Glass decanters and crystal glass decanters are brilliant and beautiful; they have different shapes and unique personalities. In the process of tasting fine wine, the decanter can not only help the wine become more delicious, but also a beautiful scenery on the table.
As early as the Roman period, people have begun to use glass products, but with the fall of the Roman Empire, glass has become a scarce item. In the early 17th century, during the Renaissance in Italy, the Venetians brought glass products back into the public eye, and France began to use glass bottles and corks to seal wine from this time.
Later, it was gradually discovered that the aging of wine in glass bottles will produce sediment. In order to remove these deposits from the wine, people transferred the wine from the bottle to other containers, which gradually evolved into decanters. Most of the decanters at that time were made of glass or lead crystal glass, which could remove the sediment from the wine. In the 1830s, the British invented the decanter stopper to limit the contact area between the wine liquid and the air.
At the same time, with the application of glass wine bottles more and more widely, the production scale of wine decanters is also expanding, and manufacturers have also begun to develop other functions of wine decanters. Accepted by more people.
Since the 19th century, removing the sediment in the wine is no longer the primary function of the decanter. People pay more attention to its decorative function to show their own taste and personality (if it is in a solemn living room, crystal glass The decanter also comes with a silver base). Now, the crystal glass decanter also has a variety of specifications to match different types and capacities of wine and spirits.
After the two world wars, people's pace of life became faster and faster, and the elegant but time-consuming object of the wine decanter gradually moved out of the kitchen and dining table. Nowadays, with the wide application of decanters, it has also become a very controversial topic. Some people think that changing the bottle of wine and increasing the contact between wine and oxygen will lose some of the original aroma of wine, and decanting can not be done. and some people pay great attention to the aesthetic value of the decanter. Although there are many debates, people have never stopped using decanters to pursue a more refined and elegant life.
