Product Description

Crafted of polished stainless steel, this decanting funnel makes pouring wine from a bottle into a carafe so, so much easier. Simply rest the funnel in the neck, insert the filter to catch any dregs and sediment, and pour! There are eight tiny holes in the "stem" which aerate the wine as it is poured. This funnel could also be used for straining sauces, mulled cider and more.

Amazon.com Review
One of WMF's high-quality wine tools, this wide-mouth stainless-steel funnel is ideal for decanting red wine into a crystal serving vessel. It has a removable fine-mesh strainer for filtering out impurities and eight tiny holes in the neck to aerate the wine. Contemporary European in style, the funnel is heavy and handsome, and the stainless steel is high-grade 18/10 polished to a mirror finish. It measures 3-1/2 inches in diameter. --Fred Brack

Customer Reviews

Great funnel
I have been using the funnel regularly since I bought it as I have many aged bottles that require decanting.
It really does a great job

Pretty nice, but not perfect.
This funnel is pretty nice. The holes at the bottom cause the wine to cascade gently down the sides of a decanter. The finish is nice, and it fits well into my decanter. It will not fit into a bottle of wine, for those who like to decant and then re-bottle. My only gripe is that it is made by joining two pieces together--the upper dome-shaped part and the neck. A small pool of wine collects where these 2 pieces are joined. After decanting the wine, one needs to be careful with the funnel or a small amount of wine will spill.

A Must Have..Like My Grandfather Used
I don't really have any other insight to this funnel than has been said already...but my Italian Grandfather used something like this over 100 years ago for his home made red wine and I have followed in his footsteps. I remember him pouring wine out of a huge barrel through a spicket and putting it in a hand made glass decanter through a similar funnel. I didn't realize until much later in my life what he was doing...it aerated the wine, trapped some sediment, and got it ready to breathe in the decanter, right before dinner...like I now do with EVERY bottle of red wine I drink. You won't believe the difference in the taste of the wine. Incredibly simple and effective. Great investment if you drink even a few bottles of wine once in a while....but remember, you have to purchase a nice inexpensive glass decanter too!
