Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Riedel Cabernet Decanter
Customer Review: I bought a second one
Summary: 5 Stars
This decanter handily holds 750 ml (one bottle), but it has the most surface area at 375 ml. So if you are wanting a decanter to get rid of bottle sediment or just to be used as a serving implement, this is great. And cheap, too.If you want to get the maximum aeration, you'll have to choose a different decanter.
I recently bought a second one, and was interested to see how rose-colored my first one is in comparison to the second one. These are inexpensive, so it is probably worth it to have one that you reserve for whites and one you use for reds. It's very hard to clean the red wine color out, even using a bottle brush.
Customer Review: Great for wine and other uses
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, it is made to be a decanter for half bottles, but yes it does easily hold a full bottle. What I use this decanter for is to have a nice presentation of the wine at dinner. So, I decant it then pour 2 to 4 glasses, and the rest of the wine sits in the decanter on the table until it is consummed. If you use it in the same manner, you do not have to worry about the size (but again, it fits an entire bottle so do not fret about size unless you need maximum air contact). I also bought a second one and use it as a water pitcher to have at the table, and guests love it.Customer Review: half bottle decanter perfect size
Summary: 5 Stars
This decanter was well packaged and arrived quickly. I gave it as a gift to some wine loving friends. They had admired ours previously and we new that this would be good gift. Most decanters are too big for the table, too big for two people who may not drink a whole bottle in one night. This small size airs half bottle elegantly. It cleans easier than a big decanter and take far less space to store due to its smaller base. A practical wine gift.Customer Review: A MULTI USE ITEM
Summary: 5 Stars
This lovely Riedel decanter is perfect for one bottle of wine - it shows the color of the wine clearly and intensely. It's a wonderful addition to your table.In addition, when not in use as a decanter it makes an attractive vase. It is approximately 9" tall so is perfect for end table floral arrangements.
It would make a welcome gift for any occasion.
Customer Review: Small decanter -- definitely not designed for full bottles.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a lovely decanter -- but it was never meant for serving a full bottle. I use it to serve not-so-leftover wines (the Vacu-vin is great) or when one person wants red and another wants white. It also holds the rest of the bottle after the first glasses are poured (or if you poured from a large bottle or jug) -- and it looks much nicer on the table.
