This mini decanter was inspired by the graceful necks of swans. Wine is aerated as the liquid runs down the decanters long, slender neck, providing optimal breathing space for young and older vintages alike. As practical as it is beautiful, the distinctive shape also ensures superb balance and ease of pouring. The sparkling lead crystal, notable for its brilliant clarity, enhances the appearance of fine wines by showcasing their distinctive colors. Crafted entirely by hand, this decanter is made at Riedels family-owned glassworks in Austria. Hand-washing is recommended. Founded in 1756, Austria's Riedel Crystal is the world's premier manufacturer of wine glasses and has always catered to the fine wine connoisseur. The Riedel family has been in the glass business for 300 years, with 11 generations keeping the family business intact. In Riedel lingo, the glass is the "messenger of the wine" and each glass is a "tailored suit for the wine."
