Our beautiful Sommelier crystal wine decanters by Ravenscroft are hand crafted in Europe and are 100 percent lead-free and dishwasher safe. A decanter is more than a beautiful serving container for wine. It also helps soften the harsh tannins in a red wine and remove sediment left over from the vinification process.
Decanting involves transferring of a liquid from one container to another. A wine simply cannot breathe by pulling out the cork. The tiny neck of a bottle will not allow any air exchange, therefore, decanting allows the wine to breathe. The decanter is designed to expose a large surface area of wine to air which introduces oxygen to it. This process takes the bite out of young wines so you can enjoy them earlier.
We have a great selection of crystal wine decanters and wine stemware. They will make the perfect gift for yourself or the wine lover in your life.
