Product Description
Rely on the punt for the perfect pour. An ingenious wine decanter from Riedel. The deep impression in the base of fine Champagne bottles allow them to be poured elegantly using the punt as a handle. Riedel has echoed that design for the Riedel O Wine Decanter and added a contoured spout to ensure wine service thatās no less than first class. Made of 24% lead crystal. Size: 12- "H, 34-1/2 oz.
Amazon.com Review
The fluid shape of the O decanter coordinates beautifully with the popular O tumblers from Riedel. Decanting--pouring the contents of a bottle of wine into a serving container--enhances the appreciation of the wine by increasing its contact with oxygen, basically the same process as swirling wine in a glass to release its bouquet. Decanting allows older as well as young wines to fully open up and "breathe." The deep upward facing well, known as a punt, in the bottom of the O decanter causes the wine to splay when poured in, increasing oxygenation. And, the punt provides a good thumb-hold, making the container easier to grasp, which is why the decanter is nicknamed by designer Maximilian Riedel as the "Thumbs Up." Riedel's O tumblers neatly sidestep the annoying issue of stem breakage and fit handily into a dishwasher or picnic basket. Unlike the tumblers, which are machine made of lead-free glass, the decanter is hand-blown of leaded crystal. Making a delightful gift for the uninhibited wine drinker, the O decanter pours without dripping, thanks to its gracefully angled lip, and, like the tumblers, feels just plain satisfying to hold in the hand. The decanter stands 8-7/8 inches tall and holds 34-1/2 ounces. To keep it sparkling, wash by hand. --Ann Bieri

 so cute! June 19, 2008
travel lover (Norwalk, CT)
This is a great little decanter. I emphasize the word "little", though. When it arrived I actually bet my husband that it would not hold an entire bottle of wine - we have wine glasses that look to be the same size as this decanter! Sure enough, he won the bet, but I would probably buy the larger size next time. Even so, I still recommend this one. You can't go wrong with Riedel, and this decanter is so cute and functional - we use it every week.
Great Decanter for everyday use February 8, 2008

Perfect size, holds a normal size bottle of wine easily - the shape makes it very easy to handle and pour. A great looking decanter with the quality of Riedel. Love it!

Gorgeous decanter. My sister & I purchased this item for our dad, and he loves it. It is a very beautiful, yet simple design and is gorgeous even sitting on the shelf with light pouring through it.

I'm a small person, and this decanter fits my hands perfectly. It's sleek, smooth, and effortless. Nothing but raves about this decanter, and I would buy it again!

Great quality, nice-looking decanter but much smaller in size than I anticipated. Smaller than the "usual" decanter size; it does hold a bottle of wine (surprisingly) but is not impressive. If I were to do it again, I'd order a different model/style.
