Sophisticated Sipping

PORTO DECANTER SET


This product was made by hand. Click icon for more information. Sure to spark conversation, these sophisticated, hand-blown serving pieces date back to 17th century Europe where they were known as Schnapps Pfeiffen.

These unique-looking glasses are designed especially for savoring port, dessert wines or other liqueurs. Cradle the bowl in your hand to warm the contents, then sip slowly through the pipe, which flows from the bottom of the glass so there is little chance for the liquids to oxidize, enhancing the flavor. Made in China.

Comments about PORTO DECANTER SET:

The decanter and glasses were a bit smaller than I had anticipated. But, I think my grandmother will still enjoy them, if only to look at and not use.

Comments about PORTO DECANTER SET:

All-in-all this is a fine decanter. The straws built into the handles seem to confuse people - they ask if they're supposed to sip it somehow, and I explain that they are in fact straws to sip from. Not at all a problem, but a little funny. No one expects to drink wine through a straw I guess!\n\nOnly complaint is that the whole thing feels fairly cheap. The cups have almost no weight, and feel quite thin. The hanging hooks work well. It comes with four cups (couldn't quite tell from the photo), and the main decanter works fairly well.
