5 out of 5 stars Great Deal!   January 30, 2010
Michelle L. Smith (CT)
I work on a delux cruise ship where you get the best of the best in wine accessories. Since I cant afford the $450 decanter we use, I found the closest looking one. Looks great, shipped great, and great price. Bought 2 :)


5 out of 5 stars GREAT decanter!!!   July 16, 2009
Michael Shane Bridges (Eatonton, GA)
You just can't beat this decanter for the money. I ordered it as a birthday gift for my girlfriend and she loved it!! It's both elegant and highly functional.


5 out of 5 stars Already broken   June 27, 2009
JoeVegas (Las Vegas, NV USA)
Sad to say, I already broke my first one, and I've ordered number two. I ordered this along with the Cilio Stainless Decanter Drying Rack, and basically they work well together. However, mine broke when placing it on the drying rack. It slipped a bit and the neck of the decanter hit the stainless steel shaft of the drying rack causing the decanter to crack and break. So be careful...and I will, too!

This is a very nice looking decanter at a good price, which will "dress up" any bottle of wine. Some people complained of splashing because of having to invert the decanter to get the last glass of wine out. I practiced twice in the sink with water to get the hang of it, and it's not a problem at all. Just pour slow and steady and you will not have a problem. Of course, after a couple of glasses of wine, you might get sloppy :-). Enjoy it, and I will try not to break number 2.



5 out of 5 stars good decanter   June 22, 2009

I would say this is a good decanter. not too big nor small...just the right size.


4 out of 5 stars Looks cheap, works well   June 7, 2009

The Esperienze decanter is inexpensive and looks it. The glass is thin and the shape is rather mechanical in the sense that it lacks the artisanal appearance of a fine mouth-blown piece of crystal. The bottom is deeply punted and includes a number of odd concentric rings ostensibly intended to increase surface area. The punt, of course, does just the opposite. In short, it lacks the elegance of design and perfection of materials and execution that make a fine captain's decanter a beautiful thing-in-itself. This is actually a bit of an advantage in that you won't hesitate to take it out onto the deck or patio to use when you're having-more-than-one by the pool.

The great majority of red wines benefit from aeration and this big, wide decanter is perfectly functional for that purpose. It holds one bottle effortlessly and two bottles without discomfort. Just be careful pouring the last glass or two. As with all captain's decanters, it is easy to slop a little onto the table.

Buy this for exactly what it is, a highly functional, inexpensive way to improve the drinkability of table wines. Save your nice one for the fine vintage port.
