Review on 🍷 Iittala 8-Inch Decanter: Exquisite Elegance for Fine Wine by Enrique Espinoza

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ugly photo, great carafe at a great price

Designed for iittala about ten years ago, this Antonio Citterio carafe, along with a range of similarly minimalist glasses and cutlery, is simple, durable and elegant. It is listed on Amazon very often and it is the best price. Check out other listings to find much more attractive images of this item, then come back here to shop and save (with free shipping at a price no less). The design is simple and modern. It easily fits a full 750ml bottle at the base well below the neckline. The base is wide and flat and this gives you a lot of airflow. The neck is heavy and offers a secure grip when decanting and pouring. To clean it I suggest you give it a good rinse after each use and from time to time use something like Peugeot's "Bilbo" steel balls or a similar method to give it a deep clean from the inside to get rid of stains and it upsides around a dryer to dry. and it will look good and last a long time. I really like this decanter and it's a lot cheaper than a similar sized Riedel Vinum decanter. A great everyday carafe, but beautiful enough to use with a more elegant table setting.

Pros
  • Clear blown glass
Cons
  • Some little things
