I bought this for a couple reasons; 1, it's made by Riedel, and 2, because of its shape. Not only is the shape a conversation topic but it also allows the wine to breath much more than if left in the bottle. I use my decanter for EVERY bottle of red I open, regardless of age. The vast majority of the wines I drink are "young" wines and really benefit from breathing in the decanter for 2 - 5 hours.

This beautiful decanter is the best choice and the price can't be beat. It is a showcase for expensive or moderate priced wines. All the guest were truly impressed as the rich red wine cascaded down the throat and into the bowl. This is the answer to gift giving as well.

This decanter significantly improves the flavor of a low to medium priced wine and the quality of a fine wine really comes through when properly decanted. I would have purchased it sooner if I had known of the difference it would make in the taste and enjoyment of red wine. A Riedel decanter is worth the investment.
