Riedel "O" Series Crystal Wine Decanter

From Austria, this elegant wine decanter is made of lead crystal and offers a unique way in which to serve your wine. At the bottom of the decanter is an indentation where your thumb can be placed. With your thumb resting there, use your other fingers to grasp the bottom of the decanter. With a firm yet gentle grip, tip the decanter forward for pouring into wine glasses. Decanting is particularly nice when you want to enhance the clarity and brilliance of aged wines or when you want to serve a younger wine - it allows the wine to bloom, a stage of development that normally requires years of aging.
