Over a few months that shifts both the strength and the balance of what you poured in. \u003cstrong\u003eA stopper that seats properly is the difference between a decanter and an ornament\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is why the fit at the neck matters more than anything else about the piece. It is also the reason spirits keep well in a decanter while wine does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSix Across a Shelf\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne decanter is a bottle you have moved. Six identical ones become a run, and a run of matching glass reads differently: the eye follows the line rather than stopping on a single object. The colors do the rest, since whiskey, rum, brandy and gin all sit at different depths of amber through clear glass. Six also means a shelf, not a tray, so measure the run before the box arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Skull Does Two Jobs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe molding is the obvious half. The less obvious half is that a shaped stopper gives your fingers something to turn, which a plain glass knob does not. Anyone who has tried to lift a flat stopper out of a decanter with slightly damp hands knows why grip matters on a part that is meant to seal tightly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFilling, Sealing and Cleaning\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat should go in a decanter like this?\u003c\/strong\u003e Any spirit.
