RIEDEL Decanter Bacchus

The handmade decanter distinguishes by an elegant and complex design. Formed freely by hand without the help of any molds by RIEDEL master glass blowers, the Bacchus decanter is extremely demanding to create, with a wide mouth for both receiving and pouring wine gradually tapering in a spiral to a curled, closed tip. True to RIEDEL’s guiding philosophy of form follows function, the Bacchus’ expansive horizontal design, which measures over 19 inches long, creates a wide bowl at the base of the decanter that maximizes the surface-to-air space allowing wine to fully open up and aerate in the vessel, while also creating an elegant, fluent silhouette making it a functional objet d'art worthy of a tabletop centerpiece. RIEDEL tip: use bottle cleaners to remove stains inside the decanter.

Decanters

There are two reasons why we decant wines:

Decant an older wine to separate it from its sediment.
Decant a younger wine to increase aeration, revealing more complexity, and opening up aromas and flavors.

On the palate, decanted wine expresses higher levels of fruit in red wines and tends to integrate and smooth out tannins.

We offer a wide range of elegant machine-blown and extravagant hand-made decanters to honor good wines with the treatment they deserve.

Every hand-made product is crafted by highly talented master glass blowers, using glass making techniques which date back more than 2000 years.
All decanters are made from fine crystal glass suitable for every lifestyle and available at every price range.

Every single decanter is a must-have for wine lovers.
