The machine-made decanter distinguishes by its elegant and complex design. The whole-heartedly believes all wines - young and old, red, white, or sparkling - can be enhanced by decanting. Decanting old wines, just a few moments before they are served helps to ensure that the clarity and brilliance of the wine are not obscured by any deposit that may have developed over time. Decanting young wines several hours before they are served gives the wine a chance to bloom and attain a stage of development that normally requires years of aging.
