Rabbit Pura Decanting System, One Size, Glass

We bought my in laws this as a gift for Christmas and it lasted 2 years without breaking! When it eventually broke they said they could not drink their wine anymore without it. It helped the flavor so much. So.....we bought them another one. Worth it!

If you know nothing about wine, then trust me, this will help your wine taste smoother instead of stinging in the back of your throat. It removes the bite from red wine. I can't believe we never knew about this until now. We're just learning about wine and are so pleased how fast this works. Some less expensive wines may need additional breathing, but even then, it's amazing the difference it makes. Just amazing! You don't have to let it breath at all or not as long.Because it is hand blown glass, you may see imperfections in the glass. Don't worry about it. That's natural, as someone pointed out to me.The glass is very thin and fragile, just like fine crystal. If you're accident prone, this item is not for you. Otherwise, just be sure to wash it in the sink without anything else in there. It is also helpful to place a towel on the bottom if you think you may hit it and break it. The towel acts like a cushion. I haven't used that for anything in decades, but I thought I'd share it.

We have owned this decanter for over 6 years works great. I don't understand why some reviews say it breaks easily. I think they're just not being careful.

Full disclosure, I got this yesterday and have decanted all of one bottle of wine. That said, here are my initial impressions.My biggest disappointment was that the decanter is not dripless. When you pour wine from the decanter into a glass, a drop of wine runs down the outside. Much the same as what happens with many wine bottles. This is not a deal breaker for me, but for $50+ I would have expected better.Secondly, I'm not sure how much the aerator really does. It's sort of like a sealed funnel, but with about 5 holes drilled into it. It does force the wine into 5 separate streams, but I was expecting a finer mist than this delivers. That said, I opened a bottle of wine and poured it into the decanter about 2 hours before drinking. The wine seemed to me to be notably softer. I tend to drink relatively cheap ($10 - $12) heavy red wines (Cabs, Chiantis, Bourdeaxs, etc.) and this does seem to open them up and make them more drinkable. The only question in my mind is would they have opened up about the same by simply pouring the wine directly into the decanter... or does the aerator speed the process?On the positive side, the filter is a good addition. There was no residue in the bottle I drank yesterday, but I have gotten this in other bottles and the screen filter would appear to help on this count. Not sure I would have bought this if it didn't come with a filter.Bottom line, I still gave this four stars primarily because I liked what it did to the wine. Other positives are the screen filter, and the packaging is attractive. The negatives are the non-dripless construction of the decanter, and the price. I could easily see this being sold for $30 or $35.I'm neutral on the aerator as I am not sure if it actually helps or not. I might try drinking the next bottle sooner after opening, which would allow me to judge better.

This decanter is amazing. Easy to clean and aerates as well. Also keeps the sediment in the decanter and out of you glass. It’s well balanced and easy to pour. When you fill just poor slow

This was a gift to my girl friend. It looks small but it’s really not. It looks like you are swishing around something in a since lab. The filter and strain are cool to watch, but you need to put a napkin down before you put the top part down because there is always some left over in it. Only bad thing I read about it is the top part can break easily. It is very thin, but as long as you don’t drop it or bang it hard against something I sure it will be fine. Not a wine expert but I think it makes the wine taste better.

Need to be extremely careful cleaning this. The removable aerator broke within a month of us getting this.

This was a gift to my husband who only drinks red wine. He LOVES it, and so do I. It has honestly made red wine tolerable for me LOL. It is extremely well made, easy to use, and there is a noticable difference in the taste of your wine. It also looks cool, so that's a plus. so far no cracks or issues with cleaning.
