Read on to learn more about NUDE glass decanters, their use, and why the appeal of a well-crafted crystal decanter remains so popular.
Modern Handcrafted Decanter Models
For centuries, a cut crystal decanter set in the home, stateroom, or office has been a symbol of style and sophistication.
Historically, a crystal whiskey decanter was seen as a status symbol, used only by the affluent and the elite, who displayed them prominently on tables and cabinets in their homes and offices.
Today, the elegance of crystal liquor decanters is still associated with style and elegance. However, leading modern glassware brands like NUDE now use innovative, lead-free crystalline and the latest glassware technology to craft incredible modern decanters, wine, and water carafes that appeal to the younger generations.
Modern decanter gift sets, such as the NUDE Balance and Terroir Gift Set, are a unique play with the classic and contemporary. This set is as eye-catching as it is sleek and simple. It features a beautifully crafted, handmade, lead-free crystal carafe balancing at an angle on a smooth, circular wooden base. It is paired with two NUDE Terroir wine glasses and is ideal as a gift or display piece in any traditional or modern setting.
Likewise, the NUDE Oxygen Wine Decanter with Cork Stopper has a modern aesthetic. With clean, transparent lines, a curvaceous silhouette, and a stunning cork orb stopper at the top, it is a real showpiece that can be used to present fine wine or many other beverages.
Crystal Decanters for Wine Lovers
You can elevate the taste and appearance of any vintage or new-generation white or red wine by using a glass wine decanter.
The art of decanting wine dates to ancient Rome, when decanters for wine were used to let the wine aerate and breathe so that the full flavor and bouquet were released.
Decanting wine also helps to separate impurities and allows any residue to fall to the base, enhancing the drinking experience.
Classic decanters, with designs and shapes based on a classic Roman and European wine carafe, are still popular today. Used at home or in many fine-dining restaurants and wine houses, decanters like the NUDE Vintage Wine Decanter with Cork Stopper raise the bar in terms of craftsmanship and artistry. This piece is cut from clear lead-free crystal in a classic, familiar shape reminiscent of times gone by, yet retains a pop of contemporary appeal with the addition of a circular stopper.
Although NUDE vintage decanters are bestsellers, as the enjoyment of fine wine and wine decanting has evolved, so has the design of crystal wine decanters. Today, sleek, pure, and minimalist glassware appeals to the majority, and that’s where we excel—NUDE is a leading global glassware brand known for its “simple is beautiful” approach.

Types of Decanters
Aside from adding elegance to a space and their aesthetic appeal, crystal decanters have a practical purpose, and you will find several types of decanters and carafes for sale in the NUDE decanter collection.
- Crystal Whiskey Decanters: Many whiskey lovers like to decant and aerate their liquor before pouring it, as it is believed to enhance the flavor and aroma of a fine Malt or Scotch whiskey. The NUDE No.9 Whiskey Decanter is ideal for this purpose. Crafted from NUDE signature lead-free crystal, this Scotch decanter has a streamlined, heavy-bottomed shape and sculptural stopper. It is classically attractive and a fitting addition to any tabletop or office bar setup. It can also be used as a bourbon decanter and paired with glasses from the NUDE whiskey glass range.
- White and Red Wine Decanter: Introducing oxygen to wine and transferring it into a wine decanter promotes the subtle flavors to develop and allows any sediment to settle at the bottom. This elevates the drinking experience and is why many wine connoisseurs use a NUDE wine decanter like the NUDE Jazz Wine Decanter or a decanter set such as the NUDE Vintage and Terroir Gift Set.
- Water Carafe and Water Decanter: It’s not just Scotch, wine, and liquor that can be decanted; water also benefits from rest and aeration! NUDE carafes for water come in various designs and look fabulous on the table, ready to keep everyone hydrated.
From a gift of the best bourbon decanter to a classic whiskey decanter set for your home, the NUDE decanter range is sure to add sophistication and style to its lucky recipient.
