A term used to describe an engine's ability to fill its cylinders with air-fuel mixture and then discharge the burnt exhaust gases In general, the more air-fuel mixture an engine burns the more power it produces
What a wine does when it is exposed to air through decanting (see also decanting) or swirling Opinions vary regarding whether or not breathing is beneficial to a wine
An audible change in the level of background noise with varying audio levels Most often used to describe an undesirable characteristic of companding systems A faster, somewhat more noticeable form is called pumping Back to top
The process of enhancing the bouquet by allowing air to come in contact with the wine by removing the cork and or decanting it prior to serving A young red wine will benefit from being given at least an hour to breathe Older wines benefit less
Also, in a wider sense, the sound caused by the friction of the outgoing breath in the throat, mouth, etc
In audio terms, breathing is the change in audible level of background noise due to use of noise reduction or other processing If the processing is not set up correctly, background noise will tend to "jump up" in level during breaks in program material
Also known as 'pumping', the undesired audible rise and fall of background noise that may occur with a compressor
Allowing a wine to mix with the air Aeration occurs by pouring the wine into a larger container, such as a decanter or large wineglass Breathing can be beneficial for many red wines and also for some young white wines Chemically, breathing enables oxygen to mix with the wine, which hastens the aging process If a wine stands open for more than 12 hours, it will begin to turn to vinegar as the oxygen continues to work Whether to let a wine breathe before serving depends on the wine Contrary to popular belief, it is not always beneficial to let older wines breathe prior to drinking, as this can cause them to "turn" - or go bad - before dinner is over
the bodily process of inhalation and exhalation; the process of taking in oxygen from inhaled air and releasing carbon dioxide by exhalation
