Quite often, decanters are used to serve wine - glass carafes of various shapes and sizes, but united by one function - to improve the taste and quality of the wine before pouring it into glasses. If the wine is mature, then it is necessary to decant it to separate it from the sediment, and if it is young, then to improve its taste by intensive oxygenation. Oxygen accelerates the oxidation process of wine, significantly improving taste and aroma.
Decanters can be glass or crystal; they can be either factory-made or hand-made; the shapes of decanters can be different and original, so they are quite capable of decorating the setting of any holiday table.
