Wine decanters
Decanters for wine tasting and serving
A wine decanter is made to improve the moment you pour: it gives wine more contact with air, helping aromas and flavours open up. It’s especially popular for young red wines, and it’s also useful when a bottle contains sediment - so you can pour more precisely and keep the last glass clear.
Choose a decanter based on how you drink: a wide base for faster aeration, a more compact shape for controlled pouring, or a statement design piece that stays on the table from first pour to last sip. A curated selection of design wine decanters made for tasting and serving.

Frequently asked questions about wine decanters
What is a wine decanter used for?
A wine decanter helps aerate wine, which can soften tannins and open up aromas. It’s also used to separate sediment in older red wines.
Which wines should you decant?
Many young, tannic red wines benefit from decanting. Some full-bodied whites can also open up with a short decant. Older wines may be decanted mainly to remove sediment.
How long should you decant wine?
It depends on the wine. A short decant can be enough for delicate wines, while young, structured reds may benefit from more time. Taste as you go rather than relying on one fixed rule.
Does the shape of a decanter matter?
Yes. A wider base increases the wine’s contact with air and speeds up aeration. A slimmer shape is often preferred when the goal is gentler aeration or serving with a cleaner pour.
How do you clean a wine decanter?
Rinse right after use. For narrow necks, decanter cleaning beads or a bottle brush help remove residue without scratching.
