This essential step exposes wine to the air and begins the release of the wine's unique aromatics thereby allowing for full flavor enjoyment. For older full-bodied wines decanting serves as a simple way to separate the wine from any sediment that might have accumulated in the bottle. Ultimately wine decanters significantly enhance presentation which completes the full sensory experience.Attention California Residents - Proposition 65 Warning: Consuming foods or beverages that have been kept or served in leaded crystal products or handling products made of leaded crystal will expose you to lead a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.The Story of RiedelFew glass makers can claim a history dating to the 17th century.
