poor design - shame on Riedel

I was very excited to receive this beautiful decanter as a gift - and we tried to use it right away. Unfortunately, a serious design flaw became apparent. The last of the wine would not pour out without turning the decanter completely upside down - which then sprays wine all around the counter or table. Either Riedel has a bad design for this decanter - or whoever actually manufactured this product did not follow the correct design. Very disappointed!

This was a gift for my boyfriend who love his wine toys. Riedel products are the majority of what he owns so I just thought to follow that trend. The product was as well crafted as expected but what really surprised me was how easy it was to clean. I had expected to need some kind of instrument to dry the inside of the decanter but instead, every drop of water poured out. All you have to do is turn it over and the inside is completely dry! A great purchase, I would certainly buy another one for myself.

Maybe we need practice pouring from this kind of a carafe, as this lovely product should not drip!

Great Gift for your Enemies

Pros

  • Attractive Design

  • Spills
  • Awkward To Use

Best Uses

Pours fine until the last glass. Tipping the decanter enough to get the last glass of wine out will cause the wine to go through the narrow part completely around so that it runs out all around the opening. This dribbles all around the glass and luckily for me on the counter. And this happened the second time when I knew the problem and I was trying to be very careful.
