Wine carafes

Wine carafes for red and white wine

If you want to pour white wine or red wine in style, you can pour it into a carafe. This option is also ideal if you serve wine on tap or open wines in your restaurant or pub. There is no special wine carafe for red wine or a wine carafe for white wine. Basically, a carafe always ensures that the wine comes into contact with more oxygen and can develop more flavor and depth. Accordingly, wines that tend to be drunk cool and are younger should be served in a carafe. A decanter is the better choice when it comes to separating the sediment from the wine for older red wines.

What is the capacity of a wine decanter?

You can buy carafes in different sizes from LUSINI. We offer wine carafes with a capacity of 0.25 and wine carafes with a capacity of 0.5 liters. The smaller sizes are particularly recommended for white wines served cold. They gain volume when decanted into the carafe. At the same time, the smaller filling volume ensures that the wine does not stand too long and become warm. This is particularly important for white wine, as the alcohol taste becomes stronger with increasing temperature and can mask the aroma of the wine.

Discover wine carafes made of glass or crystal glass in the LUSINI online store

Whether you buy a wine carafe made of glass or crystal glass has no influence on the taste of the wine. However, there is a big visual difference between conventional glass and crystal glass. As the name suggests, crystal glass reflects light like a crystal. If you serve your wines in a crystal carafe, you will achieve a particularly appealing effect. Combine this with wine glasses made of crystal glass to create an elegant and sophisticated atmosphere. Our conventional glasses are in no way inferior to our crystal glass in terms of quality. Although they are less brilliant, they are less expensive. Wine carafes made of crystal glass and glass from LUSINI are dishwasher safe.

What is the difference between a classic wine carafe and a decanter?

The carafe and the decanter are two different methods of pouring wine from the bottle into a container.

• Decanting is primarily about separating the wine from the sediment that settles at the bottom of the bottle during storage. To do this, the wine bottle is tilted bit by bit so that the wine can flow slowly into the decanter. Decanters are mainly used for older red wines, as the so-called tartar can settle during storage. If the bottle is decanted quickly, the sediment could get into the glass and affect the taste of the wine.
• When a wine is decanted, it should be aerated by decanting. Contact with oxygen allows the wine to gain more volume, "open up" and develop its bouquet. In contrast to decanters, wine carafes are usually used for younger wines to enhance the development of wine aromas.
