Riedel Swan Wine Decanter

This beautiful Swan decanter by Riedel, its elegant lines perfectly inspired by its snow-white feathered namesake, features mouth-blown, handmade elegance. The long, graceful neck is a stunning visual sensation and the pour spout at the top is designed for drip-resistance. The wide opening on the opposite side allows an easy transfer of the wine from the bottle to the decanter. Made of fine lead crystal for added brilliance, this Swan decanter stands 23-5/8 inches tall.

Launched in 2008. Limited Availability. There is no more elegant bird than the Swan, so Riedel thought it only fitting that their new Swan decanter should embody the same natural grace. The body of the decanter mimics the gentle curvature of the form of a Swan, forming "J" shape with an exaggeratedly elongated straight neck that narrows to the elliptical lip. Wine is simply poured into the wider opening of the Swan's "tail" (which also forms a natural handle for services) then effortlessly poured into the glass from the narrow "neck". As fascinating to look at as it is functional to use, the Swan decanter does the job of separating sediment from older wines, while allowing the younger ones to aerate and mature. Mouth-blown and made of lead crystal, the Swan holds a standard 750ml bottle of wine.
