Parabola Wine Decanter

Filed under: Wine

Riedel's Amadeo Lyra Decanter is one of the most elegant pieces of crystal that you can put on your table, thanks to is sensual, curving shape that wine naturally flows out of. A less expensive, but no less elegant, version of the concept is the Parabola Wine Decanter. The mouth-blown decanter is made of 25% lead crystal and holds a full, standard-sized bottle of wine, providing aeration from both the ends. The shaped ends are easy to handle and pouring, done from the slightly longer end, is precise. Price: $170.

Wine Storage Tips

Filed under: Decor, Wine

LifeTips has a great section dedicated to the storage of wine. Pretty much every topic is touched upon from building your own wine rack to wine cellar cooling tips. Some quick and important storing tips to keep in mind: keep bottles on their sides, store where there is little temperature fluctuation, high humidity is important for long term storage, and pay attention to the age worthiness of your wine before they go past their prime. Keep in mind wine cellars are not just meant to only be pleasing to the eye, but they must be just as functional as they are attractive. The need for a vapor barrier is commonly ignored when your designer doesn’t have the necessary knowledge of wine.
