From a sommelier’s perspective, a fancy decanter is great—provided it’s also functional! This decanter from Italesse meets both criteria: beautiful to look at but pours beautifully, too. (Allow 5 days for processing orders.)

A brilliant design concept: The Alavin’s base functions as a reservoir for ice to help keep any wine chilled below room temperature and easily maintained thereafter. This makes service of wines that need to maintain a slight chill so easy we wish the Alavin was available when we were working the floor as sommeliers! This is a gift that will surely find a home with any collector and allow that next special wine to shine perfectly.
