Which Decanter Suits Your Needs?

The Difference Decanter by Erika Lagerbielke is mouth-blown in Sweden with a wide body built for full aeration, available in standard and magnum sizes. The Enjoy Decanter and Carafe offer a more casual approach, pairing a bowl-shaped decanter with a slim carafe, both dishwasher safe. The Street and City decanters are cut-crystal vessels with cork stoppers designed to preserve spirits between pours. For a more distinctive touch, the Intermezzo and Metropol carafes are handcrafted in Sweden with a signature colored drop sealed inside the glass.

What began in the forests of Småland, Sweden grew into a legacy of elegance shaped by pioneering artists and generations of skilled glassblowers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes an Orrefors crystal decanter different from ordinary glass?

Orrefors crystal decanters are shaped by named Swedish designers whose work spans decades of award-winning innovation. Lead-free crystal provides a level of clarity, weight, and light refraction that standard glass cannot match, making every pour look and feel elevated. Several pieces, including the Difference decanter and Intermezzo carafe, are mouth-blown glass produced by expert glassblowers at our Swedish factory. We carry on a tradition that stretches back to 1898. Discover our story.

When should I decant wine, and which decanter should I use?

Decanting benefits both a young wine that needs to open up and a mature wine that may have sediment. For bold reds, the Difference Decanter's wide vessel allows maximum aeration so aromas can develop fully. For lighter wines or everyday pouring, the Enjoy or Share carafe offers a more casual approach. Spirit lovers will prefer a classic decanter like the Street or City, which feature a cork stopper to preserve taste between pours.

What occasions are Orrefors decanters best suited for as gifts?

A crystal decanter is a gift that feels both personal and timeless. Popular choices include wedding presents, anniversary milestones, housewarming surprises, and holiday gifts for anyone who appreciates fine wine or spirits. For a complete set, add matching wine glasses or tumblers, or select the Erik 3 Piece Set as a ready-made gift any wine enthusiast or spirit lover will treasure. Orrefors gift cards are also available for any special occasion.

Do you offer engraving services for Orrefors decanters?

Absolutely. Our sand-etching service can add monograms, names, dates, or custom messages to most crystal decanters. A custom crystal decanter is an ideal recognition piece for corporate awards, retirement celebrations, wedding parties, or any special occasion that calls for something truly personal.

How do I care for my crystal decanter?

Many Orrefors decanters and carafes are dishwasher safe. Check individual product care instructions for mouth-blown glass pieces that should be washed by hand. If you have questions about a specific item, reach out to our customer service team.

Can an Orrefors decanter be used for spirits as well as wine?

Absolutely. While decanters are most commonly associated with wine, several Orrefors styles are purpose-built for spirits. The Street and City decanters feature cork stoppers that preserve the character of whiskey, bourbon, or brandy between pours, and pair naturally with matching tumblers for a complete bar setup. The Erik 3 Piece Set takes the guesswork out of gifting, pairing a classic crystal decanter with two double old-fashioned glasses in one ready-to-gift box.
