Let It Breathe
ancient romans are often credited with pioneering the use of glass decanters. this glass carafe from L’Atelier du Vin refines the oxygenation process and sifts out some of the elements of sulphur dioxide with its silver-plated filter ball called the developer. Pouring wine through its six grooves helps the liquid flow evenly in the vessel. us$150 momastore.org
Swirl and Sip
If you thought a wine’s taste was solely based on the quality of its grape, think again. riedel’s sommelier series’ large bowls are made from 24 percent lead crystal so drinkers can really enjoy a wine’s complex aromas and flavors. Sipping Merlot could easily turn into a new experience. us$105.95 each; crystalclassics.com; riedel.com
Shaken, Not Stirred
even if your bartending skills are limited, the chiringuito cocktail shaker from alessi will help you look the part. Form indeed meets function: Israeli designer ron arad added a twist to the item’s sculptural shape that imitates the motion of the liquid inside. the shaker also has an interior strainer that ensures more liquor in your martini glass than on your tabletop. us$195; alessi.com
