Perfect!
I was about due for a new decanter and could have bought any. After searching found this decanter to be the best. Its classic shape was slightly more shallow than the one I had and most others, but not too shallow. 750ml will fill it slightly above the crest of the curvature with a little more width than usual. This exposes the maximum amount of surface area to air.
I don't think the average person bothers with wine decanters, but personally feel they can make all the difference. I can open a bottle and drink a glass, then decant the rest. After a day or so drink from the decanter and it doesn't seem like the same wine. The decanter brings out all the fine qualities.
A stopper should be purchased the same time as the decanter and from the same store to ensure proper fit.Wine Decanter Glass Stopper - Large
Wine stoppers, particularly ball-type, differ in function as compared to that of distilled spirits. It is not compulsory to remove and replace after each serving. Right or wrong, many people including myself never take it out. The ball is simply rolled back where the flat portion produces a gap between the decanter neck. You then hold the stopper in place and pour through the ball then roll back down. The weight of the stopper also adds to the balance of the decanter making it easier to handle.
I've received many compliments with this decanter and they don't know I haven't spent hundreds.

Wonderful design, and it works well
The design itself is what made me purchase this item. I like the fact that it had a wider bottem than others which causes it to look much nicer when the wine poors down the sides. I highly reccomend this product for wine enthusiasts, and for non-wine enthusiasts it's still a nice purchase for you're table. I guarantee you will get many comments on it.

Elegant and perfect
This decanter was exactly what I wanted - elegant and sleek design. The only difficult part about the decanter is pouring - you really have to tip the decanter all the way over to get the wine out. This decanter is in the league of Reidel.

Beautiful functional decanter
I saw this decanter this weekend at a Silicon Valley kitchen warming party. Everyone watched with glee as this particular German's funnel sprayed the wine out of approx. eight small holes at its base and turned this symetrical two bottle decanter red with my excellent 1999 Benziger Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. The Wine Enthusiast Aerating Wine Funnel with Removable Screen allowed more wine to flow around sediment and was easy to remove and clean. This is made of a quality stainless steel and will last for years in shinny brilliance. My wife bought a funnel at William Sonoma the next week. It has a small one inch stem spot welded onto a small screen. It fell off before its first use. I took it back and started my search on Amazon the next day for the real thing. I highly recommend this 1st class product to be purchased with this decanter. WichmanGallery
