For breathing experiments, half the bottle is decanted 3–6 hours before, using a Coravin. Each subject receives 3 glasses in one of 6 possible configurations:
| 1 | Decanter | Decanter | Bottle |
| 2 | Decanter | Bottle | Decanter |
| 3 | Bottle | Decanter | Decanter |
| 4 | Bottle | Bottle | Decanter |
| 5 | Bottle | Decanter | Bottle |
| 6 | Decanter | Bottle | Bottle |
The configuration is chosen at random by another person rolling a die and pouring out in another room. Subjects choose the odd one out and, if they wish, identify it as bottle or decanter.
