have won blind wine-tasting competitions in the past.

wine is better when it's oxidized
you have to let it rust or it tastes like shit.

>>13112542
I work in wine and I've never heard this.

That is unless you mean pouring a different wine into a glass that's already got wine in it. It shouldn't really matter if there's just a bit left in the glass, unless you're pouring a white after a pink or red and want to retain the proper colour.

>>13113229
Not that quickly, temperature has a bigger effect on wine than oxidation over a shorter time. Some young, stable wines can hold up for days once opened, especially if they're made to be aged.

>>13113278
Of course oxidation starts instantaneously but it has more of an effect over time, hence why people decant or swirl wine to speed up the process. Ever had a bottle of wine turn to vinegar because it was exposed to oxygen for too long?

Cringe and bluepilled.

It's probably some kind of Mediterranean etiquette thing.
