Professional Review:
One of WMF's high-quality wine accessories, this glass decanter fits securely into its stainless-steel stand to resemble the classic duck shape prized for decanters. The decanter holds one 750-milliliter bottle of red wine and can be removed from the stand to sit upright on its own. A recess in the decanter's bottom permits the lower end of the stand's handle to snap firmly into the decanter so it won't slip while wine is poured. The stand's stainless steel is high-grade 18/10 polished to a mirror finish. Both decanter and stand are dishwasher-safe, but wiping with a cloth better preserves the stand's bright finish. --Fred Brack

   Summary: Heavy user loves it
I've had this decanter for about 10 months now and have used it regularly, 3-4 times per week. I was initially concerned about assembly, due to the other reviews, but I found it to be quite easy. Took me about 30 seconds. I gave one to a buddy and he also had no problem. Just don't rush it.

I really like the handle on the decanter - makes pouring particularly easy. And the price is great. The biggest problem I have is that after pouring, 1 drop of wine always dribbles down the outside of the decanter. Don't know if other decanters have this problem. Also, you should try to find a way to invert it after washing to dry out so it doesn't leave any minerals in the bottom.

OK, back to a deliciously jammy Zin breathing away in my duck.

   Summary: Works nice if you can solve it
Attaching this decanter to its stand is like trying to solve a Rubik's puzzle. The solution is rather less graceful, however, and I think I came within a hair of shattering the thing into a million pieces -- it did get scratched. Recalling the metaphysical injunction against disturbing a solved Rubik's Cube, I intend to keep my decanter and stand attached forevermore.

Once assembled, the unit has almost the ideal design for its purpose. The angle at which the stand holds the decanter leaves ample space for a candle underneath to highlight sediment when pouring. This angle and the shape of the neck and mouth prevent any splashing outside the decanter unless one pours very vigorously. (Unfortunately, however, the decanter is prone to dripping when poured from.) The most pleasant aspect of the design is that the arc of the neck manages to keep all traces of sediment in the decanter through to the very last drops of wine.

The price is right because the decanter is glass rather than lead crystal. Although it is thicker and perhaps less elegant, this appears a wise alternative given concerns that have been credibly raised about beverages leeching lead from prolonged contact with lead crystal.

   Summary: style and quality
I purchased this item last christmas and have used it to airate many red wines. I have had no issues with the decanture being delicate. Infact we machine wash it after each use. The only issue I have had is when we first recieved the decanture we had difficulty placing the dacanture in the stand correctly. Other than that it is a wonderfully stylish piece of glassware when not being used and a quality redwine decanture.

   Summary: Pretty but too Delitcate
I bought this item as a holiday gift. It is a very beautiful piece and is artisitcally designed well. When we went to set it in its stand, however, the lip of the neck brushed the wire frame and chipped! I was shocked that it broke so easily. It's possible that they connected at just the right point and it was mere coincidence, but I am not getting another one to find out. Beware!
