Product Description: WMF Easy Pour hand blown glass wine decanter. Decanting is the process of pouring wine from a bottle into a carafe and is recommended for red wines. The main reason for this is to separate the clear wine from the deposit at the bottom of the bottle (influencing the quality of the wine). During the transfer the wine comes into contact with oxygen and can develop its bouquet better.
Amazon.com Review: Made of lead-free glass, this classic decanter holds one 750-milliliter bottle of wine. While the most common use of a decanter is to prevent sediment in an aged red wine from spoiling the wine's clarity and brilliance, some authorities also recommend decanting young red wines to give them the opportunity to bloom. In either case, this decanter brings elegance to the dinner table. And because it has an indented well in the bottom, steady, careful pouring is possible, as fingers fit securely into the well while the thumb grips atop the decanter's flared base. Standing 9 inches high on a 9-inch-diameter base, the decanter serves beautifully as a vase when it's not being used for wine. --Fred Brack

Rating: - wine decanter
It does a good job of aerating wine, is easy to handle, nice to look at. The "dimple" on the bottom creates stability.
Rating: - Deacanter
The product showed up very well packaged and unbroken. It showed up quickly even though we used super-saver freight. The product itself is great looking and actually works the way it's suppose to.
Rating: - Just okay
I was eager to get this decanter based on the great reviews. However, the quality of the glass is just okay. Perhaps not surprising based on the low price. Mine has a very obvious bubble near the top of the neck. Also, the glass is VERY thick and this creates suboptimal pouring tendencies. There is some dripping. As another reviewer noted, it is difficult to get all the wine out. Even pouring when the decanter is half full is challenging, involving inverting the decanter nearly upside down.
Rating: - decanter
the decanter is extremely functional and elegant, and the price is right. one small quibble. it had a "made in Romania" sticker on it which was rather unsightly and very difficult to remove.
Rating: - Great Decanter.
Nice quality glass decanter for the price. It's easy to pour, and does help aerates the wine so that it can be drunk sooner...no need for a long wait for it to breathe. Finally, it looks great and makes drinking wine feel like a special occasion every time it is used.
