This Unique Wine Decanter From Amazon Is One of the Best Gifts I Got Off My Wedding Registry

A few years ago, when I set up the wedding registry for my now-husband and me online, I took pains not to overload the list with tons of random items. After all, the two of us were already living together in a house, and we had pretty much everything we needed. But when I came across this gorgeous glass wine decanter from Lenox, I couldn’t resist adding it to the registry—despite the fact that neither my husband nor I are the biggest wine drinkers around.

Available on Amazon—where it’s currently on sale for 16 percent off—this beautiful, clear decanter is made from European crystal and has a unique design with a hole in the middle of the base and a thin, arching neck that’s just the right size for an aerator. It’s a sizable item that holds up to 48 ounces of wine and stands 13 inches tall. Despite its elegant look, it’s seriously durable and made to withstand falls. It can even go in the dishwasher if needed, but I’ll admit I’ve always hand-washed it, just to be extra safe.

Even though I don’t drink a ton of wine, I’m so glad I received this $51 decanter from my registry. It adds such a special touch to the wine-drinking experience, and I’ve gotten so many compliments from friends on its lovely, unusual look. When red wine is poured into the device for aerating and, of course, decanting, it creates a stunning contrast, especially once it reaches the center. But even when there’s no wine in it at all, the decanter makes for an eye-catching piece, which is why we keep ours on display in our kitchen’s open shelving for all to see. (The decanter also comes in a traditional vase-like shape as well as a round version, but personally, I think the angled option is the most striking.)

Many shoppers have expressed similar praise for this decanter in their five-star reviews. “This is beautiful and higher quality than I expected for the price,” wrote one person, noting that it’s thick, easy to clean, and durable. “I have knocked it off my nightstand two times now, onto a wood floor, and it hasn't broken yet!”

Another reviewer said that the “well-made” decanter “looks amazing when on display”, while a third customer wrote that the device does “a great job decanting wine,” and acts as a conversation starter because it has “an appearance that all of our dinner guests ask about.”

Whether you’re a red wine superfan or only indulge on occasion, this lovely decanter is worth checking out—especially while it’s on sale. And there are even more wine favorites to discover below.
