The most important function of any decanter is to ensure that wine is properly aerated before serving. The Ravenscroft Breathing Decanter allows young wines to reach their fullest potential by increasing the wine surface-to-air ratio after a pour. The shape of the Breathing Decanter lets the wine swirl freely during the pour, further activating oxidizing properties. As with all of Ravenscroft''s fine crystal wine products, the Breathing Decanter is handcrafted from the finest lead-free crystal in Europe. Handmade. Lead-free. Hand wash only.
