Do not store wine in a decanter. Even robust wines such as vintage port shouldn’t he left in a decanter: port takes a while to show signs of oxidation, but it starts to lose its aroma within days.

Plan to finish a decanter in one go. Failing that, pour the remains into a clean, empty wine bottle and use one of the preserving methods.
