Wine Decanters: 4 Wine Decanters to Give Wine Lovers

The Best
Wine Decanters
in 2020

Wine decanters do more than just look good. Their purpose is to add oxygen to the wine so it can “open up” and “breathe.” For the uninitiated, wine decanters can feel like an unnecessary formality, but the reality is, most red wine benefits from a good decant. Perceived as something to splurge on, most wine lovers don’t own one — making it a perfect gift.

When choosing a decanter, the most important consideration is the surface area of the wine once the full bottle has been poured into it. After that, style and budget are the secondary considerations. We only recommend wine decanters (as opposed to whiskey decanters), and we prefer well-known brands like Riedel or Bormioli.

Why This Gift

In less than 2 minutes, aerate and decant an entire bottle of wine with a dramatic, hands-free cascade.

This is the decanter we use in our house. We saw, and experienced, it in action at one of our favorite wineries who uses it to quickly get their spectacular Pinot Noir ready for customers in their tasting room.

Send it through the decanter the first time and it's well aerated. Send it back through the filter into the wine bottle and it's ready to drink. Any wine!

From the perfectly executed balance to the extraordinary design, the achievement of the Denk`Art line are glasses that seem nearly too delicate to hold, and yet they are made for just that. This is glassware that stands at the rarefied point where form meets function. This is art.

Thus, the curve of the bowls are tilted at the angles of 24 degrees, 48 degrees and 72 degrees."
