In this case, we see a crystal decanters for wine, and instead of glasses next to the decanter – the glasses, or glasses. Stacks are wood or crystal, and in particularly important cases, with a carafe and you can see the silver glasses. In this case, you get not only taste but also aesthetic pleasure.
