We liked how easy it was to pour wine from the lightweight design but still found it sturdy enough that she didn't fear breaking it.
While this decanter is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended (we found it easy to wash, but drying was a bit trickier). To help with this, the sturdy neck makes pouring easy, while the slanted spout minimizes drips. The large base also means any sediment from the wine doesn’t end up in your glass. This lightweight decanter can hold up to 32 ounces, but a standard 750-milliliter bottle will fill the base to its widest point. This attractive decanter from Le Chateau is hand-blown and formed from lead-free crystal, so no impurities will get into your wine. When the base is filled, the wine’s large surface allows maximum exposure to oxygen for proper aeration. An angled spout, long neck, and wide base is a popular shape for wine decanters, and for good reason.
