Large Elegant Wine Decanter with Aerator - Hand Blown Lead-Free Crystal Glass Wine Carafe, 750ml Red Wine Decanter, Wine Aerator Accessory for Wine Lovers

Before buying this decanter, I did some research. There seem to be issues with some decanters of this shape, such as washing, drying, pouring, however, the Chateau Wine Decanter does not share any of those issues.What I liked about the decanter- it ls large, solid, lovely - does not need to be babied- it washed easily, just with soap and water- it dried beautifully within minutes (other decanters experience difficulty)- the mouth, although slanted, holds the wine funnel at a correct angle (I had wondered about that)- the size of the mouth is a perfect fit for the the size of the wine funnel - one does not need to hold the funnel while pouring- when serving, it poured out every last bit of liquid (other decanters experience difficulty)- it has a round hollow foot at the bottom (visible in picture), which will hold sediments beautifully- the width of the neck just above the bowl, is a bit larger than some other decanters, which allows more air for breathing, and also, helps in drying after washing.Suggestion: after washing, I placed a microfiber cloth into a 4 cup Pyrex measuring cup, inverted the decanter and leaned it at an angle against a corner (make sure the measuring cup will not slide forward). After a few minutes, I gave the decanter a 180 turn (rotation in place), and allowed it to drip from the other half, as it were. In other words, first it rested on the shorter side of the mouth, and later on the taller side, on the spout, thus allowing both sides of the bowl to drip dry. After a total of about less than 10 minutes, the decanter was completely dry in the inside. I just had to wipe the mouth.Already ordered another one as a gift. The only imperfection is a small air bubble inside the glass, but I suppose these things happen. Short of hitting it, I do not believe that it will burst. If it will, I shall contact seller.

Nice decanter

I’ve been looking for a good wine decanter for over a year now. What I’ve previously found have been similar but of cheap quality though not necessarily inexpensive. Even similar decanters in high-end wine stores have been expensive junk. I was so pleased to have found this decanter. Its size is perfect, the quality is excellent, and the price is $20 cheaper than the one I recently saw at an expensive wine store. I even appreciate the tutorial on how long to decant different wines in the product description.This purchase has made a great difference in the flavors and aromas of my wines. Even in less expensive bottles, the bitter aftertastes are greatly diminished. I love this decanter. Be sure to buy the cleaning and drying tools to make caring for this carafe a breeze. I sent a link for this decanter to everyone I know who enjoys wine. I couldn’t be more pleased!!

Beautiful decanter. Arrived quickly, was well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. It’s sturdy but not heavy or clunky — making it easier to pour from consider the size and shape. With careful pour there are no drips. Ours has no flaws in the glass like mentioned in another review - it’s perfect and beautiful. This decanter will get lots of use over the upcoming holidays, so if I have more observations will update this review. Exactly what I was looking for, we are satisfied customers.This would make an excellent gift for wine lovers.

Seems to breathe the wine well enough. I never thought something this shape would be easy to clean, so don't misunderstand, but never let anything dry in it!

This is a very well constructed decanter that does not feel overly heavy and pours nicely. I would recommend this for someone looking for a decanter that doesn’t break the bank.

Nice quality

This decanter is just that! I purchased this decanter for only that reason. My guests will have the advantage of my personal selfishness!
