Juice carafe Stalgast 400174

A wine carafe holds liquid for serving without the bottle, letting the wine breathe or water flow smoothly from a wide rim. The shape controls the pour, directing the stream so it does not splash or drip, while the open top exposes the surface to air, softening tannins in red wine and releasing aromas. This method suits wines that benefit from aeration before drinking, and it also gives water a steady, controlled flow for table service.

To use the carafe, fill it from the bottle or tap, tilting the rim to meet the source so the liquid slides down the inner wall without turbulence. Place the carafe on the table and pour from the rim, using the angled spout to guide the stream into the glass. The wide base keeps the carafe stable while the narrow neck concentrates the aroma as the wine is poured.

The carafe is made of clear glass, blown in the Bordeaux style that tapers from a broad base to a narrower neck. The rim is finished smooth to prevent drips, and the base is flat for stability on a worktop or tray.

The 250 ml capacity sets the portion size for a single serving, making it practical for individual glasses or small groups. The dimensions—60 mm at the base, 67 mm at the widest point and 176 mm tall—fit within standard cupboard shelves and tray spaces, allowing organised storage between services.

Cleaning follows from the glass construction: wash by hand or in a glasswasher, using mild detergent to avoid clouding the surface. The smooth finish and lack of crevices let water drain without residue, so the carafe dries ready for the next use.

The carafe is listed in the glassware section of the catering catalogue, under serving accessories for wine and water.
