Riedel Cabernet Magnum Decanter #1707

• Magnum capacity (64 oz): Holds a full magnum bottle or two standard 750ml bottles - enough for a dinner table of six without a second pour from the bottle.
• Wide base, tapered neck: The broad lower chamber maximizes wine-to-air contact for aeration. The narrow neck slows the pour and helps keep sediment in the decanter rather than in the glass.
• Serves two different purposes depending on the wine: For young, tannic reds like Cabernet Sauvignon, decant several hours ahead to open up the wine. For older vintages with sediment, a brief decant just before serving is enough to preserve clarity in the glass.
• Machine-made from lead-free crystal - consistent wall thickness throughout and fully transparent so you can see the wine’s color and depth.
• 10¾” tall with a clean teardrop silhouette that reads well on a table without competing with the glassware around it.
• No stopper included — this is an open decanter designed for service, not storage.

Pairs Well With

• A decanting funnel — as shown in the product imagery, a funnel helps direct the bottle’s pour cleanly into the narrow neck while catching any remaining sediment.

Will this decanter actually hold a full magnum bottle of wine?

A: Yes. The Riedel Cabernet Magnum Decanter holds 64 ounces, which is enough to accommodate a full magnum bottle (1.5L / ~50.7 oz) with room to spare. A standard 750ml bottle (~25.4 oz) fills it less than halfway, giving the wine a generous surface area to breathe and open up.

What’s the difference between how you use it for a young Cabernet versus an older bottle?

A: For a young wine, decant it several hours before serving — the wide base exposes the wine to air and allows it to develop in a way that normally takes years in bottle. For an older wine with sediment, decant it just a few moments before serving so the deposits stay behind and the wine pours clear. Same decanter, two very different techniques depending on what’s in your cellar.

Is this decanter hand-blown or machine-made, and does it contain lead?

A: It’s machine-made from lead-free crystal. That distinction matters for a couple of reasons: machine production means consistent wall thickness and a more durable piece less prone to chipping, and lead-free crystal means no risk of lead leaching into the wine regardless of how long you leave it to decant.

How tall is this decanter and how does it sit on a table?

A: The decanter stands 10¾ inches tall and weighs 3.3 lbs. The shape — a wide, rounded base that tapers into a long graceful neck — gives it real presence on a dining or sideboard table without looking oversized. It reads as intentional rather than decorative.

Is this a good gift, and does it come in a box?

A: The Riedel Cabernet Magnum Decanter is a strong gifting choice for any wine drinker — it’s a recognizable name, a generous size and a piece that gets used rather than displayed. Riedel ships this product in branded packaging, which is appropriate for gifting as-is.
