Review of Metrokane Houdini Decanter with Wine Shower Funnel and Sediment Strainer

I purchased two of these as Christmas presents; one for a son that is into quality wines and another for myself and my wife.I have done a number of tests, where I open a bottle of red wine and pour some directly into one glass and then pour the remainder of the bottle into the houdini decanter through the funnel/strainer.Then I pour some from the decanter into a second glass.The difference in taste is amazing.

I highly recommend the funnel-decanting process to everyone as a way of improving the flavor and taste of red wines.

Now for the downsides.The houdini decanter works great at improving taste, but it is really hard to clean and hard to store.I end up hand washing it and balancing it upside down on a kitchen towel between a number of things to aid in the drying.Then I have to find a special place to store the decanter, as it takes up a lot of room.

If I were to do this over again, I will look for a decanter that probably doesn't have as broad a base and has some kind of cap to it so that it can store wine for the next night.

Still, I use this decanter-strainer combination most weeks and am really glad I purchased it.My son also love the one we got for him.As a result it was worth it, as it makes a $5-$12 bottle of red wine taste like a much more expensive bottle of wine.
