this wine decanter came with a nice sturdy box, suitable for wrapping for a gift for someone. Sleek and smooth crystal bottle body, embellished with with stainless steal aerator plus strainer. It passed the dishwasher test. I had no problem serving wine from this bottle, and it's spill proof. Very nice wine decanter, definitely will impress your guest, and elevate your wine tasting experience. Or a great gift to your wine snob friends.
