Spanish term or phrase: Extender
10 000 vinos hacen falta
Para acercarse al vino de veras, para entenderlo, para EXTENDERLO, para amarlo.
10 000 vinos hacen falta para poder escuchar su música en silencio y expresar su pasión desapasionadamente.

I normally translate technical docs. Most of this doc is fine, but some of the more 'poetic' terms elude me, lol.
TIA :)

English translation:to unravel it
Explanation:
"In contrast complex wines have more different layers that unravel with every sniff or sip"

"At prices of around £15-20 per bottle these may not make it onto everyone's table this Christmas, but until science can unravel the complexities of taste, most will continue either to follow the experts' advice or simply drink what they enjoy."

"Extender - Desenvolver, desplegar o desenrollar algo que estaba doblado, arrollado o encogido. "

Explanation:
Cheat. You have poetic licence with poetic terms. "Appreciate" fits and will not stike the reader as odd.
