Slight effervescence in still wine- this isn’t really a problem with
the way the wine has been stored, but as a result of incomplete
malolactic fermentation before the wine was bottled. A good way to
get rid of the effervescence is to let the wine breathe. Alternatively
you can use a bottle vacuum device, after about five minutes the
effervescence will vanish.
Sediment- this is not normally a problem, however both red and
white wines can produce sediment after a number of months in a
bottle. The sediment consists of tartrate crystals and is totally
harmless. If anything the building of sediment can be considered a
good sign because it means that the wine was not subjected to much
(if any) filtering, meaning that the flavours and aromas should be
preserved better.
A good way to get around sediment (if it is a problem) is to stand the
bottle upright, the day before opening, so that the sediment can settle
to the bottom of the bottle.
You can also decant your wine; decanting will “open up” the flavour of
both young and old wines, but younger wines in particular. To decant,
pour the wine slowly and evenly into your decanter.
