The carafe has been in use for a long time. People used to go to the market with their carafe and fill the carafe directly from the barrel. Nowadays this is not done anymore but people have a carafe at home. In this time they buy a bottle of whiskey at the liquor store and then donate it to a carafe. A carafe is more fun in the living room than a bottle.The biggest advantage of a spirit decanter is of course the looks it brings. Nowadays carafes are available in different shapes, sizes and materials. Often a carafe is a showpiece in the room and the pride of a man.
