Crystal is heavier that glass, it has a special brilliance due to being highly refractive (“light bending” power) and gives off a lovely “ping!” Apart from that, crystal has the ability to keep wine cool as it does not generate heats like glass.
Such a crystal wine decanter is much suitable for white wine instead of red wine as white wine is known to be more temperature sensitive. Never the less, it is still can cater for both white and red wine and this is definitely a decanter worth getting your hands on.
Decanting is mostly suited for older white wines and even for mature sweet wines which will be showing layered complexity as well as for tannic red young wines
This decanter shape is of the most commonly used by professionals in F&B and Hospitality industry making it a good must have decanter even for homeowner.
To decant wine, the wine is poured into the decanter leaving the sediment in the original bottle, and the clear liquid is transferred to the decanter.
Another reason for decanting wine is to aerate it, or allow it to "breathe". The decanter is meant to mimic the effects of swirling the wine glass to stimulate the oxidation processes which trigger the release of more aromatic compounds. In addition, it is thought to benefit the wine by smoothing some of the harsher aspects of the wine (like tannins or potential wine faults like mercaptans).
