WMF hand blown glass wine decanters are often ornate. Most decanters have a tall, upright shape and are made of glass, often lead crystal, to allow observation of the process of decanting and come with a stopper lid, which may have a rod to aid decanting. Throughout the history of wine, decanters have played a significant role in the serving of wine. The vessels would be filled with wine from amphoras and brought to the table where a single servant could more easily handle them. Decanting is the process of pouring wine from a bottle into a carafe and is recommended for red wines. The main reason for this is to separate the clear wine from the deposit at the bottom of the bottle (influencing the quality of the wine).
