Amazon.com Review: One of WMF's high-quality wine accessories, this glass decanter fits securely into its stainless-steel stand to resemble the classic duck shape prized for decanters. The decanter holds one 750-milliliter bottle of red wine and can be removed from the stand to sit upright on its own. A recess in the decanter's bottom permits the lower end of the stand's handle to snap firmly into the decanter so it won't slip while wine is poured. The stand's stainless steel is high-grade 18/10 polished to a mirror finish. Both decanter and stand are dishwasher-safe, but wiping with a cloth better preserves the stand's bright finish. --Fred Brack

I've had this decanter for about 10 months now and have used it regularly, 3-4 times per week. I was initially concerned about assembly, due to the other reviews, but I found it to be quite easy. Took me about 30 seconds. I gave one to a buddy and he also had no problem. Just don't rush it.
I really like the handle on the decanter - makes pouring particularly easy. And the price is great. The biggest problem I have is that after pouring, 1 drop of wine always dribbles down the outside of the decanter. Don't know if other decanters have this problem. Also, you should try ... Read More
