Menu Wine Breather Decanter #7697
Details
When dinner is thirty minutes away and the bottle you just opened needs more than a quick swirl, the Menu Wine Breather earns its place at the table. You press the wide-bowl decanter onto the bottle, flip the whole thing upside down and watch the entire contents cascade through in under two minutes — no pouring, no guesswork. What comes out is wine that has actually had room to open up, with the acidity softened and the aroma fuller than it would be straight from the bottle. The lead-free glass is clean and architectural, and the decanter holds 48 ounces, meaning a full bottle with a little headroom for the wine to breathe.
There’s also a practical flexibility here that most decanters don’t offer: once the wine has aerated, you can serve directly from the carafe or flip the system back and return the wine to the original bottle for serving or storing. It travels well between the kitchen and the table and makes a considered gift for anyone who opens wine regularly but doesn’t want to fuss with timing.
Best For
- Opening a tannic red 20 minutes before guests arrive without having to remember to do it an hour ahead
- Giving a host gift that is immediately useful and looks deliberate on a counter or bar cart
- Pouring a mid-week bottle that you want to actually taste — not just drink
- Returning leftover wine to the bottle after aeration so nothing goes to waste
Features
- Inverted-bottle attachment mechanism: The decanter mounts directly onto the bottle opening via a stainless steel collar and seal — you flip the whole bottle upside down and gravity pulls the wine through the carafe in a hands-free cascade. No separate pouring step required.
- Wide, flat bowl maximizes surface exposure: The broad, shallow carafe shape spreads wine across a large surface area as it flows through, which drives the aeration effect rather than relying on time alone.
- Two-way serving flexibility: Once aerated, wine can be served directly from the carafe, or the bottle can be re-attached and inverted again to transfer the wine back — useful when guests prefer pouring from a familiar bottle or when storing leftover wine.
- 48 oz capacity accommodates a full standard bottle with room for the cascade
- Lead-free glass throughout
- 12 inches tall; the assembled bottle-and-carafe silhouette is a visible conversation piece on a table
- Stainless steel collar creates the bottle-to-decanter seal and is visible as a finished accent at the joint

Very Cool

The cool thing about this decanter is that it comes with a fitting that allows you to place an open, upside-down bottle on top of the decanter, and the wine will pour itself into the the decanter with a neat cascade effect. It's much more theatrical and dramatic than most decanters, great for dinners and parties.
More than a decanter

I own a wine bar and we double decant each big wine that we serve, whether it be at a wine event or at a table who orders a bottle of a big red wine. It makes for a great presentation, but also decants a bottle and then returns it to the bottle for an easier pour. Our customers appreciate the presentation as well as what a difference it makes in the taste of the wines. We in turn, sell a lot of the decanters.
Perfect decanter

I love the way you can put the bottle into the decanter and just walk away. Great decanter!
Great idea

I'm sold now on double decanting. This set up is easy, and surprisingly does not create a mess. I really like being able to pour out of the original bottle. The aeration brings out the flavor in the wine. I recommend finishing the bottle once this is done, they don't last long re-corked.

I own no less than a dozen decanters of various shapes and sizes. This one is the best invention ever when it comes to quick aeration!
