Perfect for serving a single bottle of wine, this decanter features an innovative integrated handle built into its asymmetrical base, providing a secure and comfortable grip during pouring.

Troubleshooting
Stubborn wine stains in the bottom
Use stainless steel cleaning beads with a small amount of warm water and swirl gently to scrub the base.
Water spots after washing
Rinse with a small amount of distilled water for the final rinse to prevent mineral deposits from leaving spots.
Difficulty reaching the base for cleaning
Use a long-handled, soft-foam flexible cleaning brush designed for delicate stemware and decanters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This decanter is ready to use straight out of the box. Because it is mouthblown, avoid exposing the glass to extreme temperature fluctuations to prevent thermal stress.
Cleaning Instructions:
- Rinse with warm water immediately after use to prevent wine sediment from drying on the glass walls.
- Use a mild, fragrance-free dish soap if necessary.
- We recommend using specialized decanter cleaning beads or a soft-bristle flexible brush to reach the base, as the neck angle makes standard sponges difficult to use.
- Always air dry upside down on a decanter drying rack to prevent water spots.
Storage: Due to its height of 36.5cm, ensure your storage location has sufficient vertical clearance.
