I’m happy with this one for everyday use, is thin enough to look/feel nice, sturdy enough to withstand knocks, and cheap enough not to worry too much about breaking.

Some years ago I picked up one very much like this in a charity shop for £2.50. it does a great job. To be fair I usually double decant so the wine is coming out of the decanter on its return journey very quickly! image

One of my favourites is the Visual Decanter. Tough, looks good and the large punt make it easily held securely.

Pasabahce, I have some of their glassware and it’s a good balance of quality & value.
One of the rounder shapes might be safer if you’re really concerned about robustness. I have a couple of these. In toughness terms I’d say they are significantly stronger than a standard wine bottle, and just behind a champagne bottle if that helps!

My everyday favourite, as seen in this thread. Labware.

Lastly the Stolzle Fire Red wine decanter has echoes of your old vessel but more robust and at a nice price.

Be very careful on this site - can be addictive, its one of the main companies for catering but they do a lot of good stuff as well as bulk hotel china etc:

I have one of these, but find it a bit of a pain to clean, so often use a jug instead.

Yeah, they can be a bit tricky. Usually I just rinse it out after use with very hot water, and make sure that any residue is wiped of the lip and neck…and then I have one of these that it rests on to dry:

Every once in a while I might rinse it with some decanter balls if there is any visible residue.

I got mine off ebay… £5 for a cut glass decanter with top! It was bought locally and they dropped it off for £1 petrol money!

Thanks everyone. Great suggestions here!

On the subject of cleaning I have found that steradent tablets do a good job at those hard to reach bits!

Just need to give it a good rinse afterwards!

I use a simple milk jug and save my decanter for when guests are round.

I must admit, in the absence of a working decanter, I double decanted using a plastic measuring jug which has worked a treat for this (which is delicious btw):

I also use a Pyrex jug for double decanting…

@szaki1974 Funnel or no funnel?

I don’t filter it, but do use a funnel (plastic… IKEA)

Thanks! It was a bit of a punt because I went staight in for 6 on the basis of recommendations on here. It’s very good. Really pleased.

I’ve gone in for the Marsannay on the EP offer…fingers crossed!

Incredible value. Cheers :wine_glass:
