I bought this for my mom, as she loves to entertain and put on big meals / parties for special occasions and holidays. Her jaw dropped when she saw it. The packaging is beautiful and the piece itself is stunning. Superior quality and craftsmanship.

Perfect shape for serving. The last couple of ounces stay inside until the carafe is completely upside-down, so little danger of accidentally pouring trapped sediment. The lip is cut at an angle that prevents dripping very effectively. Use a 3" diameter wooden sphere as a stopper.No cleaning tools necessary, but I recommend getting a drying stand that will hold it upside-down. To clean, stuff a half-sheet of paper towel in with a little warm, soapy water and swish it around. The paper towel will remove any dried-on bits. When you pour out the water, while the bottle is inverted, grab a corner of the paper towel to pull it out.

I purchased this decanter as a family Christmas gift and have used it only once so far. The decanter is elegant looking and does a great job of providing a lot of volume area for the wine to breath. Since I have used it only once it is difficult to rate its durability, thus the four star rating. Also since the decanter is glass and large, caution must be exercised when washing it because the soap can make any glass object a bit slippery. Also, I will need to purchase a specialized bottle brush to reach the bottom sides of the decanter due to shape. This is not a criticism of the decanter per say but rather just the nature of the size and shape of the decanter. I purchased this decanter because I liked the way it looks, thus I must deal with the consequence of that decision. I am just pointing these cleaning points so that you are aware of them. Also I gave a four star rating for "Easy to Clean" to highlight these cleaning concerns as you consider the purchase of this decanter. My wife is also very happy with the elegant look of the decanter. I am very happy with the purchase and look forward to using it frequently.

Gorgeous piece of glass. And big enough to provide plenty of air exposure to a whole bottle of wine.

Classy looking, non leaded crystal, looks great and aerates wine perfectly. The decanter is surprisingly light which really helps once there's a full bottle of wine inside. It's only had a couple family dinners' worth of use but I appreciate that the Tritan crystal is virtually unbreakable - will look to use this regularly for nice family meals. Great product!

While the marketing claims no drip, you have to tip this decanter completely upside down to pour the last glass of wine do to the very wide base. While doing this with the first and only glass of wine, I completely lost control of the pour on the last 2 glasses of wine whereby the wine ran down the sides of both glasses (and I was sober). We've had several different decanters over the years so I was shocked at this experience. So much so that I took it to the sink and practiced several times as I could not believe this design forced you to complete invert the decanter to empty the contents. I could not even imagine using this with company. While we do like Schott Zwiesel wine glasses, this decanter is being returned.

The description of this decanter states that it is made of Tritan glass, a Schott exclusive that makes the glass especially break resistant and dishwasher safe. After receiving this item from Amazon I looked high and low at the package but there is no reference to Tritan anywhere. This prompted me to go to the Schott Zwiesel website where it becomes clear that this decanter is part of their Crystal Glass line and not part of the Tritan line of wine glasses. If Tritan glass is used in its manufacture (it is made in Romania) it isn't stated. While somewhat disappointing it isn't that big an issue for me since large decanters like this one are made of thick glass and aren't likely to end up in the dishwasher nearly as often as a wine glass. Amazon should, however, relabel the product to reflect its true construction.Update: One more thing. According to the packaging and the owners' guide (yes it comes with a short owners guide) the decanter features a "no drip" edge that keeps wine from dribbling down the outside when you pour. Nice touch if it worked but, alas, it does not. Pouring will still result in drips on the outside and even giving the decanter a slight twist at the end of the pour still produces drips. If anyone has figured out the no drip secret, I'm all ears.
