Beautiful Decanters

[mrdutton]

Wine decanters can cost serveral hundred dollars. Well who needs that when a perfectly good decanter, with a bit of style, can be had for $3.99!

This wonderfully functional glass decanter (no need to worry about lead leaching out into your wine) has a flat bottom for stability, is square at the large end and is round with a large, drip-resistant, opening at the top (pouring) end.

The decanter has a capacity of one liter, so you need not worry about overflowing it when you decant your 750 ml bottles of ancient CS or younger, need the air, tannic oakey fruit bombs.

It comes with some colored looking liquid inside; is supposed to contain some alcohol (I imagine to ensure your new decanter is sterile?!?). The label decribes some flavors to the liquid contents: White Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Merlot.

The manufacturer of these fine decanters is CORBETT CANYON. (I must offer my most humble apolgy to Columbia Crest. I don't know how I made that stupid mistake - it was an honest error.) All along I thought they were a winery. Even the cap on the top says, "use as a wine decanter"! I never realized thier primary intent was the marketing of functional, beautiful, inexpensive decanters.

Pay $3.99 for each one you wish to purchase; they all cost the same no matter the color of the liquid inside.

Remove the cap, pour out the stuff inside, wipe dry and your new decanter is ready for service. However, if you are into cooking you might want to use the yellow-green stuff or the purple colored stuff as a marinade for your chicken breasts or your pot roast.

What a value, all for $3.99!
