Amazon.com Review
Made of lead-free glass, this classic decanter holds one 750-milliliter bottle of wine. While the most common use of a decanter is to prevent sediment in an aged red wine from spoiling the wine's clarity and brilliance, some authorities also recommend decanting young red wines to give them the opportunity to bloom. In either case, this decanter brings elegance to the dinner table. And because it has an indented well in the bottom, steady, careful pouring is possible, as fingers fit securely into the well while the thumb grips atop the decanter's flared base. Standing 9 inches high on a 9-inch-diameter base, the decanter serves beautifully as a vase when it's not being used for wine. --Fred Brack
Product Description
Perfect for decanting your favorite vino, this WMF Easy Pour Decanter features a classic wide base shape with an elegant curved neck. The indented well on the bottom allows for careful, one-handed pouring, by providing a place to secure your middle finger for a great grip. Decanting exposes the wine to more surface area and oxygen, allowing the wine to open up to its full potential, thus bringing out the very best qualities of the nose and flavor.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Good looking, maximum aeration, great price!,
By "portmaster" (Carrollton, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: WMF Easy Pour Decanter (Kitchen)
This is a good looking decanter, and the punt at the bottom makes it unusual. One 750 ml bottle reaches about the widest portion of the decanter, so this decanter provides maximum aeration. Finally, the price is great! Can't find anything nearly as nice for even close to the price. While this is not crystal -- and if you leave your wine or port in the decanter for very long, you should not use lead crystal, as the lead can leach into the wine -- it is still very nice to look at. Highly recommended

Great form, function AND price!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: WMF Easy Pour Decanter (Kitchen)
I grew up around wine and realize how much difference decanting can make. Most "company" reviews will tell you that decanting is great for old wines for aeration and containing sediment but why I am such a big decanting fanatic is that it can greatly enliven the flavor and body of those "young" wines that fit the budget a little better.Sure, this isn't high end crystal, but it still serves its purpose in an attractive manner and you don't have to worry so much about dropping it (as long as it's empty!). Considered rating four instead of five stars, but only because it isn't the magnum size (which holds two bottles of that favorite red).

3.0 out of 5 stars
Just okay,
By Mike (Boston area, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: WMF Easy Pour Decanter (Kitchen)
I was eager to get this decanter based on the great reviews. However, the quality of the glass is just okay. Perhaps not surprising based on the low price. Mine has a very obvious bubble near the top of the neck. Also, the glass is VERY thick and this creates suboptimal pouring tendencies. There is some dripping. As another reviewer noted, it is difficult to get all the wine out. Even pouring when the decanter is half full is challenging, involving inverting the decanter nearly upside down.
