Father’s Day is just about here, and in these hot days of summer, there may be no better way to give your loved one the gift that he deserves than a crystal decanter and glass set. The heat is hot, and that father in your household works hard, so this is a great way to get him what he needs in order to cool down in the evening. Even the best bottles of vintage wine generally benefit from a decanting so that they are served as the excellence that they were meant to be enjoyed as.

Red wine, in particular, is the type of wine which is mostly likely to benefit. After somewhere between 5 to 10 years in a bottle, there is almost certainly to be some sediment which has formed as potassium bitartrate crystals as well as other possible impurities. A cloudy appearance when stirred and a different tasting sensation can all be avoided through the use of a crystal decanter for the best wines and brandies. Besides just the elimination of nuisance sediment, older wines can also generally be invigorated through the aeration that a decanter set provides. This is a hot subject among tasting enthusiasts, but it is definitely better to err on the side of caution so that he is ready on Father’s Day. Waterford decanters are some of the top quality names that are associated with elegance. Most of these decanters and glasses look so great that there is a reason to enjoy them even if the type of wine being enjoyed does not require any extra treatment. There is a myriad of patterns to choose from, and the pattern is generally consistent across the set so that the glasses are adorned with the same beautiful decor.  Expert crafters in the past had to be well-versed in special techniques in order to create such masterpieces, and now the modern sets all usually have some of that tradition honored in their layout. You need a Father’s Day gift that matches that sense of singularity that the dad in your home accentuates, and there is a host of designers who have added their own touches to these pieces of artwork. Depending on the intended use of the decanter when it is filled, there may be a reason not to use a stopper at all, but it certainly makes a great addition for when it is needed as well. If the wine is just aerating, then there really is no reason to be concerned about putting the top on it. However, when it is near time to serve or dad just wants to show off a little bit of his good taste, then a complementary stopper will look excellent in the opening. There are even various materials to choose from such as wood, but most believe that a matching glass stopper keeps everything in excellent form.
