Wine Decanters are essential if you want to bring out the best in your wine. Wine decanters are important for two main purposes; aeration and sedimentation.
Since wine is enhanced by exposure to air, the decanters are important for the aeration of the wine. Pouring wine into the decanters help in aerating the wine very well. The decanters offer a large surface for better exposure to air in turn aerating it thoroughly. Using decanters for aerating the cheaper wines can also enhance their flavours to an extent by removing the awkward smell that they might have due to sulphur dioxide. The sedimentation process on the other hand is important in case of the older wines. As these wines might have some sediment accumulated over the years, decanting it with the decanter can help in separating the sediments. The older wines produce sediment naturally as they age. Having such wine without decanting it can make the wine cloudy and give it a bitter taste.
Different decanters for different wines:
    •    Full-bodied Red Wines: Wide based Decanter
    •    Medium-bodied Red Wines: Medium sized decanter
    •    Light-bodied Red Wines: Small to Medium decanter that is chilled
    •    White and Rosé Wines: Small decanter if necessary
With wine decanters comes the need for wine decanter accessories such as decanter cleaning balls, decanter cleaing brushes, decanter drying stands, decanter labels and candles.
