Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Wine aficionados will do whatever is necessary to achieve greatness from their prized collections. You have the right corkscrew, the right glasses, some good vintages--now add the decanting step to your evening ritual. While it won't turn vinegar sweet, this decanter really does help deepen the flavors of even your blandest red. By providing a broad surface area for the wine, the decanter allows controlled exposure to air, affecting all the little flavor nuances that make wine so enjoyable. The sloped spout makes pouring a breeze, and the construction material--looks like glass, sounds like glass, but is as lightweight as plastic--makes it easy to handle. Because of the unusual shape, it is best to hand wash using a long-handled brush to get the decanter really clean. --Jill Lightner

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the price of admission, August 17, 2001

This review is from: WMF Classic Glass Wine Decanter (Kitchen)

I really like this item. It's simple, but attractively so, and it's a really good deal. Also, it's sturdy glass...it's got a good heft to it and it's not a shatter waiting to happen. Think of it as the "everyday" decanter that you can use without fear while you're waiting for the perfect occasion to break out that nice, pricey Waterford job that you got for you wedding.

This decanter is perfect for everyday use if you drink a lot of wine - it's great for us because we don't have an area to cellar wine, so we decant it to take some of the edge off of a young wine. If you don't drink a lot of wine, this decanter is perfect for a special occasion. Since it doesn't have any decorative cutting, you can really see the wine's true color and the simple shape will work on anyone's holiday table.

This review is from: WMF Classic Glass Wine Decanter (Kitchen)

Got this as a wedding gift (with a nice bottle of red and the filter) for some casual wine-os and they loved it. As another commentor mentioned, this unit is not glass, you can tell by the weight, which makes it easier to pour, but it gives the appearance and sound of glass. I was a little bit worried when I first recieved it because when I picked it up it felt like plastic and I wasn't sure if they would like it, but the first time it got dropped and didnt break it took away my displeasure and they once again said what a great gift it made for them.
