Amazon.com Review
Made in Austria by the world's most renowned wineglass maker (Riedel Crystal, founded in 1756), this graceful decanter is blown from 24 percent lead crystal and holds one 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 adds beauty to the dinner table. With its neck wrapped by an elongated teardrop of solid crystal, the decanter stands 12-1/4 inches high on a 2-3/4-inch-diameter base and subtly tapers outward from base to shoulder so its proportions are as perfect as the crystal. Riedel crystal is used by fine restaurants all over the world and thus must stand up to frequent trips through a dishwasher. But because lead crystal has a soft surface, Riedel recommends this decanter be hand washed. --Fred Brack

Beautiful crystal. October 28, 2002

This is a beautiful piece of glassware that adds a touch of class to any table. However...and this is a significant however...a good decanter should be as broad as possible at the level at which a full bottle of wine will fill it. The idea is to have as large an air-to-wine interface as possible, so as to let as much wine as possible "breathe". This of course is not terribly important for whites and better reds, but younger red wines benefit considerably from being decanted for an hour before they are drunk. Therefore, I suggest this decanter be reserved for whites and reds that are "ready".
