Riedel Vinum Extreme 35-1/4-Ounce Decanter

I purchased this for red wine. The decanter is beautiful, but expensive. I find that I don’t use it that much, it takes up to much room on the table. I should have purchased a tall decanter.

Soothing to hear, relaxing, what can be better? It’s music to my ears. I keep up the music and the passion

A real showpiece

We bought this several years ago as our other “normal” decanter was to large and one bottle of wine looked pretty lonely in it, though we do still use it for larger gatherings. This decanter holds exactly one bottle of wine and looks fantastic when the light hits it and brings out the colors of the wine.

It is a full 12″ long so if space is a problem this might not be for you. When the wine is gone I rinse it immediately in cool water (no soap)dry off the outside and turn it upside down to dry. Sometimes I roll a paper towel and slide it inside the handle to absorb any extra moisture and keep it from spotting. I am still looking for a drying rack for a duck decanter this size but frankly I don’t think they make them that tall. Other than a quick swipe to keep dust off it that is all the care it takes.

I keep this on the counter and empty or full it never fails to raise comments on its unique beauty.
