Product Description Claus Riedel changed the world of wine with his revolutionary concept of functional wine stemware and decanting. He was the first designer to recognize that the bouquet, taste, balance and finish of wines are affected by the shape of the decanter and glass from which they are drunk.The Cabernet decanter by Riedel is fashioned from machine blown 24% lead crystal. Its elegant shape feels good to hold, looks trendy and it works – making it an ideal decanter for every day use and for every occasion.This stylish decanter makes an ideal gift for others or for yourself!Check out our complete range of Riedel decanters and glassware. 9-1/8 inches h. – 37.5 ozAmazon.com Review Made in Austria by the world’s most-renowned wineglass maker (Riedel Crystal, founded in 1756), this decanter allows sediment to settle, clarifying any older red wine. Even with a young, sediment-free wine, the decanter makes a beautiful serving vessel by displaying the wine’s color. It’s machine blown of brilliant 24 percent lead crystal and conforms to Riedel’s exacting standards: colorless, transparent, and thin-walled. It holds 37-1/8 ounces, ample for a 750-milliliter bottle of wine, and measures 9 inches high. Its graceful, outwardly curved neck provides a secure grip when pouring. Riedel crystal is used by fine restaurants all over the world and thus must stand up to frequent trips through a dishwasher. But because lead crystal has a soft, coarse surface to convey intense aromas, Riedel recommends the decanter be hand washed. –Fred Brack
