Riedel Ultra Magnum

Product Description The classic handmade decanter distinguishes by an elegant and complex design. Riedel whole-heartedly believes all wines - young and old, red, white or sparkling - can be enhanced by decanting. These decanters are sculptural enough to qualify as art but also incredible triumphs of functionality - a classic Riedel hallmark. Riedel tip: Use bottle cleaners to remove stains inside the decanter. Amazon.com Made in Austria by the world's most renowned wineglass maker, Riedel Crystal, founded in 1756, this classic decanter is blown from 24 percent lead crystal. It is magnum size (1-1/2 liters), perfect for one or two bottles of red wine. While the most common use of a decanter is to prevent sediment in an aged red wine from spoiling the wine's clarity and brilliance, some authorities also recommend decanting young red wines to give them the opportunity to bloom. In either case, this spectacular decanter brings a breathtaking elegance to the dinner table. Standing 9-1/2 inches high on a 9-1/2-inch-diameter base, its proportions are as perfect as the crystal. Riedel crystal is used by fine restaurants all over the world and thus must stand up to frequent trips through a dishwasher. But because lead crystal has a soft surface, Riedel recommends this decanter be hand washed. --Fred Brack
