wine carafe

Table wine vessel

A wine carafe is a glass container used to serve wine, typically with a wide body and narrow neck.

Unlike a decanter, which is designed to aerate wine and separate sediment over time, a carafe is simpler—often without a stopper—and used mainly for presentation or serving house wine at restaurants: The waiter brought a carafe of the house red.
