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

Love this Decanter. Works great for parties so you can keep wine in bottle so guests know the vineyard. Would recommend
Works as advertised but has waviness in the glass

This decanter is perfect for parties when I am serving more bottles of wine than I have decanters. I can aerate the wine with this and then put it back into the original bottle. I cannot give it five stars because of the waviness in the glass around the neck. At this price point, I do not expect imperfections in the glass even though it does not affect the performance of the decanter. It does work well and as advertised in quickly opening up a bottle of wine.
Worked well a few times, but physics got in the way

I really wanted to like this decanter, but the laws of physics got in the way. After using the decanter with a few bottles over a few weeks, I was draining the wine back into a bottle, when about 3/4 of the way through the bubbling/aerating action was enough to ever so slightly tip the decanter to one side and I watched helplessly from across the kitchen as the decanter and bottle tipped over and shattered against the granite countertop and wine splashed everywhere. I must admit when I first got the decanter I was worried about how top-heavy it was when pouring the wine back into the bottle. I double checked the instructions and nowhere does it say to hold the decanter/bottle during the aeration process. Plus that would be terribly inconvenient since it does take some time to fully drain. I'm not sure why after almost 3/4 of the wine draining back into the bottle it would tip over, but it did. As always, I made sure the decanter was well seated and level before letting go.
Quick double decant

Love the decanter. Very easy to do a double decant before having wine. Really makes a difference in the taste.
