Why is a red wine decanter made of glass

A decanter is a utensil used for drinking newly fermented wine. Its function is to allow the wine to come into contact with the air, fully volatilize the aroma of the wine, and separate the sediment in the wine.

The shape symbol of a decanter is usually a long neck and a large belly, and with the change of fashion trends, various new types of containers are emerging one after another.

The first generation decanter is a classic water droplet shaped structure that can usually be seen; The bottle mouth of the second generation decanter is opened above the side, and the shape of the bottle is formed by combining two triangles; The third generation decanter has a similar style to the first generation decanter, with narrow top and wide bottom, and elegant lines.

The fundamental purpose of the evolution of decanter is to maximize the contact area between red wine and the air, while preventing the aroma from sneaking away. After removing the fishy smell, the original taste of red wine can be preserved, and direct tasting cannot truly experience the taste.
