Ranking of the best decanters for 2022

When receiving guests at home, each hostess pays special attention to table setting. Based on the choice of tablecloths, napkins, crockery, cutlery and intended dishes for serving guests, the whole picture of the feast is formed. Decanters at solemn events are one of the essential attributes. They can serve juices, spirits, wine or plain water. What to look for when choosing a carafe, what popular models of this type of dishes exist and many other questions on this topic are listed below.

General idea of ​​the product - selection criteria

Many are wondering: how to choose a decanter so that it does not look pretentious on the festive table. It is enough to know the volume of the vessel in order to understand what it is intended for.

Selection Tips:

• If we are talking about juices or refreshing drinks, then the volume of the carafe is chosen from one liter.

Note! Often, a large volume decanter is compared to a jug.

• The wine decanter is called a decanter. Its capacity is rarely more than 750 ml.

Note! According to experts, the decanter enhances the taste and aroma of wine.

• Frequent guests on the tables are carafes for strong alcoholic drinks: vodka, whiskey, cognac. If you are looking for just such a product, then its volume should not exceed 500 ml (with the exception of damask). Be sure to check for a cork on the decanter.

It is interesting! Shtof is a unit of measure for vodka, equal to 1/10 of a bucket. A container of this volume is more suitable for storing alcohol than for serving it on the table.

Depending on the number of invited guests, the number of decanters on the festive table is distributed. If this is a company of up to 5 people, then one vessel is enough to make the table look solemn.

Types of decanters

There are several conditions that determine the type of decanters - the shape and material of the product. It is important to know what vessels are in shape, so as not to make mistakes when choosing, since it is the shape that helps the drink to fully open up.

Recommendations:

• for soft drinks and water there are no strict requirements in form;
• for vodka, cognac, whiskey and other strong drinks, choose a spherical shape with a narrow neck;
• for wine, the shape of the dishes is of particular importance. For homemade wine, decanters with a wide base and a funnel-shaped neck are suitable. Aged wines are best served in a ball-shaped decanter with a very narrow neck. A rosé wine decanter should have a narrow base, a wide middle part and a medium-sized mouth, and be closed with a lid.

As for the materials for the manufacture of carafes, the most popular, according to a long tradition, are crystal products. Crystal always looks rich on any table and, regardless of the type of drink in a crystal carafe, you can enjoy a wonderful ringing.

The crystal decanter is suitable for serving vodka, whiskey, wine and cognac. It is the transparency of the dishes that emphasizes the purity of vodka, and wine and cognac play beautifully with color.

Crystal is considered one of the most expensive materials. If the budget does not allow you to purchase this type of dishes, then you can use glass containers.

Also, on store shelves, you can find decanters made of porcelain, plastic, copper, iron and even wood.

Decanter Care

Dishes of this kind should always be in perfect condition. Of all the materials listed above, the most time-consuming process is the care of crystal because of its corrugated surface. If you don’t have a special brush for cleaning carafes at hand, then you can use the old-fashioned way.

A folk recipe for the care of crystal dishes: dissolve citric acid in water, place crystal dishes there for a couple of hours.Then take it out of the water and rinse well. To clean the carafe from the inside, you need to fill it with coarse salt and shake it. Salt can be replaced with peas or rice.

Note! Do not wash crystal in the dishwasher.
