Ibis Magnum is a decanting carafe in 1.5-litre format, designed for magnum bottles of mature red wine and white wine. The long, straight neck with its gently rounded base minimises air exchange, preserving the wine's bouquet and the delicate aromas that would otherwise change rapidly on contact with air. The carafe is used to decant the wine away from any sediment and to show off the wine's colour against the light.
Works just as well for mature reds that need separating from their sediment as for white wines where aromatic richness should be preserved rather than opened up.
