WMF Easy Pour Decanter
Product 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 WMF Easy Pour hand blown glass wine decanter. Decanting is the process of pouring wine from a bottle into a carafe and is recommended for red wines. The main reason for this is to separate the clear wine from the deposit at the bottom of the bottle (influencing the quality of the wine). During the transfer the wine comes into contact with oxygen and can develop its bouquet better. Reader Reviews 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.
