Review on Riedel 1490 13 Performance Decanter by Michael Caste

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is Riedel. What else do you need to know?

I was tired of decanting bottles of magnum wine into two regular carafes, so I started looking for a carafe that would hold a magnum (1.5L) of wine. I chose this one because it was reasonably priced, it can hold up to 80 ounces, which is more than I need for a magnum of wine, and it was made by Riedel. Most of my wine glasses are made by Riedel and I know they make quality glassware. By the way, the decanter in the form of an onion looks very beautiful. It's lighter than I expected, but if it contains a magnum of wine, it's good.

Pros
  • Carafe capacity 36 ounces
Cons
  • Out of style
