What is decanting and why is it important?

Decanting wine and carafing wine are similar, but serve different purposes.

Decanting involves carefully pouring—usually an older red wine—into a decanter, leaving the sediment (or lees) behind in the bottle. This results in a clear, clean wine without any bitter notes. First, stand the bottle upright so the sediment sinks to the bottom and pour slowly, perhaps using a light behind the neck to see when the sediment has been reached.

Decanting is all about aerating wine. Younger wines, in particular, benefit from extra oxygen, which allows aromas to unfold more quickly and the flavor to become softer and more rounded. Use a wide-bottomed decanter for maximum oxygen contact.

Light wines often require 15 to 30 minutes of decanting, while full-bodied red wines need 45 to 90 minutes to breathe.

Unsure whether to carafe or decant? Start with a brief aeration and taste in between – you'll immediately notice the difference.

Decanters – hand-blown precision for pure taste

Mémoire carafes are almost exclusively hand-blown from high-quality crystal or glass. Each carafe is designed with a wide base for maximum oxygen absorption and a narrow neck for controlled pouring.

The flowing shapes not only provide an optimal ventilation surface, but also an elegant presentation on the table.

Whether you're serving a robust red wine or a crisp white wine, a Mémoire carafe turns every moment into a refined experience.

Crystal wine glasses – refinement in every detail

Our crystal glasses are designed to enhance the unique characteristics of each wine.

The thin rim and perfectly shaped bowl deliver the wine directly to the right place in the mouth, so that taste and aroma come together optimally.

From generous red wine glasses to refined white wine glasses – each glass reflects the quality and elegance that Mémoire stands for.

Champagne flutes – sparkling enjoyment

A celebratory occasion calls for the right glass. The Mémoire champagne flutes preserve the bubbles longer and enhance the aroma of sparkling wines.

The sleek shape keeps the mousse vibrant, while the crystal glass amplifies every light reflection. Perfect for dinner, a toast, or an intimate moment of enjoyment.

How to maintain your decanter and glasses

To enjoy your glassware for a long time, it is important to clean it carefully:

  • Rinse the carafe immediately after use with lukewarm water to prevent wine residue.
  • It is best not to use dishwashing liquid as this can leave behind odors.
  • Let the carafe dry on a carafe drying rack for a streak-free result.
  • Polish glasses with a soft, lint-free cloth for maximum shine.

With the right maintenance, your carafes and glasses will remain clear, hygienic and durable.
