Decanter for €12

Post by jdaw1 »

Vente-Privee.com is one of these new-fangled members-only internet shops: gives an aura of exclusivity whilst persuading brand owners that cheap sales there don’t damage reputation. The above decanter (which, to be fair, I don’t like) is available for all of €12. Bulk orders anybody? If so, send a PM to SCP-DFF who is a member of Vente-Privee.com.

Apparently the sale ends tomorrow, Tuesday 1st December, at 23:59. Hurry hurry hurry, while stocks last, etc.

It looks a bit small - are you sure it holds 75cL?

I'm also not greatly sold on the design, but a set of identical decanters that can be easily packed into flight cases would be useful at offlines..

I have posted everything that is there.

Let’s call it a ball of internal ‟Diamètre” ≈ 11 cm. Then 1000 * (0.11/2)^3 * Ï€ * 4/3 ≈ 0.6969L. If the ball is 11.27cm internal diameter, then it holds 750ml.

So it probably holds a full bottle.

They’ve arrived. External diameter ≠ 12cm; actually 10cm. So way too small. Being returned.
