Description from the seller

A very special lever-decanting machine to present wine in a very special and exclusive way to your guests.

This piece is a mechanical decanting cradle (also known as a wine cradle), a classic sommelier accessory usually made of brass and acrylic

What is it for?
Its main function is to assist in the service of old wines or Vintage Port wines, which have accumulated natural sediments over the years.

Sediment Control: The lever system allows tilting the bottle extremely slowly and steadily.
Stability: Prevents abrupt movements or vibrations that could mix the sediments with the liquid, ensuring that the wine reaches the glass or decanter clean.
Display: In addition to functionality, it is a traditional decorative piece in wine cellars and luxury restaurants.

How to use:
Positioning: Place the bottle on the stand, ensuring the label is facing up and the bottle starts in the most horizontal position possible.
Operation: Turn the lever smoothly to tilt the bottle progressively while pouring the wine into a decanter or glass.
Monitoring: Traditionally, a light (such as a candle) is used under the neck to detect the moment when the sediments begin to reach the lip, stopping the service at that moment

The bottle is not included and for display only
