Frequently Asked Questions

You have questions... and WE have answers!

Q: Is this only for red wine?

A: Unlike red wine, white wine typically does not form sediment, reducing the need to be decanted. However, all wines, including white wines can benefit from a bit of oxygen to help open up. Aged red wines should be decanted to separate any sediments, while younger red wines need time to “breathe” to reach maximum flavor and aroma.

Q: How long should wine aerate?

A: Depending on the type and age of your wine, you should let your wine aerate in a wine decanter for a minimum of 30 minutes up to a few hours before serving. Younger wines typically require more time to decant.

Q: How to clean a wine decanter?

A: While our crystal wine decanter is dishwasher safe, we highly recommend hand washing with dish soap and warm water, then drying upside down.
