Air has to reach the wine for the tannins to soften and the closed, slightly sour smell of a just-opened bottle to blow off, and that happens across the top of the liquid - which is why pouring a bottle into a tall narrow carafe achieves very little. The U-shaped bowl here is the opposite approach: the wine runs down the long curve, spreads across a wide base and sits shallow, so a young red is noticeably rounder after twenty minutes. It holds 1500 ml, which is a full bottle with enough headroom left to swirl without wearing it. The spout is drawn out to a fine lip so the pour breaks cleanly instead of dribbling down the outside, and the open curve makes it straightforward to rinse and stand upside down to dry - not something you can say of every decanter with a narrow waist. Empty, it is a piece of glass worth leaving on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the shape matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAeration happens at the surface.
