Menu Wine Decanter by SummerSeventySix
Further to Leti's post, whether it's from box or bottle (as I prefer) red wine invariably tastes better if it's decanted, thanks to the oxygenation that occurs. One of the most attractive decanters I've come across is this one in glass and steel, designed for Danish company Menu by Louise Christ Frederiksen. Besides looking good, the broad base significantly improves aeration.
Menu also has a load of other sexy wine products on its site, if you're a bit of an oenophile. The decanter costs around £35.
