wine jug

Decanter for reds

A wine jug is a container for holding and pouring wine, typically ceramic or glass with a handle and spout.

The term often evokes rustic or traditional vessels rather than modern decanters: a terracotta wine jug from Tuscany.

In casual use, any large container used to serve wine at the table.
