Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of WMF Easy Pour Decanter
Customer Review: Great form, function AND price!
Summary: 5 Stars
I grew up around wine and realize how much difference decanting can make. Most "company" reviews will tell you that decanting is great for old wines for aeration and containing sediment but why I am such a big decanting fanatic is that it can greatly enliven the flavor and body of those "young" wines that fit the budget a little better.Sure, this isn't high end crystal, but it still serves its purpose in an attractive manner and you don't have to worry so much about dropping it (as long as it's empty!).
Considered rating four instead of five stars, but only because it isn't the magnum size (which holds two bottles of that favorite red).
Customer Review: Best value for money
Summary: 4 Stars
The decanter really works and it opens up the wine regardless if its an old vintage or a a young wine. You have to somewhat get use to pouring of the wine. When pouring wine into the decanter you need to do it gently else it easily spills out. I also use a wine funnel and it works great. The same goes when pouring the wine off the decanter especially when you getting down to the last glass. You nearly have to tilt the decanter upright to get the last drop out. Overall I am very happy with it for the price I paid. I like to give it 4.5 star but not sure how to add the half star.Customer Review: Good looking, maximum aeration, great price!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good looking decanter, and the punt at the bottom makes it unusual. One 750 ml bottle reaches about the widest portion of the decanter, so this decanter provides maximum aeration. Finally, the price is great! Can't find anything nearly as nice for even close to the price. While this is not crystal -- and if you leave your wine or port in the decanter for very long, you should not use lead crystal, as the lead can leach into the wine -- it is still very nice to look at. Highly recommendedCustomer Review: Just okay
Summary: 3 Stars
I was eager to get this decanter based on the great reviews. However, the quality of the glass is just okay. Perhaps not surprising based on the low price. Mine has a very obvious bubble near the top of the neck. Also, the glass is VERY thick and this creates suboptimal pouring tendencies. There is some dripping. As another reviewer noted, it is difficult to get all the wine out. Even pouring when the decanter is half full is challenging, involving inverting the decanter nearly upside down.Customer Review: One Little problem
Summary: 3 Stars
Ok here is the problem with this one. First off all it's very good if you will decant a wine lets say in a afternoon to drink it in the evening, because the neck is very narrow it gives enough air through long period of time, but not to much to get it spoiled. But if you decant a wine lets say 30min or an hour like most people will do before the dinner, get something that has a wide opening/neck. But overall it's a good decanter, and it's easy to pour out of it.
