Whimsical in design yet brilliant in function, the Riedel Escargot Decanter combines artistry with innovation. Created in 2011, this handmade crystal decanter draws its name and inspiration from its snail-like shape, offering both a visual conversation piece and a powerful aeration tool.

Its signature black accent—a graceful stripe of black crystal swirled into the clear glass—adds a modern twist to its curvaceous silhouette. But the Escargot is more than just a showpiece: its unique form enables double decanting, a clever method that actively aerates the wine while you pour. As the decanter tips, an internal air vacuum gently bubbles oxygen through the wine, enhancing aroma, depth, and complexity.
