What is a liquor decanter?

Storing and serving alcohol in glass bottles has become a norm recently. Rather than using traditional glass containers for liquor, a liquor decanter can be used as an alternative, as it's more eye-catching and adds elegance to any home, office, or bar. These fancy glass liquor bottles are made from crystal or glass and made in an ornamental fashion to look sleek, modern, or vintage on any countertop.

The decanters can be used as both wine and as whiskey decanters. As the drink pours into the decanter, it oxidizes and aerates the beverage, opening up the sweet aromas and flavors that come with wine or whisky. Ideally, the vessel is a sophisticated whisky holder as the whisky does not decant due to its already stable state. In contrast, the wine should not stay in the decanter for long. Too much aeration can alter its taste or aroma.

What are the different glass liquor bottle sizes?

Knowing the sizes of glass alcohol bottles makes ordering, planning for parties, and taking a bar inventory easy. Glass liquor bottles come in varying sizes. A fifth is the standard 750ml glass liquor bottle, measured as one-fifth of a gallon. The handle is larger than the 750ml. It holds 1.75 liters. Initially, large glass bottles for whiskey handles came with protruding handles for easy carrying. But recently, the glass bottles are as round and regular as their other counterparts. The handle can fill 40- 1.5 glass shot bottles. Different mini-glass liquor bottle sizes are 50ml and 375ml. Moreover, some manufacturers make 100 and 200-ml liquor bottles.

What ideas can you do with empty liquor bottles?

You can repurpose empty bottles for liquor. Paint the bottle outside, add flowers on the top and use them as flower vases—a decorative method used in restaurants. You can also use liquor bottles as soap dispensers. Buy a glass liquor bottle with a cork and drill a hole at the top for easy dispensing. Colored liquor bottles are ideal lighting options for parties or backyards. Amber and blue glass liquor bottles can stand out as decorative twinkle lights or tiki torches.
