Frequently asked questions about personalized decanters
What should you engrave on a personalized decanter?
The best engraving for a personalized decanter is a name, an initial or a last name with an established year, since those stay easy to read on glass. Add a message on the back for something more personal: the Bourbon Baron Personalized Decanter fits up to 100 characters, and the Scripted Sentiments Custom Decanter fits up to 30 words.
Is a personalized decanter dishwasher safe?
Many personalized glass decanters are dishwasher safe, including the Essential Personalized Decanter Set and the Modern Personalized Decanter. Hand wash any sand-carved crystal, like the Personalized Family Tree Crystal Decanter, to protect the deep carving and keep the crystal clear.
What is the difference between a whiskey decanter and a wine decanter?
A whiskey decanter has a tight stopper and is made to store and display spirits, while a wine decanter has a wide bowl that lets wine breathe before you serve it. Wine is decanted to aerate a young wine or to separate an older one from its sediment, as Wine Spectator explains. The Etched Red Wine Decanter is built for that.
How much should you spend on a personalized decanter gift?
Most people spend $50 to $90 on a personalized decanter gift, and that buys a full set with glasses like the Personalized Whiskey Decanter Box Set. Groomsmen and office gifts can start at $19.99, and heirloom crystal like the Personalized Waterford Crystal Decanter runs about $494.
What is a good decanter gift for a golfer?
A good decanter gift for a golfer puts the game in the glass. The Fairway Reserve Custom Golf Ball Decanter has a real Titleist golf ball fused into it, and the Personalized Golf Club Decanter Set is shaped like a golf club with four engraved glasses. Both get noticed on any bar cart.
How long does it take to get a personalized decanter?
A personalized decanter is engraved after you order, so allow more time than you would for something off a shelf. Each product page shows its own ready-to-ship estimate, and deeply sand-carved crystal is made to order by hand, so give those extra time. For Christmas gifts, order by the first week of December.
