[edit] Editing for style

I've added back the sentence "Decanters have also been designed in various modernized shapes" and added in the picture. User:Wendy.heah 3:00, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I've removed the following sentences from the article:

Of late, wine funnels or decants which are used together with the decanter have improvised versions which when used, becomes an artistic process.

I don't actually understand this sentence. What does "improvised versions" mean in this context? In what way is the process artistic? This doesn't make a lot of sense. Unless we have a source that explains it in more detail, I don't think it belongs in the article.

Decanters have also been designed in various modernized shapes.

Undoubtedly this is true, but without examples, this is meaningless. The traditional shape is only described in the vaguest of terms, so how is one to even begin to guess what a modernized shape looks like?

I also changed "Most decanters [...] is made of glass" back to "[...] are made of glass" as this is a clear grammatical error, and I can't quite see why the last editor changed it that way to start with. JulesH 22:31, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't this "While only some red wines require decantation, all red wines, especially young ones, benefit from the oxygenation that occurs during the decanting process..." be "While only some white wines .... Coyote (a red wine enthusiast)

I think the implication is that some red wines require it while all benefit from it, rather than pointing out the difference between white and red Kylemahan 18:17, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Also, decanters are not specific only to wines but may be used for liquors as well. (confused editor) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.76.176.58 (talk) 23:11, August 29, 2007 (UTC)
