Pitchers and Decanters Buying Guide
Looking for that extra touch of classic elegance for your home or party? A pitcher or decanter says that you know your drinks 
, and absolutely oozes class. Made from glass or crystal , pitchers and decanters display your drinks and aerate your wines. If any wine sniffing guests are expected, a decanter or carafe can hold an entire bottle for separation of sediment, softening of tannins, and general breathing and swilling. For special bottles of alcohols or other liquids, like lemonade, a decanter or pitcher can make it more accessible for drinking, as well as exhibit the drink for aesthetic pleasure. Pitchers, decanters and carafes are available in classic shapes, as well as in more modern cuts, so it will be sure to match your décor.
What To Look For
First off, what do you need your vessel for? Aerating red wines? Displaying whites? Separating sediment? Showing off scotches? Decorating a room? Serving orange juice? Depending on your need, there are many containers available to you. There are certain shapes or volumes that work best with specific wines, and are sold as such. Other things to consider are whether or not you are going for Victorian elegance or modern class in your decorating style--this matters to certain people you probably live and/or interact with. Check with them first. Remember that while some decanters or pitchers can go in the dishwasher, many can't, and cleaning them takes special care, so check the box or with the manufacturer if you're not sure. There are many products available for better decanter cleaning, such as bottle cleaner beads ,drying racks, bottle brushes ,decanter drying stands , and cleaning wands . Also, keep in mind, certain wines don't work with decanters, and could be damaged if stored improperly. If wine has become a passion, think about subscribing to a wine magazine . And remember, decanters and pitchers are purely for your enjoyment of your chosen drink, so take pleasure from it, pick one that suits you, your tastes, and your needs. Relish it.
