Schott Zwiesel Decanters
From the angular Pure Decanter to the handmade, cooling-stone Symbiosis.
Check price on AmazonThe short answer
Zwiesel makes three distinct decanters: the angular Pure Decanter (25 oz) and classic Diva Decanter (1 liter), both machine-made Tritan crystal and dishwasher safe, plus the handmade Symbiosis with a cooling-stone base as the premium statement piece. Match the decanter to the glass line you already own, or pick Symbiosis if you want a standalone design object.
The three decanters
Pure Decanter (25 oz)
Angular design matching the Pure glass line — machine-made Tritan crystal, dishwasher safe.
Diva Decanter (1 liter)
Classic curved shape matching the Diva line — everyday elegant tier, dishwasher safe.
Symbiosis Decanter
Handmade, with a cooling-stone base — Zwiesel's premium statement decanter.
Why decanting works
Decanting exposes far more of a wine's surface area to oxygen than a bottle or glass ever could, speeding up the softening and opening-up a young, tannic wine would otherwise need years in the bottle to reach. Zwiesel's Pure and Diva decanters do this job at an accessible, dishwasher-safe price; Symbiosis does the same job with a more sculptural, design-forward shape and a cooling-stone base for temperature control.
The simplest way to choose: match the decanter to whichever glass line is already on your table, or pick Symbiosis specifically if you want a standalone centerpiece rather than a matched set.

Schott Zwiesel Decanters — FAQ
What decanters does Schott Zwiesel make?
Three main products: the angular Pure Decanter (25 oz) matching the Pure glass line, the classic 1-liter Diva Decanter matching the Diva line, and the handmade Symbiosis Decanter, a premium statement piece with a cooling-stone base.
Which Zwiesel decanter should I buy?
If you already own Pure or Diva glasses, buy the matching decanter for a cohesive set. If you want a standalone design piece rather than a matched set, Symbiosis is the more premium, handmade option.
Are Zwiesel decanters dishwasher safe?
The Tritan machine-made decanters (Pure, Diva) are dishwasher safe, consistent with the rest of Zwiesel's durability-first lines. The handmade Symbiosis should be treated more carefully, closer to hand-blown glassware.
How long should I decant wine in a Zwiesel decanter?
A young, tannic red typically benefits from 1–2 hours of air. An older red needs a much shorter, gentler decant — 20–30 minutes, mostly to separate it off sediment rather than aerate it hard.
