Baccarat Oenology Decanter

Younger wines often need more oxygen to open up and soften their tannins. The wide base of this decanter provides a large surface area, which accelerates aeration and helps the wine's complex aromas and flavors develop more quickly before you pour.

This decanter holds approximately 50.714 ounces, which is more than enough to comfortably accommodate a standard 750ml bottle of wine with plenty of room for effective aeration.

The decanter stands at 10.63 inches tall. It is designed to be a functional piece that fits easily on most dining tables without obstructing the view of guests.

While it is engineered specifically to aerate young wines, it can be used for older vintages if you are careful. However, because older wines are more delicate and sensitive to oxygen, you should decant them gently and for a shorter period to avoid over-exposure.

To preserve the clarity and brilliance of the crystal, hand washing with warm water and a mild detergent is recommended. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, and always dry it immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots.
