Know before you buy
The decanter consists of a main glass vessel and a separate ice reservoir insert. You can fill the reservoir with ice to chill your wine without diluting it, or remove the insert entirely if you prefer to use the decanter as a standard vessel.
Yes, it is designed for both. The ice reservoir is particularly useful for keeping white wines chilled or bringing red wines down to a proper cellar temperature, which is often cooler than room temperature.
While the crystal is elegant and clear, it should be handled with care to avoid chips. We recommend hand-washing the decanter with warm water and a mild detergent to maintain its clarity and prevent clouding.
The reservoir is designed to sit within the decanter without obstructing the wine's surface area, allowing for effective aeration. It provides the dual benefit of temperature control and oxygen exposure simultaneously.
The reservoir is sized to accommodate standard ice cubes or crushed ice. For the best results, we recommend using smaller ice cubes or crushed ice to maximize the surface area contact for faster cooling.
