Red wines often contain sediment or insoluble particles made of potassium bitartrate crystals that must be filtered out before drinking. Leaving the sediment in wine can change its flavor and prevent drinkers from enjoying it to its fullest potential. A decanter helps filter out the sediment revealing the natural flavors of the wine.

A crystal wine decanter is ideal to be used as its clear form displays the wine’s color to perfection. The Maximilian Riedel wine decanter has a unique design that allows for worry-free pouring with its deep punt that accommodates the entire thumb while the other four fingers naturally cradle the decanter. It has an extra-long lip that prevents fewer drips and makes pouring a snap. It is hand-made and mouth blown.
