A decanter isn’t just a decanter. There are so many options! I love the Eravino Wine Decanter Breather Carafe.

This allows you to pour the wine into the decanter or pour it back into the bottle – no spills! The wine will only aerate when it connects with the air.

I loved using The Wine Check when we traveled to Italy! It’s a perfect tool for bringing wine home with you as checked luggage. What I like about the The Wine Check is that it’s foldable when the shipper box is removed, so it can easily fit inside your travel luggage, say on your way to wine country. Pop it out, insert a cardboard or Styrofoam insert wine shippers (12 bottle), which you can pick up at most wineries and voila. The Wine Check also features carrying handles and pull strap with wheels making it easier to use around the airport.
We didn’t have one drop spill when we used this on our way back from the Piedmont wine region in Italy.
