decantings
Slow bottle emptying
Decantings is the plural of decanting, the act of carefully pouring liquid from one container to another, typically to separate it from sediment or to aerate it.
The term appears most often in reference to wine, where decanting allows a vintage to breathe or removes particles that have settled in the bottle.
The sommelier's careful decantings revealed the full character of each wine.
The word can also apply to any gradual, careful transfer of liquid.
