Decanting?

[wondersofwine]

I've decided to buy a duck decanter similar to the one found elsewhere on this website. See: http://www.wines.com/store/index.html
(Scroll down near the bottom of the glassware page for a nice $95.00 duck decanter.) I have seen them for a price of $65.00. Others on the board have recommended using a liter size Paul Masson wine bottle to decant. A crystal decanter should not be used for long time storage as some of the lead in the leaded crystal might leach into the wine. The idea is to have a broader base where the wine has more surface exposure to air but still a fairly narrow neck for pouring.
Looks like IK beat me to it about posting on the Paul Masson bottles. He's the one who has recommended this in the past.
