Review on 🍷 Riedel Vivant Balloon Decanter - Elegant 36.68 oz Clear Glass by Joe Garczynski

Revainrating 5 out of 5

For those of us who don't buy wine in a case

I am very pleased with this carafe. I was surprised by the sizes as I'm more used to the big ones. I filled it with water in the amount of a typical wine bottle, and surprisingly it ended up where the wine is listed on the Riedel box. My photo showing a typical wine bottle next to a carafe should give you an idea of the size. I never knew I needed a carafe that wouldn't take up so much space in my closet until I got this one. I will buy another one when I need to decant multiple bottles. I probably won't be using my expensive/sophisticated ones in the future unless I feel the need to impress guests. Riedel Wine Accessories has always been a name to rely on, otherwise I wouldn't risk buying this online. I usually want to actually feel the thickness and weight of the glass. It had that thin glass that we serious wine drinkers seek and expect.
