5.0 out of 5 stars Not the Most Beautiful, But Functional and Affordable This decanter is a great value for under $15 if it arrives in one piece. The thin carboard box it came in contained no padding, so the glass was able to bounce around freely. Thankfully the glass is thick enough, so that it isn’t too fragile and the Amazon packaging can compensate. The quality of the bottle is fairly good and I wouldn’t be ashamed to leave it sitting at the table with dinner guests. The visible seems in the glass clearly indicate a mass produced item. The glass stopper is hollow with a plastic covered base that provides for a snug, air tight fit.I paired this decanter with the WMF Vino Stainless-Steel 4-Way Funnel and they work perfectly together. The neck of the decanter is wide enough to receive the base of the funnel and the wine has plenty of room to gently cascade down the sides of the bottle. A 750 ml bottle of wine easily fits in and there is still enough surface area to allow the wine to breathe. You will not get an entire magnum 1.5l bottle in this decanter.I like the shape of this decanter more than the popular style with the wide base. You don’t have to tip it almost upside down to get the last glass of wine out. I would recommend wrapping a towel or napkin around the neck to catch that single drop of wine that always tends to remain on the lip.Cheers! 15 people found this helpful
