What the maker puts in writing

  • Handmade lead-free crystal, easy to clean
  • Large base area
  • Easy-pour slanted spout

The number that matters on this shelf

A bottle of wine is 750 ml. This vessel is 1,200.

That leaves 450 ml of air above the wine — room to swirl, room for the wine to spread, and no risk of a slosh over the lip.

Two decanters on this shelf hold exactly 750 ml. Pour a bottle into one and the wine reaches the rim.

And the shape

Two hundred and seventy-two millimeters across, a hundred and ninety-one tall. It is the only vessel here that is wider than it is high, which is what a decanter is supposed to be.

Availability

Catalogued and unsold: the American Amazon shop lists the reference with nobody behind it.

Read from Keepa on the day this page was last revised; stock and price both move without notice.

What readers ask us

Why does the base width matter?

Aeration happens at the surface. A 272 mm (10.7 in) base holds a 750 ml bottle in a wide shallow layer; a narrow 750 ml decanter holds the same wine in a column. On published dimensions this is the widest vessel on this shelf by 32 mm (1.26 in).

How much air space is there?

1200 ml of vessel for a 750 ml bottle leaves 450 ml. That headroom is what lets you swirl without spilling, and it is the single most useful figure on this shelf — which is why the 750 ml decanters here are worth a second look.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

The listing does not say. Two items on this shelf do: the Bormioli carafe without restriction, and the Lily’s Home Tritan decanter on the top rack only, no heated cycle.

    • One of only two items on this shelf with a published decanting time — 3 to 5 minutes, through a double-layer filter
    • The filter catches sediment as well as aerating, which matters for an older red and which no plain decanter here does
    • Seven hundred and fifty milliliters for a 750 ml bottle, so the wine sits at the rim with no room to swirl

    Best for: An older red with sediment, aerated in five minutes rather than half an hour
