The bottle is going to be gone in a few hours, so I don't see the point

What about for whisky or similar?

Good way to serve wine from tetrapaks.

Fuck you.

Uh, yea, that's what I'm talking about

>>6894161
What you've posted is specifically a decanter for (red) wine. The flat bottom allows more contact with the air and makes it easier for sediment to settle.

Pic related is what's usually used for spirits.
There isn't much of a reason to use it other than design. There used to me more of a point to it. People would directly fill these from the cask.

>No decantering from such a height pic
I'm proud of you /ck/.

>>6894175
Not OP. I just said I'll be finishing any bottle I have within the night, so I don't see the point of a decanter

>>6894156
>>6894158
Closet? He seems pretty fucking out to me.

finding and buying a decanter like this is one of my life goals

>inb4 decanteringfromsuchaheight.png

>>6894114
Only reason I'd own one is if I inherited it, or found a nice one at goodwill. otherwise see no reason to buy one.

My roommate picked this one shaped like the liberty bell at a flea market.

Protip: You're not supposed to fill the to the neck

>>6894114
I don't see what the matter is.
If I'm opening a 15yo bottle of Amarone, it's obvious that unless I'm stupid and I found it in the middle of the way, I'm going to let it breathe before drinking it. I wouldn't be able to taste it the way it's supposed to, otherwise.

This place seems to be filled with ignorant people devoured by a weird urge to be hateful no matter what, about things they don't know, lately.

That's America for you.

I love using them if you have a bar or place to show the liqueur. I bought one at a thrift store with some old glasses.
Found out the decanter was lead crystal and I can't even hold liquid in it for long without the lead leaching into the booze.

I prefer klein bottles

>>6894851
*That's the internet for you

I feel as though they are a bit unnecessary but if that's what you like then go for it.

>>6894114
I have a monogrammed decantur that I keep whiskey in.

I like it. Puts you above animals that drink straight from the bottle.

>>6894863
...does that pour out of the base???


IS THAT A REAL THING?!?!

...does it get gross if you set it in a pile of bread crumbs?

>>6894871
>monogrammed
Way to shoot your snootiness in the foot.

>>6894880
Way to fall for the troll.

>>6894175
are you a kike or a nigger? Thats not a wine decanter.

>>6894887
The troll still probably believes that monograms are remotely non-vulgar.

>>6894851
What's the point, though? Going out of your way to post blatantly useless if not straigh meaningless opinions on a cooking board.
I've been here for almost a decade, still the reason for it doesn't fail to escape me.
Maybe I'm just getting old.

>>6894876
Genuine Klein bottles are impossible in the real world because it passes through itself without leaving a hole.

But you can buy ones that appear to look real (the spout passes through a hole in the glass)

Because of inferiority complexes. People like that most likely struggle with something in their lives and can't imagine the idea that someone could be having an easier time or taking a different approach.

It's inherent in the American system, this culture of veiled envy and the public condemnation of inferiority.

>>6894114

They're neat. I'd buy one but none of my friends drink anything you'd put in one.

>>6894859
Lead tastes sweet.

>Parents have a whole collection of beautiful glassware. Two spirits ones, port, wine, tumblers, wine glasses, sherry glasses. etc...
>Used as decoration

This really pisses me off.

glass artist here; decanters are underrated

I make them all the time just for kicks, as they are excellent skill builders

also buy from your local glass shop (if you have one)

I like the look o f decanters, but I don't care for them in practice.

That said, I do own a few I picked up off a old couple who were selling them at a garage/yard sale. They look nice, but I don't use them for alcohol.

>>6894891
learn to read... he said "this one is for spirit, not for wine"

and its a carafe (decanter) btw ...

>>6894324
this

only old red wines need to be decanted and need oxigen to developed the full taste/smell

>>6894117
>>6894161
carafe decanter came from a time spirits were sold in barrels, not in bottles like today, so if you not have a barrel of whisky or brandy in your basement you don't need a carafe decanter

>>6895775
piss all over yourself and die

>tfw you don't have a barrel of whisky in your basement

Red wine probably should be decanted, I never have with white wine though.

As for whiskey decanters, I use them all the time. Whenever my wife and I have dinner guests over that I don't really like (her friends, for instance) I always put some cheap ass whiskey/vodka/whatever in it and don't tell them that it's cheap. They drink it and act like they're drinking a super premium imported spirit or something when really it's a bottle of Wild Turkey or something (not talking shit about Wild Turkey, I love the stuff)

>>6894114
It's good for a nice red wine. It lets the wine aerate and also looks nice to impress your bird's parents.

That kind of bottle though isn't useful for that and is a bitch to clean. There wont be much aeration from a little necked fancy bottle like that.

>>6894324
That's stupid looking and useless.
If you want to decant you want something that you can pour into giving it air and also useful for pouring, but you it to be stylish.

That thing is plain douchebag looking.

>>6894863
fixed that for you

I detect a lot of anger anon. Why are you so angry in a discussion about decanters on an Fijian cycling discussion forum anon?

I don't have much use for spirits in decanters but they're absolutely necessary if I'm opening a good vintage Port or Madeira.

>>6894324
Protip: that decanter doesn't have a flat bottom. my point stands

>>6894158
>>6894156
You two should get a room.

>>6894255
That is a pretty good way to get a nice crystal one. It's only for show but sometimes that show is necessary.

>>6894218
how poor are you

>>6896745
Do you fundementally not grasp how decanters work?

>>6896978
To be fair, an actual antique *lead crystal* cut decanter can be in the $1000-$2000 range.

On the other hand a 1920's cut glass decanter is available even on eBay for about $50
