Mamba Decanter
The alluring Mamba decanter channels the vigor of the famous Black Mamba, the world's fastest snake.
The Mamba is recommended for young wines as its coiled and upright stance creates a series of air pockets that "double decant" the wine. As the wine journeys through the curvaceous glass, it emits a gurgle: an aural reminder of the vigorous decanting due to its design. Both old and young wines can benefit from decanting, whether to remove sediment or make them smoother and rounder. This product is made of clear crystal glass and is designed to hold a single bottle of wine.

Why decant a wine?
- aged wine - to eliminate the deposits that have formed over the years. Decant an aged wine just before serving.
- young wine - to gain some maturity, aerating will 'soften' the wine. Decant a young wine up to several hours before serving (depending on its origin and structure).
- champagne - to "awaken" a vintage champagne. Decant just before serving (to avoid excessive oxidation caused by the effervescence).
