Decanter & Carafe FAQs

What does a decanter do for wine?

A wine decanter provides the following benefits:

• Separates the sediment from wine: Older wines, especially red wines, can develop sediment over time. This sediment is made up of dead yeast cells and other particles that can make the wine taste unpleasant. Decanting the wine will help to remove the sediment, leaving you with a clear and clean wine.
• Aerates the wine: This can help to soften the tannins in the wine and release its aroma. Decanting for a period of time will allow it to breathe and improve its flavour, especially for younger wines.

Why use a decanter for whisky?

Using a decanter for whisky will do the following:

• Oxygenation: Just like wine, some whiskies can benefit from some oxidation. Decanting whisky allows it to breathe and can help reduce any harsh flavours or smells.
• Storage: If you have a large bottle of whisky, decanting some of it into a smaller decanter for serving can help preserve the whisky's freshness for a longer time, by reducing its exposure to oxygen.

How to clean a decanter?

Cleaning a decanter can be difficult due to its shape and often narrow neck. Rinse immediately after use and clean with warm water and dish soap. Use a decanter brush or bottle brush if you have one to gently scrub the interior. Dry thoroughly before the next use.

Here are some additional tips to avoid damaging your decanter when cleaning:

• Use a mild soap and water solution for crystal decanters.
• If the decanter has a stopper, remove and clean it separately.
• Use a soft brush to clean intricate designs.
