Wine decanter, decanter carafe for red wine or white wine

Proper handling of wine includes decanting and decantering. These are two different processes, which are often mentioned in the same breath: Decanting means the careful decanting of wine with the aim of separating it from the undesirable sediment. For older wines that run the risk of "tipping over" during this process, the carafe should have a narrow shape in order to offer only a small air mirror surface. For young wines, on the other hand, carafes with a wide base are used, so that the wine gets sufficient air contact over the large surface and can reach maturity. This process is called carafe. The bulbous carafes are also commonly referred to as "decanters". However, since there is no separation of wine and sediment here, the designation is technically incorrect.
