Understanding The Facets Of The Crystal Wine Decanter

By Thelma Kent


For centuries and centuries wine has been consumed. One of the more interesting aspects of this consumption is that it has not varied very much - people still do it for relaxing, as well as for increased social interaction. The decanting of this drink is simply the transferring of it from one vessel to another. For example, the crystal wine decanter has become one of the more popular types of vessels in recent years.

The material is similar to the drink in many regards. It, too, has remained a constant in the last few hundreds of years. The way it reflects light, creating a sense of wonder; the way it conveys a sense of intelligence at a single glance.

When looking at the best attributes of a product like this, one of the more important features is the wide neck. Here, the neck widens enough to allow for more efficient decanting and pouring. Moving downward, the design elongates into a wide berth, allowing for perfect aeration.

Without a doubt one of the hardest thing to do when decanting is cleaning the used vessel. The neck is very narrow and is made of crystal, making it very difficult to clean. Furthermore, because the bottom is so wide and can stain easily, things become that much more painful.

Consider a few tips when cleaning up after the decanting process. For instance, you may want to protect the neck by laying a towel at the bottom of a sink. Also, always wash the outside of this product with dish detergent and lukewarm water.

The best crystal wine decanter will come down to personal preference. Decide what appeals to you the most, as well as how much you care about affordability, or style. In the end, it will come down to the research you do before hand.
