Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Riedel Magnum Cabernet Decanter
Customer Review: Good but not great...
Summary: 3 Stars
Cleaning is quite burdensome for weekly usage. It's a nice looking decanter, thin & elegant, prone to breakage; for it to retain its understated elegance, spotless is a must. Hence upkeep is such a chore. Now & then I would break my Vinum glasses while hand-cleaning or drying them, this decanter has presented even a greater challenge.
Unlike wine glasses, thinness serves both aestheticism AND functionality; it is purely aesthetic and nothing more when it comes to decanter. Therefore I personally thought the Schott Zwiesel Classico Decanter, also German made, is a better option for regular usage because on top of being relatively though not quite as thin, it's durable due to its titanium content.
Now, let's say to add more "oom" to your wine experience, you don't mind painstakingly cleaning it afterwards, then pricier Riedel decanters, the "O" model for one among others, are a lot more visually striking.
In short, balancing between aestheticism and utility, this is a good but not great decanter considering other alternatives. 3.5 stars.
Description of Riedel Magnum Cabernet Decanter
Made in Europe by Riedel, the world's most-renowned wineglass maker, this decanter allows sediment to settle, clarifying any red wine. Even with a young, sediment-free wine, the decanter makes a beautiful serving vessel by displaying the wine's color. It conforms to Riedel's exacting standards: colorless, transparent, and thin walled. It holds 64 ounces, ample for two 750-milliliter bottles of wine, and measures 11 inches high. Its graceful, outwardly curved neck provides a secure grip when pouring.Made in Austria by the world's most-renowned wineglass maker (Riedel Crystal, founded in 1756), this decanter allows sediment to settle, clarifying any older red wine. Even with a young, sediment-free wine, the decanter makes a beautiful serving vessel by displaying the wine's color. It's machine blown of brilliant 24 percent lead crystal and conforms to Riedel's exacting standards: colorless, transparent, and thin walled. It holds 64 ounces, ample for two 750-milliliter bottles of wine, and measures 11 inches high. Its graceful, outwardly curved neck provides a secure grip when pouring. Riedel crystal is used by fine restaurants all over the world and thus must stand up to frequent trips through a dishwasher. But because lead crystal has a soft, coarse surface to convey intense aromas, Riedel recommends that the decanter be hand washed. --Fred Brack
