1. Decanters and pitchers are a key part of your barware collection. Serving alcohol should be done using the proper pieces to ensure best flavor and enjoyment.
2. Decanters are used to transfer wine from the bottle to the glass. Pour wine into a decanter in order to expose it to air and draw out its essences before pouring it into the glass.
3. Decanting wine is most useful when serving a younger wine, which requires more exposure to the air than an older aged wine. Empty the bottle quickly into the decanter and allow it to rest in the decanter for a few hours before serving.
4. Pitchers also enhance your bar experience and make serving beers more fun. They're a must-have when filling multiple glasses from a tap or keg, and pouring just one time from the tap into the pitcher eliminates the excessive foam you may experience by filling each glass individually.
5. Using pitchers and decanters to transfer your alcohol from the container to the glass is an essential part of good bartending. The proper equipment will ensure maximum flavor enhancement and elegant presentation.
