The new decanter carafe from Eva Solo gently decants your wine through the integrated funnel which is perforated with lots of small holes. When the wine runs through all the holes and continues down the inside of the carafe, it is subtly yet effectively aerated in the most beautiful way.

When wine is decanted or aerated it softens the tannins so they become less sharp, it rounds off the acids and it opens up the wine s fruitiness. In other words, the wine becomes more complex and acquires a fuller taste, and is therefore more pleasant to drink.

An old, mature wine needs to be decanted for just 20-30 minutes (yet there might be sediment), while a completely young wine may need several hours of aeration. By comparison, it takes about a day to aerate a bottle of wine if you just remove the cork and leave the wine in the bottle and who has time for that?

The carafe is made of mouth-blown glass with a stainless steel pouring funnel. Dishwasher-safe.
