Riedel 26-1/2-oz. Tyrol Crystal Decanter

Riedel 26-1/2-oz. Tyrol Crystal Decanter

Riedel 26-1/2-oz. Tyrol Crystal Decanter

The name Tyrol commemorates Riedel`s new start 50 years ago in Austria in the federal State of Tyrol. Riedel’s Tyrol Decanter combines sophistication and elegance. Its long, low shape allows maximum aeration for young and vintage wines. This process releases flavors and aromas, which enhance the attributes of your wine by exposing it to oxygen. This unique piece is designed with a sleek neck for comfortable grip and an angled opening for graceful, drip-free pouring. It is the perfect addition to any wine collection. Crafted from lead crystal in Austria. “Decanting old wines, just a few moments before they are served, helps to ensure that the wines’ clarity and brilliance are not obscured by any deposit that may have developed over time. Decanting young wines several hours before they are served gives the wine a chance to bloom and attain a stage of development that normally requires years of aging.” (Thoughts on decanting by Christian Moueix)

Cork Pops Legacy Wine Opener

Cork Pops Legacy Wine Opener

The CorkPops Legacy Wine Bottle Opener is the successor to the wildly popular cork pops I, II, & III series. It is truly the fastest, easiest way to open a bottle of wine, just press the button on the top and the cork exits the bottle with a light, pleasing pop. Then just gently twist the handle counterclockwise to effortlessly remove the cork. The secret is this wine bottle corkscrew utilizes a low-pressure cartridge to gently remove the cork from the bottle without affecting the taste of the wine or harming the environment. The Corkpops Legacy has a user friendly rubberized finish, built-in foil remover, patented cork ejector, and hardened steel needle that will go through both cork and plastic corks with ease. It comes packaged with one cartridge which will open 60-80 bottles of wine. Makes a great gift for a wine connoisseur or novice alike!
