Decanters & Cocktail Pitchers

1. Air opens up any wine, softening its tannins and releasing its aromas. A decanter speeds up this process, getting the best out of your wine. Pour your whole bottle into a decanter, give it a gentle swirl, and in minutes it's ready to share with friends.

2. Decanting adds to the beauty of the whole wine experience. We offer crystal decanters, etched vases and graceful shapes from the world's best craftsmen, including Riedel, Nuance and Vinturi.

3. Unlike wine, whiskey can be left in a whiskey decanter indefinitely. The decanter simply adds a graceful, classy way to share a graceful, classy drink. Although technically whiskey doesn't need decanting, many experts swear it tastes better out of a beautiful cut crystal decanter.

4. The fun of craft beers is in the sharing. We have the best selection anywhere of whimsical and attractive beer pitchers to impress your friends. Remember, when serving from a pitcher, hold your glass at a 45-degree angle and pour gently down the side so the carbonation releases its aromas slowly.

5. If you love entertaining, you'll flip over our drink pitchers. From delicate crystal masterpieces to colorful plastic pitchers that are safe outdoors on your patio, you'll be partying in style.

6. Because decanters are so good at intensifying flavors, experts recommend washing your decanter with distilled or mineral water, so there is no residue inside to affect the taste of your fine wine. Make your life even more luxurious with our decanter cleaning accessories.

7. Wine and whiskey decanter sets make fabulous gifts to impress your favorite liquor enthusiast or to help set up a beginner. Some can be etched with a monogram for a unique and unforgettable wedding present.

8. As many of the best whiskeys come from Ireland and Scotland, so do some of the best whiskey decanters. They're all here, including the legendary Galway Irish crystal, classic designs from Thomas O'Brien and innovative lead-free crystal from Ravenscroft.
