Riedel Swan Wine Decanter, Lead Crystal Hand-Blown Decanter

Product Description

Decanting a wine serves two main purposes
- filtering out the sediment from older wines & also aerating a wine, letting it warm & breathe, immediately improving the taste of red (and some bigger white) wines. A third reason to chose a decanter is one of aesthetics: an elegant decanter is a pleasure both to look at & handle, forming a stunning centrepiece to any dining table & enhancing the experience of enjoying a fine wine. There is no more elegant bird than the Swan, so Riedel thought it only fitting that their Swan decanter should embody the same natural grace. The body of the decanter mimics the gentle curvature of the form of a Swan & wine is simply poured into the wider opening of the Swan's "tail" (which also forms a natural handle for service) then effortlessly poured into the glass from the narrow "neck". As fascinating to look at as it is functional to use, the Swan holds a standard 750ml bottle of wine.
