RIEDEL Escargot Decanter

RIEDEL Escargot Decanter
Wine Decanter | Handmade Crystal Glass | 750mL Capacity | 150mm Height | Black Accent | Spiral Snail-Shell Inspired Design
Process & Profile
RIEDEL Escargot Decanter is a handmade crystal glass wine decanter designed with a compact spiral shape inspired by a snail’s shell. Its sculptural form gives wine service a stylish, modern look while still serving a practical purpose for aeration, presentation, and tableside pouring.
The Escargot Decanter uses an innovative double-decanting design that helps young wines open with freshness and vibrancy. Its wide, curved body gives wine room to breathe, allowing aromas to develop and tannins to soften before serving. The black accent stripe is created by adding a rod of black crystal glass into the molten glass before forming, giving the decanter a bold graphic contrast.
Each RIEDEL handmade decanter is individually mouth-blown by master glassblowers in European workshops, which means small variations may occur from piece to piece. With a 750mL capacity, this decanter is crafted to hold a standard bottle of wine and is presented in a RIEDEL-branded gift box, making it a strong choice for wine lovers, collectors, dinner hosts, and luxury gifting.

How to Use
Pour a standard 750mL bottle of wine into the RIEDEL Escargot Decanter and allow the wine to rest before serving. Young red wines, fuller-bodied whites, and wines that benefit from aeration can open up in the decanter, helping release aromas and soften the texture before pouring.
Serve directly from the decanter at the table for a more polished wine presentation. Because this is a handmade crystal glass piece with a delicate sculptural shape, it should be handled carefully and washed by hand only. RIEDEL notes that bottle-cleaning beads are not recommended for this product because they may become lodged inside the decanter.
