Inverted Wine Decanter

20 October 2006

Want to impress your wine buddies at parties you host this holiday season? Maybe an inverted wine decanter will do the job (it’d impress me anyway). Available at just over $150 from Hammacher Schlemmer, the decanter is supposed to let you remove more sediment from your reds by pouring the wine over a glass globe resting on a mesh filter into this suspended glass receptacle. They say the end result is a wine that has been properly exposed to oxygen (AKA it will taste better). A stainless steel lever/spigot at the bottom is operated by giving the rim of your glass a little thrust up. This means you can pour your glass of wine one-handed without touching the decanter. That’s a skill that could become even more valuable after a few glasses…
