Decanting wine, the process of pouring out of the bottle into glass wine carafes, is about improving the flavour. It does not have to be expensive high-quality wine as all wines improve with aeration. Aeration is the process that allows the wine to ‘breathe’. This involves letting your wine interact with oxygen, which mellows the tannins and encourages the taste and aroma to develop.
Using a red wine carafe can create a beautiful effect at a dinner table. The red reflecting through the glittering glass carafe is an attractive sight. The shapes and sizes of our wine carafes vary, with traditional and contemporary designs. Whichever you choose, they all encourage the oxygenation of your selected bottle. You may also wish to consider one of our wine carafes with lids. Having a stopper helps to seal in the flavour until you are ready to serve it. While wine needs aeration, too much and it will start to deteriorate, so a stopper helps prevent this between servings.
