Decanting wine is a wonderful way to showcase your vintages as well as helping them to aerate. It also has beautiful visual appeal, especially with the extensive amount of well designed decanters out there. This handly little funnel will help you with your decanting...making it easy and splash free. The very cool curved pouring spout decants wine gently with no splashing. It also includes a filter so you don't add any of the grit from the bottom of the bottle into your decanter. This Silver Decanting Funnel is a great little gift to you or someone else...consider adding it to one of the beautiful decanters well offer from Riedel. It also comes with a protective storage pouch. Made in Italy.
