Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Any wine tastes better when given a chance to breath before serving, and that's just what this handy, attractive decanter is designed to do. Simply transfer wine from the bottle to the decanter at least 30 minutes before serving to maximize the flavor of delicate and jammy pinot noirs, intriguing petite syrahs, big, bold cabernets, or any favorite wine. Constructed of clear plastic for durability and light weight, this decanter is 10-inches tall and holds a standard bottle of wine. Boasting a unique, beveled pouring edge at top, the decanter has a narrow neck that broadens to a wide holding reservoir with a 9-inch base, ensuring your fine vintages breath properly. An oversized handle provides more than enough room for easy grasping and pouring. Clean by hand with a long-handled brush and hot, soapy water. --Jeff Dalto

1.0 out of 5 stars Cheap Materials - DO NOT order this item!, December 10, 2003

I was shocked to find that this decanter is made of a thick plastic material! No wonder the product description says practically nothing... buyer beware!!! It is worth $5.00 MAX. I can't believe they charge so much for it! And the photo is not accurate. The bottom is NOT rounded, it is a flat plane and the the sides of the decanter join the bottom at a sharp 45degree angle. I'm so disappointed. I sent it back, but Amazon makes ME pay for the return shipping ($7.35!), despite the fact that the item is awful and that is not my fault!!! Amazon should be held responsible for the low-quality items that it tries to sell for high prices!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful at your own table or a great gift, April 26, 2002

I love this decanter!! It is heavy, good quality glass, but still easy to pour. I get all sorts of compliments on it, and it looks great on the table or in a china hutch. I had origally ordered the version without the handle, and was shipped this one by mistake, but I have received so many compliments on this one I think I will keep it.

I love my decanter and bought more as gifts. This is an excellent buy. The quality is beyond what you would expect for the price.
