This option is perfectly engineered to provide the maximum amount of aeration for each bottle. The design also looks fantastic.
This product is a better option for red wines than it is for white wines. These need more time to aerate and interact with oxygen than white wines do. However, if you would like to display a white wine for guests in this beautiful decanter, there’s certainly no reason you can’t do so.
The top is 3 ¼ inches in diameter and is designed to pour in a way that cuts down on spills.
This stylish option will be a hit and a great conversation starter at your next gathering.
Although the decanter is not as wide as others on this list, one option to expose more of the wine to the air would be to gently swirl the carafe.
This item allows you to oxidize your wine in as little as two minutes. Then, you have the choice to either pour your wine back into the bottle or serve it from the product.
Because of the steel lid included, this item would be a great option for storing other spirits as well, in addition to wine.
This option will get plenty of use in your home because of its elegant design, ample size (holds 1400ml), and ease of washing once you’re finished using it.
This product was simultaneously made to look appealing and artistic, while also effectively filtering, aerating, and pouring your wine.
This makes a great set to gift, or to purchase if you’re new to wine. In addition to this, this set includes a cork ball, drying stand, cleaning beads, and cleaning rope.
This option features an easy-grip design for smooth and easy pouring, along with a top specially designated to eliminate spills and splashing.
Decanters primarily come with a narrow spout and a wider base. The wider base allows for the wine to fully aerate, while the narrow spout allows for easy pouring with fewer spills. There is a decanter on the list that took a completely different approach with its design, but usually, what we just described is what you can expect to see. Some decanters utilize a “waterfall” design, which causes the wine to fall along the outside edges of the decanter as it makes its way through the spout. This allows for a fuller aerating experience.
Most decanters on this list will only include the decanter itself; however, there are a few sets on this list that come with extras. Most of these will need to be hand-washed, because of their design and because of the material they are made with. There are a couple of decanter sets on this list that make cleaning easy with included cleaning beads, brushes, or drying racks. For any decanter you buy, you can clean it with water and soap, but these added bonuses can save you some time and sweat.
You might want a decanter with a lid, just in case you need to hold any leftover wine for a day or two after it was first served. There are a few options on this list that have that. For the decanters that don’t include a lid, you may be able to buy a large cork or stopper to use with it, but it’s certainly easier when the lid is already included. Plus, you know for sure that it will fit.
A: Some decanters will come with a cork or lid, but this won’t keep wine fresh any longer than if you had left it in the bottle. Many decanters will not come with lids, because they are made to help wine breathe before it’s poured, and not necessarily to hold wine for long periods of time. This is one major way that wine decanters are different from a decanter that you might use for another spirit, like whiskey.
A: Most decanters are made to hold at least one 750ml bottle. Some decanters won’t be able to hold much more liquid than this, while other decanters are made to hold an entire 1.75ml bottle with room to spare. It depends on the individual decanter you buy. If you want to give your wine more room to interact with the air, you could pour half the bottle into your decanter, aerate that wine and serve it, and then refill the decanter with what’s remaining in the bottle.
