Decanters for wine

Wine decanters are special vessels for serving noble drinks. They differ from ordinary jugs and decanters in their special convex shape with a narrow neck. This is necessary to saturate the wine with oxygen, which allows it to reveal amazing notes of taste.

Decanting has two main purposes. The first is aeration of the drink, because in the bottle contact with oxygen still remains minimal. If you pour the wine into a decanter, due to the wider neck it is more quickly saturated with air, which allows you to smooth out the slightly harsh taste. The second is removing sediment.

Noble, aged wines should be decanted, since over several years of storage, wine sediment accumulates in the drink, which is considered a good sign.

Types of wine decanters

Special vessels for wine come in two main varieties:

• with a funnel-shaped neck and thickened lower part - used for aeration of red wine;
• with a narrow neck and a spherical lower part - for aged wines.

Stylish decanters will decorate the table and serve drinks effectively.

Features when choosing

It is better to choose a decanter according to the purpose for which you plan to use it. The shape of the vessel depends on this. It is customary to pour young or aged wines with a pungent odor into wide spherical decanters for aeration to quickly soften the taste.

The product can be glass or crystal, but in any case the material must remain transparent so that it is possible to see the color of the exquisite drink and the presence of sediment.

The Complex-Bar online store offers options for decanters and aerators of various shapes and volumes. Among the proposals you can definitely find a stylish option for decorating a feast.
