The unique angular neck gives a classic wine decanter design a contemporary finesse. The wide mouth and base are specially shaped for no-drip pouring and maximum aeration. Extra-large capacity will serve your finest wines and accommodate even magnums. Made of imported lead-free glass. Hand wash…
This is a great everyday decanter. The look is cool and the glass is thick on it so it's not as fragile as some of the Riedel decanters. Although I love Riedel, those were more difficult to clean b/c they were so fragile. The Captain's decanter is easy to pour, makes a nice presentation for wine and hopefully won't chip after 1 cleaning. I also liked how the wine pours INTO the decanter. i tend to have it go down the inside rim to get some additional aeration on the wine, and the angled lip really helps with that. I will say it took some wine longer to come to room temp because of the glass, but still a great value! I definitely recommend to others looking for a good, useful decanter.

This decanter really helps the wine to open up in a very modern looking design. It is a little heavy to pour carefully when it is full, but otherwise it is great!

This decanter is great because it's not as fragile as other decanted, so everyone is more apt to use it on a more regular basis. It's easier to clean because the wider mouth. The handle is shorter, so you don't get a "waterfall" effect when pouring and pour too much into someone's glass.

This decanter is a great value. I like to decant all my red wine and this decanter is perfect for everyday use. It is relatively light and easy to pour even with that sometimes tough to pour last glass. The wide mouth makes it relatively easy to clean as well. In combination with a good funnel almost any red is ready to drink in minutes.

OK price and quality. Wish it was a little bigger with more breathing space. Larger one with handle would be nice.
