Do you guys have Wine Decanter
I'm trying to buy one for my boss.. But I actually have no idea where/what to buy.

I would like to get something below $100.

Let me know if you guys have any idea on this.

Thank you guys!

Your best bet would be a wine store or winery, they shouldn't cost $100

I never used one before. For as many cases of wine i have in the house you would think that i would know what it's used for.

Riedel is the standard in stemware for wine. They have them for 500+ and <100. The name with the Riedel story is worth an additional $100 easy.

What's the purpose of that/what is the benefit? Never seen that before.

And yes I can honestly say it makes a huge difference on red wines. The more tannins, the more the wine needs to breathe.

I agree completely.

The taste, flavor, etc. all change once the wine has been exposed to air, and generally speaking the wine mellows out a little, generally for the better.

I have the Rabbit Aerating Pourer that goes into the bottle itself.

yea id rather have the one that goes into the bottle itself, looks like a pain to carry the bottle and the aerator at the same time.

It turns out the thing my brother bought me was an aerator. I finally took it out of the closet and tried it. It does make a difference

It looks just like this one minus the stand.
