This is a great idea for a simple wine storage solution but I don't think they could have found a lower quality product if they tried. The bottles are crooked, the stoppers don't fit, and the glass has seams/bubbles in it. Grossly overpriced for this quality. Wine Enthusiast and China should both be ashamed of this.

Concept is good, but execution is poor. The glass stoppers do not seal the decanters, so the wine is exposed to the air.

I was hoping that it would be of nice quality, something that I could leave out on the counter. However, it seemed sort of cheap "made in China" kind of feel & look.

We use this product all the time (I'm buying another for our vacation home) -- it is great for keeping an extra glass or half bottle for the next night. I don't recommend it for peroids longer than 24 hours, as the wine goes bad. It works best when filling it immediately after opening bottle to minimize air exposure. Be sure to fill full enough that all the air is out of the bottle.

[...] The stoppers are not even close to airtight (which is the whole point of the product) and the glass looks terrible. Plus, Wine Enthusiast needs to revise the hard copy catalogue which describes the set as crystal.

Looks like something from the cheap dollar stores. Heavy, clunky and badly finished.
from Chicago on 1/19/2008
Te quality of the two decanters is comparable to what you might purchase at a dollar stor.

Sometimes just one glass of wine is all you want, but what to do with the rest it not drank right away? We often just have one glass with dinner, so this is perfect way to save the 'leftovers', and is a romantic way of serving it later. Would be perfect serving size for dining at restaurant sometimes as well.

maybe ading descriptive sizes, may help
from Tacoma, WA on 11/23/2007
It works great to save that glass or two of a good bottle of wine. Be careful, it's easy to over fill.

I ordered these to give out as gifts at an important event. I was so disappointed with the quality of this set that I had to go out at the last minute to find new gifts. The glass was full of flaws (bubbles, streaks, chips), the stoppers were loose, the bottles wobbled when you stood them up, [...] This product is certainly not worth [$]

The product design and quality control need to be improved to make the Wine for Later Decanter Set a great product.

I bought a set of these several years ago when wine enthusiast first started offering them. The original set I have is great. Since then, I bought two additional sets and returned them both. The new ones are made in China. The quality is so poor that the necks of the bottles/glasses are not straight and the lids do not fit. You would do better to buy an inexpensive oil & vinegar set at your local grocery store to store your wine than buy this product.
from Detroit, MI on 11/8/2007
Easy and quick way to store the glass or three left in the bottle. No fumbling with preservatives, pumps, etc. Just pour and cap. Keeps wine fresh for 24 - 48 hours.
from St. Louis on 10/31/2007
The stoppers do not fit well at all. They don't provide a good seal. The glass bottles are not good quality--ripples and seams very evident.
from Ann Arbor, MI on 10/19/2007
The quality of the decanter set was not good. The larger decanter wobbled and didn't seal well. I returned the product [...].
