• Riedel wholeheartedly believes all wines - young and old, red, white, or sparkling - can be enhanced by decanting. There are two reasons why we decant wines: decant an older wine to separate it from its sediment. Decant a younger wine to increase aeration, revealing more complexity, and opening up aromas and flavors. On the palate, decanted wine expresses higher levels of fruit than red wines and tends to integrate and smooth out tannins. We offer a wide range of elegant machine-blown and extravagant hand-made decanters to honor good wines with the treatment deserve. Every hand-made product is crafted by highly talented master glass blowers, using glass-making techniques which date back more than 2000 years. All decanters are made from crystal glass suitable for every lifestyle and available at every price range. Every single decanter is a must-have for wine lovers.
• Ideal for: Casual dinners, birthday gifts
• Riedel recommends: Using bottle cleaners to remove stains from the decanter
• Caring for your Riedel crystal: Riedel glasses are dishwasher safe. Riedel exclusively recommends Miele. To avoid stains: Use soft water (low mineral content). To avoid scratches: Avoid glass contact with other glass or metal. To remove stains: use white vinegar. If available use a stemware rack. If washing by hand: Wash the glass under warm water (use detergent and rinse the glass carefully). Glass polishing: Use two polishing cloths, never hold the glass by the base to polish the bowl. Stem snap: Occurs through mishandling = torque or bend pressure at the stem. Storage: Avoid glass storage in kitchen cabinets that have strong aromas that translate into glass. Microfiber Polishing Cloth: Wash at boiling temperature (to kill bacteria) with odorless soap. Should be machine washed at min. 170° F/75° C. Never use fabric softener when rinsing your microfiber polishing cloth (avoids grease film on the surface).
