Cradle for Decanting
I have MS. For nice bottles I have a decanting cradle. My hands shake too
much to do an adequate job without one. The other night I used the cradle
for the first time. It was the first time I had a wine that needed to be
decanted (a 1988 Leoville Las Cases for those scoring at home). Before I
abandoned the cradle, more wine wound up on the kitchen counter than in the
decanter. If the wine comes out slowly it tends to follow the bottle rather
than go into the decanter. If it comes out fast, that defeats the purpose
of the cradle. Is there a simple fix that I am missing? Should I just give
up on the idea of a cradle and have someone else decant my wine?
Fred.
