Serving or enjoying a good red wine is one of the finer pleasures in life. Make sure your favorite Cabernet can properly breathe with the Riedel Classic Machine-Blown Fine Crystal Glass Cabernet Red Wine Decanter. Riedel believes that any wine, whether it be red, white, sparkling, young or old, can be enhanced with a quality decanter. Decanting separates the wine from the sediment, which not only looks nice in your glass, but also makes the wine taste more astringent. Slowly and carefully decanting the wine ensures the sediment stays in the bottle and you get a nice clear wine in the decanter and subsequently in your glass. As the wine is slowly poured from the bottle to the decanter it takes in oxygen, which helps open up the aromas and flavors. This is especially beneficial for Cabernet wines, which is why this decanter was specifically designed for them.
