Are decanters and carafes the same?
1 Answer
No, decanters and carafes are not the same although they can both hold wine and spirits. A carafe is typically used for serving, while decanters have a lid and are suitable for both storing and serving. Shop a variety of decanters and carafes on 1stDibs.
