Riedel decanters combine sophistication and elegance with optimal shapes for aeration. Decanting old wines, just a few moments before they are served, helps to ensure that the wine's clarity and brilliance are not obscured by any deposit that may have developed over time. Decanting young wines several hours before they are served gives the wine a chance to bloom and attain a stage of development that normally requires years of aging.

Riedel Cornetto Single Wine Decanter invokes the graceful silhouette of a swan. The glass artists at Riedel Glassware have created a real beauty with this hand-sculpted 24% lead crystal wine decanter.

"I prefer to decant wines, both young and old. It is a sign of respect for old wines and a sign of confidence in young wines."
