What exactly does "decanting wine" mean? Should you use a special wine decanting funnel? How long does it take to decant wine? Does decanting wine into something other than a crystal or glass wine decanter make a difference?

These are common questions for people that are considering adding to their wine accessories by buying a wine decanter. the short answers are:

• decanting wine means pouring it into a larger vessel to let it mix with air
• yes, there are funnels made just for decanting wine
• the time depends on the wine, anywhere from 15 minutes to 3 hours
• wine should be decanted into glass or crystal wine decanters because it will be sitting in them for a while, you can serve wine from silver wine decanters, but for decanting wine it is better to use glass or crystal wine decanters.

So know you are ready to look for "just the right" wine decanter and it just so happens that you will find some great bargains and deals, (maybe even some cheap crystal wine decanters), in some of the ebay listings highlighted below.
