These 10 Wine Decanters Will All Your Bottles—Fancy Or Cheap—Taste Even Better

A bottle of Merlot is a good hostess gift. A bottle of merlot paired with this decanter makes for a great hostess gift. The shape works best for medium-bodied red wines; so for fans of Dolcetto, Sangiovese, and of course Merlot, consider this the gift that keeps on giving.

Full-bodied wines like Cabernet Sauvignon, Tannat, and Monastrell take the longest to aerate because they typically have more tannins. That's why an wide-base decanter like this one is best—it allows more oxygen to get in, which speeds up the decanting process.

This crystal decanter comes with a built-in handle to make pouring easier...because no one wants to be the one to spill the freshly decanted wine.

That little chamber that comes inside the glass isn't just a funky design choice. It actually aerates your wine as you pour it in the glass, by releasing smaller streams through spigots and exposing it to oxygen. Aaaand, we just found your new favorite wine glasses. 

Light-bodied wines—your zinfandel and pinot noir—taste the best after they've been decanted into a small to medium-sized vessel. You technically don't need to decant white and rosé wines, but if you have them often you can always serve them in a chilled decanter like this one.

This decanter fronts as a piece of modern art, but its abstract shape actually has a purpose. The double chambers (two openings) allow your wine to aerate twice as fast.

The long neck on this decanter—which is stunningly simple and sleek, no?—will help your wine aerate faster, but the stopper will save you from some unpleasant red wine stains.

This decanter can hold a full bottle of wine, but it's more petite than many of its competitors. So, just one glass for the evening won't look out of place poured in here.

Not a fan of old-world charm? Check this out. The thoroughly modern design latches onto an standard bottle neck. Once connected, flip it, so the decanter sits flat on a surface and the bottle empties into it. From there, you can either drink from the decanter or flip it right-side up to pour the aerated wine back into its bottle.

Getting a kitchen sponge inside of a wine decanter can be, well, near impossible. This gorgeous glass pieces comes with specially-designed cleaning tools, including a brush, cleaning beads, and a scratch-resistant drying rack.
