Riedel Cabernet Decanter

The Riedel crystal decanter, made in Austria by the world's most renowned wineglass maker (Riedel Crystal, founded in 1756), is distinguished by its elegant and complex machine-made design. Riedel wholeheartedly believes that all wines, whether young or old, red, white, or sparkling, can be enhanced by the process of decanting. To maintain the decanter's pristine condition, Riedel recommends using bottle cleaners to remove any stains that may accumulate inside.

This decanter is designed to hold up to 37-1/8 ounces, ample for a 750-milliliter bottle of wine, and measures 9 inches in height. Its graceful, outwardly curved neck provides a secure grip when pouring, and its machine-blown, brilliant crystal construction conforms to Riedel's exacting standards: colorless, transparent, and thin-walled. The decanter's design allows sediment to settle, clarifying any older red wine, and the display of the wine's color makes it a beautiful serving vessel even for young, sediment-free wines.

Riedel crystal is renowned for its use in fine restaurants all over the world, and it must stand up to frequent trips through a dishwasher. However, due to the soft, coarse surface of crystal, which helps to convey intense aromas, Riedel recommends that this decanter be hand-washed to preserve its quality and performance.
