There’s a trick to make your cheap £4 bottle of wine taste like vintage plonk

There's nothing we like more than kicking back with a nice drop of wine occasionally.

(By 'occasionally' we mean every night after work, and by 'drop' we mean several bottles). We'd love to be able to afford to splash £30 on a plush bottle of something vintage of an evening, but we all know that's not going to happen. That two for a tenner deal at the local off-licence is always going to win. So if you've got champagne tastebuds but a Babycham budget, then there's something you can do to make your bargain booze taste like the good stuff. It's common knowledge that letting your wine 'breathe' for an hour or so lets the flavours open up and softens the tannins a bit to make your £4 plonk more palatable. But who has an hour or two to wait to decant an aerate their wine? We want wine in us right now. Some crafty devil has come up with a genius method of 'hyper aerating' your wine in literally 30 seconds and we can't believe nobody thought of it before. Amateur chef Nathan Myhrvold just sticks it in a blender for a quick blast and it changes the whole complexion of it, according to Live Science. Basically hammering it in a food processor agitates the wine and makes it react with the air far more quickly, thus allowing the flavours to develop. Some claim that sticking a young, cheap wine in the blender can age it five years in 30 seconds. It's a bold claim, but it's worth a spin. Yes it would probably make most wine snobs and oenophiles wince, but if it does the trick, who cares. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wx6DJIQSiWo Catch up with the latest episode of Football Friday Live
