Product Description: Crafted of polished stainless steel, this decanting funnel makes pouring wine from a bottle into a carafe so, so much easier. Simply rest the funnel in the neck, insert the filter to catch any dregs and sediment, and pour! There are eight tiny holes in the "stem" which aerate the wine as it is poured. This funnel could also be used for straining sauces, mulled cider and more.
Amazon.com Review: One of WMF's high-quality wine tools, this wide-mouth stainless-steel funnel is ideal for decanting red wine into a crystal serving vessel. It has a removable fine-mesh strainer for filtering out impurities and eight tiny holes in the neck to aerate the wine. Contemporary European in style, the funnel is heavy and handsome, and the stainless steel is high-grade 18/10 polished to a mirror finish. It measures 3-1/2 inches in diameter. --Fred Brack

Rating: - Great funnel
I have been using the funnel regularly since I bought it as I have many aged bottles that require decanting.
It really does a great job
Rating: - Pretty nice, but not perfect.
This funnel is pretty nice. The holes at the bottom cause the wine to cascade gently down the sides of a decanter. The finish is nice, and it fits well into my decanter. It will not fit into a bottle of wine, for those who like to decant and then re-bottle. My only gripe is that it is made by joining two pieces together--the upper dome-shaped part and the neck. A small pool of wine collects where these 2 pieces are joined. After decanting the wine, one needs to be careful with the funnel or a small amount of wine will spill.
Rating: - A Must Have..Like My Grandfather Used
I don't really have any other insight to this funnel than has been said already...but my Italian Grandfather used something like this over 100 years ago for his home made red wine and I have followed in his footsteps. I remember him pouring wine out of a huge barrel through a spicket and putting it in a hand made glass decanter through a similar funnel. I didn't realize until much later in my life what he was doing...it aerated the wine, trapped some sediment, and got it ready to breathe in the decanter, right before dinner...like I now do with EVERY bottle of red wine I drink. You won't believe ... Read More
Rating: - Form and function !!
Very useful for aerating and filtering red wines. Did a quick taste test with a bottle of red that needed to breathe. Poured some directly onto a glass and filtered the rest. The filtered wine did taste better straight away. Good product and it looks cool too !!
Rating: - A must have
If you are into wine decanting, this WMF funnel/filter is a must have. My son and daughter-in-law are into wine and wanted to start decanting. I purchased 3 different decanters and this funnel/filter for them for Christmas. I, who knows nothing about wine, noticed the difference. More importantly, my son and his wife noticed a big difference! They used the funnel & filter to pour the wine into the decanter. You could see remnants of sediment in the filter after they poured the wine. The wine had a smoother feel to it as I drank it. It didn't have a slight bite like wines poured straight ... Read More
