Wine storage,I recently shipped my wine from professional storage in CA to my home in FL. A friend said that I should now let it rest for 3 months minimum before drinking, that it has to settle back down. I think that is silly because it will be dumped into a decanter before it is drank anyway.
Does anybody know if there is truth to having it rest for 3 months? If so, Why?
WHY????? Can anyone tell me that wine tastes different after long plane flights rather than resting???

Not long at all. Afterall it is just wine. Even a sparkling wine is relatively stable and so a couple of hours of chillin works for them

A few hours is way too soon ,but a few days is way too late. Leave it for a hole day ,maybe two.
