Amazon.com Review
Made in Austria by the world's most-renowned wineglass maker (Riedel Crystal, founded in 1756), this decanter allows sediment to settle, clarifying any older red wine. Even with a young, sediment-free wine, the decanter makes a beautiful serving vessel by displaying the wine's color. It's machine blown of brilliant 24 percent lead crystal and conforms to Riedel's exacting standards: colorless, transparent, and thin-walled. It holds 37-1/8 ounces, ample for a 750-milliliter bottle of wine, and measures 9 inches high. Its graceful, outwardly curved neck provides a secure grip when pouring. Riedel crystal is used by fine restaurants all over the world and thus must stand up to frequent trips through a dishwasher. But because lead crystal has a soft, coarse surface to convey intense aromas, Riedel recommends the decanter be hand washed. --Fred Brack

Summary: appears small but isn't 2006-01-01
Comment: I'm very happy with this purchase. It does appear small, but easily holds a 750 ml bottle with room to spare. Looks nice on the table. Good price and quality relative to what else is available at Amazon or other stores like Crate & Barrel.

Summary: Great for wine and other uses 2005-05-27
Comment: Yes, it is made to be a decanter for half bottles, but yes it does easily hold a full bottle. What I use this decanter for is to have a nice presentation of the wine at dinner. So, I decant it then pour 2 to 4 glasses, and the rest of the wine sits in the decanter on the table until it is consummed. If you use it in the same manner, you do not have to worry about the size (but again, it fits an entire bottle so do not fret about size unless you need maximum air contact). I also bought a second one and use it as a water pitcher to have at the table, and guests love it.

Summary: Small decanter -- definitely not designed for full bottles. 2005-04-29
Comment: This is a lovely decanter -- but it was never meant for serving a full bottle. I use it to serve not-so-leftover wines (the Vacu-vin is great) or when one person wants red and another wants white. It also holds the rest of the bottle after the first glasses are poured (or if you poured from a large bottle or jug) -- and it looks much nicer on the table.

Summary: I bought a second one 2004-05-20
Comment: This decanter handily holds 750 ml (one bottle), but it has the most surface area at 375 ml. So if you are wanting a decanter to get rid of bottle sediment or just to be used as a serving implement, this is great. And cheap, too.If you want to get the maximum aeration, you'll have to choose a different decanter. I recently bought a second one, and was interested to see how rose-colored my first one is in comparison to the second one. These are inexpensive, so it is probably worth it to have one that you reserve for whites and one you use for reds. It's very hard to clean the red wine color out, even using a bottle brush.
