BEST WINE DECANTERS
Riedel Cabernet Decanter, Amazon Australia, $78.23
Riedel is famous for its wine glasses and rightly so — they are beautiful but they are at the pricier end of the glassware market with some of their styles costing more than $100 for a single glass.

The Riedel Cabernet Decanter is lightweight and easy to use with wide opening at the top making it easy to pour wine into. (Or water if you prefer)
It is on the smaller side compared to other decanters on the market and several reviewers on Amazon pointed out it’s more of a half bottle decanter.

IS IT WORTH BUYING A WINE DECANTER?
If your drinking red wine regularly, a wine decanter can definitely be worth the money.
While you may not think the process of decanting a wine is that important, when wine is exposed to oxygen, it can improve the scent and taste.
So if you’re drinking often and like to taste different flavours, you may want to invest in a wine decanter.
DOES THE SHAPE OF A WINE DECANTER MATTER?
While the shape of your decanter can sometime affect the process, it’s not enough to change your buying decision. So if you really love a certain shape or style decanter, just purchase the one that makes you happy – and of course, the one that suits your budget.
