- No lead, that's good. Pour could be better.
- I bought this decanter mainly because it was lead-free crystal. I am uncomfortable storing wine in lead crystal because the lead can leach into the wine. The vacuum was a bonus, though after a few hours the vacuum is lost. It drips a little on the pour, resulting in a wine ring gathering on any surface it sits on. I'm guessing there are better lead-free crystal decanters out there.

- Successful Wine Preserver
- The Metrokane V1 successfully creates a vacuum to preserve an unfinished bottle of wine. However, it is moderately difficult to open the decanter after releasing the pressure, and it must be watched from day to day to be sure that an adequate vacuum is maintained.

- lack of instructions
- I found it very awkward trying to stabilize the pump with one hand, and pull the pump up and down to get the air out.
Also I can not get the top out of the decanter. It seems stuck there.
As a result, I can not say if it does what you claim. - 2007-02-01, 23 of 29 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Works well!
- I bought this decanter as a present for my father and he has definitely been getting a lot of use out of it. It is easy to use and works well at keeping the wine preserved. I definitely recommend it. I just wish it were a little cheaper since the design is not so special.
