Once upon a time, decanting was necessary for removing the sediment from your red wines. Those were kept it big barrels, and there were no filtration techniques available. They still wanted to put clear drinks on their table, and this way they could easily do it. There are different models today, but it would be nice to have a beautiful crystal wine decanter.



Another very good reason for decanting is the fact red wines need to breathe before consummation. This technique is used as a very simple way of releasing all the specific aromas and flavors in them. Bringing out those aromas will be actual celebration for your nose, as well as your palate.

Although many people think that it is enough just to open the bottle some time before serving, they are so wrong. The surface of the liquid in the bottle is too small to produce any result. That's why you should use special decanters for this purpose.

The shape of those decanters might be unusual, but the whole purpose is to provide as much surface as possible. Wines need to stay there at least half an hour, but mostly about one hour. After that you will be able to enjoy their full aroma and taste. If you will have any leftovers, seal them properly and keep in the fridge.

The whole purpose of having this type of receptacle is to drink better wines. Anyway, everything tastes better if it is served on the right way. Glass decanters are nice, but crystal ones look so much better. Besides, you are filling your glasses from it, at your own table.

Crystal wine decanter is a perfect way of presenting wines to your friends and business partners. Besides, it might be a perfect gift to them, as well. Impress them with a nice bottle of wine, accompanied with the perfect beautiful receptacle for serving it properly.
