It is often said the older the wine, the better the taste. What they fail to say is, the more you decant the wine, the better and more alienated it will be. Hence buying a good bottle of wine is not enough for you to enjoy all the notes of wine, you need a decanter. You probably know this and that’s why we have done our homework to bring you the best wine decanters in 2021.
What to look for in a wine decanter
Before we start with the business of reviewing wine decanters, let’s first look at what it takes to have a top-rated wine decanter. To the open eye, a wine decanter can often be seen as large jar with a wide base, but to you, wine lovers, it is so much more that that. Here is what you need to look at before picking your wine decanter;
The quality of the material
A decanter is only as good as the material used to make it. Some might be wondering how to check that as most of them are usually made with glass. It is pretty easy actually; a good decanter should have a relatively thick glass to avoid easy breakages. The glass should also be lead-free to ensure that the chips don’t fall into your wine. That said, you must take care of your decanter.
Sprout
This is where it gets interesting. It is not just about pouring wine into the decanter; it is also about pouring out the wine. The sprout should be asymmetrical to enable for smoother transfer.
The base
Do you want a base that stands on its own or do you want one that is supported? By answering that, you will have made considerable headways in choosing a decanter.
Budget
It goes without saying that how much you are willing to spend matters a lot. From expensive wine decanter to budget friendly ones, you get what you wish for in the market.
