Why is wine decanter of “narrow mouth and wide bowl”?
Wine decanter is usually in the shape of “narrow mouth and wide
bowl”, for wide bowl enables the red wine to fully contact with air and
generate fragrance after oxidation, while narrow mouth is convenient for
concentrating fragrance inside the glass. Wine decanter is essentially used for
maximizing the contact area of red wine with air and at the same time not taking
away the aroma of wine, retaining the original taste of red wine and achieving the
highest wine-appreciating realm.
