wine decanter

Sommelier's glass pitcher

A wine decanter is a glass vessel used to aerate wine or separate it from sediment before serving.

The wide body and narrow neck expose wine to air, softening tannins and releasing aromas.

Decanters range from simple carafes to ornate crystal pieces: She poured the Bordeaux into a decanter to let it breathe.
