Know before you buy

Due to the premium crystal glass construction and the natural cork base, we recommend hand washing the carafe. The cork base should be wiped clean with a damp cloth and kept dry to maintain its integrity.
While designed specifically for wine aeration, the carafe can certainly be used to serve other beverages. However, the swirling function is most effective for oxygenating red wines that benefit from breathing.
