Perfect for decanting your favorite vino, this WMF Easy Pour Decanter features a classic wide base shape with an elegant curved neck. The indented well on the bottom allows for careful, one-handed pouring, by providing a place to secure your middle finger for a great grip. Decanting exposes the wine to more surface area and oxygen, allowing the wine to open up to its full potential, thus bringing out the very best qualities of the nose and flavor.
Made of lead-free glass, this classic decanter holds one 750-milliliter bottle of wine. While the most common use of a decanter is to prevent sediment in an aged red wine from spoiling the wine's clarity and brilliance, some authorities also recommend decanting young red wines to give them the opportunity to bloom. In either case, this decanter brings elegance to the dinner table. And because it has an indented well in the bottom, steady, careful pouring is possible, as fingers fit securely into the well while the thumb grips atop the decanter's flared base. Standing 9 inches high on a 9-inch-diameter base, the decanter serves beautifully as a vase when it's not being used for wine. --Fred Brack

Great decanter for the price:
This decanter is very pretty and aerates wine nicely. It is definitely worth it's price.
The only negative is that when you pour the last of the wine you have to completely invert the decanter and it has a tenancy to spill a bit.
The perfect decanter.:
This decanter is perfectly proportioned. Pouring an entire 750ml bottle of wine into the decanter brings the level of liquid to widest part of the decanter. Perfect for exposing the most amount of surface area to air for decanting. If I have 1 complaint about this product (though it isn't enough to reduce the rating), is that the edges aren't rolled and wine will always drip down the sides after pouring unless you have a towel or your tongue ready.
OK:
OK decanter, bought it for my girlfriends parents, they loved it. I did open the package after it arrived to make sure everything was fine. It has a small engravement on the side from the manufacturer that looks fine. It also had, to my surprise, a MADE IN ROMANIA sticker. I think thats the first time I see something made in romania lol. Well it fits half a bittle and for the price you can't go wrong. Didn't look like the cheapest glass that would break easy.
Best value for money:
The decanter really works and it opens up the wine regardless if its an old vintage or a a young wine. You have to somewhat get use to pouring of the wine. When pouring wine into the decanter you need to do it gently else it easily spills out. I also use a wine funnel and it works great. The same goes when pouring the wine off the decanter especially when you getting down to the last glass. You nearly have to tilt the decanter upright to get the last drop out. Overall I am very happy with it for the price I... more info
