Price is right and it looks great from the outside- but there's a serious design and/or manufacturing flaw with this product. The pouring edge of the decanter is beveled to an ultra-thin and razor sharp edge, making it extremely brittle - not to mention dangerous to handle. The edge literally broke in my hand the first time I washed the decanter. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this product.

This decanter looks better in person. The glass has a great curve and wide base for lots of surface area for the wine. It feels a bit fragile when pouring, but it is stronger than you think.

Here's what I love about this decanter:

- it's beautiful
- it looks different than my other decanters
- it fits in my wine tote so I can easily carry it, a couple of stems, and a few bottles in a single bag
- it's inexpensive

Here's what I don't love:

- in order to keep the costs down, the manufacturing process may be cutting a few corners, so the glass is slightly imperfect (pure conjecture, really, but this is my review!)

I'd give it 4.5 stars, but I'm rounding up because I use it all the time.

I have a small winery and I have purchased 6 of these decanters. I love the punt, and the design in lovely! However, the lip on the spout is extremely delicate and chips far too easily. We use four decanters in the winery for our reds, and even a slight touch on Reidels will chip the decanters. Too bad as they are lovely...will have to try a new brand now.

I bought this as a Christmas gift. I was worried that it would arrive broken after all the reviews but it arrived in good health. I also wasn't sure about the size but it holds a full bottle of wine and then some and looks lovely as the wine pours into it and out of it. I had a decanter already but wish I had bought this for myself (I was tempted to give them mine - it was hardly used!). Great gift and great price.

Easy to use. Easy to clean. Fits in a standard cabinet because it is not too wide nor too tall like some other items. I love this!

This decanter is lovely, but also makes it really easy to use the aerator as well. We use it all the time! I know this company makes others and would like to see those as well.

Nice wine serving decanter. Not the greatest looking glass decanter but it also didnt cost 100 dollars. Worth the money, it is nice enough to serve wine to friends and family

This is the best value i've seen for a glass decanter of this size & shape. Fit's a little more than 1 750ml bottle of wine and the design is nice and sturdy. I've seen similar looking ones for much more money

Thought it was going to be bigger, even looked up how much a bottle of wine was in ounces. Looks like it will hold about one bottle of wine. Which I thought was ideal, but it looks like it would be almost filled to the top with wine if you put the whole bottle in it. This was a gift for Christmas to my sister. She likes it, I'll have to see if she uses it.
