We often think of the old standards when choosing to trick out our bars and bar carts. Our minds immediately go to the obvious needs of having and hosting. We gather the wine and cocktail glasses, the alcohol, the coasters, the paper straws. Think about adding a decanter to your entertaining station. Wine enthusiasts will be simply thrilled to have a glass of whatever your bar is serving up.
Decanters are traditionally used as vessels for serving wine. While that is “the norm,” decanters can also be used to serve liquors, such as cognac and whiskey. These vessels come in all different shapes and sizes, making it rare to come across the same one twice. Some shapes are a little more common, though there are plenty of unexpected options. Whether you are shopping for a gift or for yourself, we’ve got that bar covered. We’ve wrangled up some of the best around, giving you the best chances of impressing your guests!
