Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Riedel Dominus Magnum 69-1/2-Ounce DecanterCustomer Review: GREAT DECANTER. Why Lie About the Size? Summary: 4 Stars
Does not appear to have fragility issues like Reidel duck decanter which inevitably will chip around the edge of the spout. The only reason this gets 4 stars instead of a perfect 5 is Riedel's exaggeration about the capasity.
It holds 62 ounces. If you try and pour 69 1/2 ounces into it, you'll have 7 1/2 ounces all over your counter.
Riedel, why the lie? You already call it a magnum decanter which will suffice for most wine nuts...
Great decanter, just don't understand the need to LIE.
btw, I will be buying more "Riedel Dominus Magnum 62 Ounce Decanters".
Description of Riedel Dominus Magnum 69-1/2-Ounce DecanterCreated with extended storage in mind, the Riedel family brings you their Dominus Magnum non-lead decanter with stopper in this handsome, elegant design. Named for the Dominus wines, which are a Bordeaux blend, this decanter is suitable for moderate to major aeration of Bordeaux region wines and a variety of other aged reds. The larger magnum version of this decanter holds two full bottles of wine and has a wider base than neck in order to expedite the oxidation process. The simple yet elegantly designed Dominus magnum decanter has a rounded base and body that slopes into a long 6-inch neck, and slightly flared 1-½-inch pouring lip. A bulb-shaped stopper covers the mouth between pourings. This decanter is mouth-blown of non-lead crystal, stands 14-3/8 inches tall, is 5 inches wide at its base, and holds 69-1/2 ounces. --Cristina Vaamonde
