Allow fine wines a chance to breathe, releasing their fullest flavors and scents, by first pouring them into this decorative lead crystal wine decanter. The decanter includes a stopper for the top to close your wine when the evening's over and a long, graceful neck that gently swoops down to a large holding reservoir at the bottom, maximizing the wine's oxygen exposure. The decanter holds 30-1/4-ounces, more than enough to hold a standard-sized, 750-milliliter wine bottle. This is one of four Cristal D'Arques Longchamp decanters; two with capacities of 25-1/4-ounces are available, as is one with a capacity of 16-3/4-ounces. Always a classic, you'll be sure to keep the decanter for years and years.

The Cristal D'Arques Longchamp collection adds a celebratory air to any occasion. It's always the right choice for special moments when only crystal is appropriate. It's also great for giving an added emphasis to less formal events. Designed and made in France, the pattern is made of 24 percent full lead crystal and includes deep, diamond-shaped bevels that capture and refract light at interesting angles. Cristal D'Arques Longchamp was introduced more than 40 years ago, and so includes many accessories; buy this decanter to begin a collection or to add to an already existing one. If given proper care, it's durable enough to stand up to years of use. If washing in a dishwasher, use a liquid or gel detergent suitable for decorated or delicate items and wash on a gentle cycle. If hand washing, use lukewarm, soapy water and a soft sponge and dry with a soft cloth. --Jeff Dalto
