Wine Decanters at Glassware UK
A wine decanter does two jobs: it lets red wine breathe so its flavours open up, and it separates the wine from any sediment in older bottles. It also looks wonderful on the dinner table.
A crystal wine decanter also makes a superb gift and can be engraved. Pair it with red wine glasses, browse spirit decanters or see all glass decanters.
How to choose wine decanters
Choose a handmade Krosno ships or teardrop decanter, the Bormioli Rocco Loto for everyday use, or a cut-crystal decanter for a special gift. A wide-based decanter gives young, full-bodied reds the most room to breathe.

Frequently asked questions
How long should I decant red wine?
Most young red wines benefit from 30 to 60 minutes in a decanter. Older wines need only enough time to separate them from the sediment.
How do I clean a wine decanter?
Rinse with warm water straight after use. For stubborn stains, use decanter cleaning beads or a soft brush, avoid soap, which can leave a residue, and leave upside down to dry.
Are wine decanters dishwasher safe?
We recommend washing decanters by hand, as above. Care details are listed on each product page.
Can wine decanters be personalised?
Many of our wine decanters can be personalised with engraving – look for the personalisation option on the product page. Personalised orders are usually turned around in 1–4 working days depending on the option you choose, and same-day turnaround is available.
