What the maker puts in writing

  • Shatterproof BPA-free Tritan — will not break even if dropped outdoors
  • About 48 ounces, nearly 2 full standard bottles
  • For reds and whites; curved body, sturdy bottom
  • Dishwasher safe, top rack only, not suitable for a heated cycle
  • Hand wash gently, no abrasives or scouring pads

Two hundred and seventy-two grams

The heaviest decanter on this shelf weighs 907 g (32 oz). This one weighs less than a third of that, and it bounces.

That is the entire argument for it, and it is a good one: a decanter is a thin-walled glass object full of red wine that lives on the edge of tables.

The cost of unbreakable

It scratches. Hence the instructions: top rack, no heat, no scouring pad, no abrasive detergent.

Glass has none of those restrictions and the cheapest item on this shelf is Italian glass that takes a full hot cycle. Pick by where the decanter will stand, not by what it is made of.

What readers ask us

Does plastic affect the wine?

Tritan is BPA-free and used for drinkware generally; the maker claims it looks like glass. Wine sits in a decanter for under an hour, which is a different exposure from storage. What you lose is the weight and the ring of glass, not the taste.

What does 48 oz give me?

About 1,419 ml — nearly two bottles, per the maker. That makes it the one decanter here that takes a magnum in a single pour, and it leaves huge headroom with a single bottle.

How carefully must I wash it?

Top rack, no heated cycle, and by hand without abrasives. Tritan clouds when it is scrubbed or baked. The Bormioli carafe on this shelf takes a full dishwasher cycle and costs $3.96 less.
