Product Description
Metrokane, founded in 1983, produces the world's leading line of wine accessories, including the famous Rabbit corkscrew, and continues to develop a host of fresh and innovative tools. This Houdine decanter with wine shower funnel and sediment strainer is a perfect set for red wines. The decanter is made from hand blown lead-free crystalline quartz, is indented in the bottom for ease of use and has a capacity of 48 ounces. The sediment strainer is placed in the shower funnel prior to decanting to help remove the sediments from an aged bottle of wine. Pour the wine through the wine shower funnel to help oxygenate the wine. Watch it shower down the sides of the decanter. This is truly a beautiful and functional set all in one.

It really works!,

This review is from: Metrokane Houdini Decanter with Wine Shower Funnel and Sediment Strainer (Kitchen)
I purchased two of these as Christmas presents; one for a son that is into quality wines and another for myself and my wife. I have done a number of tests, where I open a bottle of red wine and pour some directly into one glass and then pour the remainder of the bottle into the houdini decanter through the funnel/strainer. Then I pour some from the decanter into a second glass. The difference in taste is amazing.
I highly recommend the funnel-decanting process to everyone as a way of improving the flavor and taste of red wines. Now for the downsides. The houdini decanter works great at improving taste, but it is really hard to clean and hard to store. I end up hand washing it and balancing it upside down on a kitchen towel between a number of things to aid in the drying. Then I have to find a special place to store the decanter, as it takes up a lot of room. If I were to do this over again, I will look for a decanter that probably doesn't have as broad a base and has some kind of cap to it so that it can store wine for the next night. Still, I use this decanter-strainer combination most weeks and am really glad I purchased it. My son also love the one we got for him. As a result it was worth it, as it makes a $5-$12 bottle of red wine taste like a much more expensive bottle of wine.

This review is from: Metrokane Houdini Decanter with Wine Shower Funnel and Sediment Strainer (Kitchen)
The decanter works as intended and its very nice. As for drying, I didnt like some of the comments and was worried about how i was going to dry it. My solution was to invert it into a $2 64oz glass beer stein I have (I think from Target). The stein is heavy and stable and the neck of the decanter doesnt reach all the way to the bottom while the mouth of the stein holds the base of the decanter. Plus they are both in my bar at home, so no unncessary unitaskers. There are a lot of things around the house that will accomplish the same thing - a vase maybe?

I initially didn't want the screen and aerator. I'm sure glad I changed my mind! The screen catches sediment and wayward bits of cork that you wouldn't want to consume. The carafe is solid and more than accommodating to a 750 mil bottle of wine. A reasonable price as well. Overall a very worthwhile item from Amazon.com - my favorite on-line store!
