Water & Wine Carafes

Water & wine carafes – Scandinavian design for special moments

A stylishly set table tells stories. From cosy everyday moments to festive occasions with family and friends. The right details make all the difference – like a carafe that not only serves water or wine but also emphasises your table culture.

Whether for the home office, a summer lunch in the garden, or a festive dinner with friends – a carafe adds that little extra to every moment.

At Kitchen Living Dining, you will find selected carafes that combine functionality and design with a Nordic-inspired lifestyle. Whether as a practical everyday helper or a stylish gift, a carafe brings calm, clarity and sensuality to your table.

More than just a vessel – why carafes make all the difference

A carafe is not just a container. It is a deliberately chosen element of your table design – a statement of style, taste and mindfulness. It helps you serve water attractively, decant wine properly or simply refine the atmosphere at the table.

A clear glass carafe with a delicate silhouette, a textured surface that catches the light, a wooden lid or cork stopper that rounds off the overall look – details like these create an atmosphere that makes you want to linger. And that is precisely what we strive for at Kitchen Living Dining: products that are not only beautiful but also make life more beautiful.

Water or wine? How to choose the right carafe

Our current range focuses on high-quality water carafes – versatile, functional and timelessly beautiful. The main difference between a water carafe and a wine carafe is its shape:

• Water carafes are often slim and elegant, sometimes with a practical lid – ideal for everyday use, the office or the refrigerator. 
• Wine carafes (also known as wine decanters) are more bulbous to give the wine room to breathe – perfect for red wine on special occasions. 

Our carafes are often suitable for both – and that's exactly what makes them so popular: a single solution for many occasions.

Practical tips for choosing your carafe 

• For the fridge and everyday use: Slim carafes with lids keep drinks cool and fresh. Ideal for families and singles. 
• For guests and special occasions: Textured carafes or models with handles add visual accents and enhance your table decoration. 
• Easy to clean & robust: Many carafes are dishwasher safe – hand washing is recommended for delicate models. 
• Materials: Glass, crystal glass or borosilicate – all of our materials are long-lasting and recyclable – a sustainable choice for reducing plastic and making your table more conscious.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about water and wine carafes

• How does a wine carafe aerate wine and why is this important?

The large surface area in a bulbous carafe allows the wine to come into contact with oxygen. This makes it smoother in taste and brings out the aromas better – a real advantage, especially with young red wines.

• Which water carafe is best for everyday use?

A narrow carafe with a lid that fits in the refrigerator door is ideal. It keeps the water fresh, looks stylish on the table and replaces plastic bottles with something beautiful and reusable.

• Are there differences between carafes for red and white wine?

Yes. Red wine benefits from carafes with a large opening for aeration. White wine and rosé, on the other hand, are best kept in slim carafes that maintain the temperature for longer.

• What is the best way to clean a carafe with a narrow neck?

It is best to rinse it with warm water immediately after use. For stubborn residues, bottle brushes or cleaning balls help – this keeps the glass clear and hygienic.

• Which material keeps drinks cool or warm the longest?

Double-walled or thick borosilicate glass insulates particularly well. Glass carafes with lids are also ideal for chilled drinks in summer or for infused water with herbs and citrus fruits.

• Do I really need a carafe with a lid?

A lid protects against dust and insects – especially when used outdoors or in the refrigerator. An open design is often sufficient for stylish use on the dining table.

• Can I also use a carafe for tea or hot drinks?

Some borosilicate glass carafes are heat-resistant and suitable for tea or hot juice. Please check the manufacturer's instructions before filling with hot liquids.

• Which carafe is suitable as a gift?

A carafe from Lyngby Glas, BITZ or Zone Denmark is a tasteful gift idea – whether for a housewarming, wedding or as a small token of appreciation. Practical, beautiful and versatile.

• How much volume should a carafe have?

1 to 1.2 litres is ideal for table use. This means you don't have to keep refilling it, and the carafe remains handy in terms of shape and weight.

• Are there carafe sets with matching glasses?

Yes – some of our series offer harmoniously coordinated sets. These are particularly suitable as gifts or for stylishly accessorising your kitchen.
