Riedel Cabernet Decanter

Product Information

For one of the buyers, this decanter is the coolest one ever. According to him, it does make wine taste so much better. It also easily gets the guests' attention in a drinking wine event. Why We Think It’s Great The historic RIEDEL lettering features at the center. Inspired by Art Nouveau, it was the signet for all products between 1890 and 1925, then reintroduced in 1996 to mark RIEDEL's 240th anniversary. One of the things to consider when buying a decanter is if it is dishwasher safe or not. Most decanters are made from glass, so even if some of the decanters are labeled as dishwasher safe, sometimes it is still recommended to opt for handwashing. While this piece will make a big splash at your next dinner party, it won’t make a mess on your table: The set includes a stainless steel drip tray to catch any potential spills. Be careful, though. The delicate glass aerators sit precariously on the wood frame, making them able to dislodge if bumped. Despite the orbs and spirals of thin glass, the system is easy to clean with warm, soapy water, assuming you do so shortly after use.

Céline Bossart is a longtime wine writer who has seen, shopped for, and used plenty of decanters. While they’re a must-have for any wine drinker, she does not recommend traveling with them. All Riedel glasses are born out of comparative tasting sessions (rather than on a drawing board), where a panel of judges vote on what shape they consider performs the best. Expert winemakers and sommeliers carefully analyse the experience of drinking wine in different shapes of glasses.
