I ♥ Wine Decanters
Let scientists argue whether red wine is good for your heart. Those of us on wine’s receiving end will argue instead whether a heart is good for our wine.
Designer Paulo C has created a double decanter in the shape of an anatomically correct human heart.
The heart is a reminder for the generally underestimated but essential role health plays in our lives…The organic heart shape has been developed into two different, stand-alone objects according to the natural division of ventricles.
If that is perhaps a little too literal for your tastes, there are more symbolic heart decanters here, here and here.

Um, ewe.

I already have a heart. I’ll take one in the shape of a liver. That way I won’t have to say “I’d rather be a liver than have one.”
Pretty sure I saw a novelty decanter in the shape of a male, er… grundle region. Imagine that one is tough to pour from. Like getting the beer out of the tip of a boot, the last bit of wine from this, um… unique decanter must come in spurts.
Probably does out of the heart decanter as well (Apocalypto).

Grundle region. I like that. I’m going to add it my list.

I have a urethra-shaped decanter into which I put only plonk.

First, Curmudgeon, I find it disturbing that you have that kind of list.
Also, John, a grundle-shaped decanter doesn’t work with chilled wine. It shrinks aand the wine won’t fit.
Also, the shape of the decanter makes a vas diferens in the taste of the wine.

Groan…or is that groin
