Handmade lead-free decanters are designed to decant wine for several hours before serving. This ensures the full development of the bouquet and allows the wine to reach a degree of ripeness, which would otherwise only be achieved through long-term storage.
Aeration – allows the wine to "breathe". The decanter is designed to mimic the swirling effects of a wine glass to stimulate oxidation
processes that trigger the release of more aromatic compounds.
Aesthetic value – enhances the visual experience of the participants.
