Know before you buy
No, the RIEDEL Black Tie Decanter is not dishwasher safe. Due to its delicate, handmade crystal construction, it must be hand-washed carefully to maintain its clarity and integrity.
The smaller opening is primarily aesthetic, adding a sophisticated design element to the piece. The wide mouth is the primary opening used for both pouring wine into the decanter and serving it into glasses.
This decanter is specifically designed to hold a single 750ml bottle of wine. While it has a capacity of 25 ounces, filling it beyond a standard bottle may limit the surface area needed for proper aeration.
The black crystal stripe is integrated into the glass design and does not impact the flavor or texture of your wine. Because it is part of the crystal structure, it does not require special cleaning, though you should avoid using abrasive brushes that could scratch the surface.
No, this piece is crafted from fine crystal glass, which contains lead. This material is chosen for its superior clarity and brilliance, which are hallmarks of Riedel's handmade collections.
To remove sediment, pour the wine slowly and steadily into the wide mouth of the decanter while keeping an eye on the bottle's neck. Stop pouring as soon as you see the sediment reach the neck of the bottle, leaving the solids behind.
