Some years ago I had a stainless steel funnel (I think I lost it in a breakup with a former girlfriend 
) and just this past week I ordered a replacement. My primary use for the funnel is for getting wine from the decanter back into the bottle, something I tend to do when I have friends and family over for wine and we’re going through a few bottles. While I’ve gotten pretty good at accomplishing this task without a funnel, I decided it was time to spoil myself . . . .

I use a hybrid method where I stand the bottle for a period ( 4 hours to 3 days) and decant using a flashlight. I stop the decant when the sediment approaches the bottle neck and slide the decanter away and move a stemless wine glass in place. I then use a stainless funnel with a removable 200 fine mesh nylon filter (purchased on Amazon) to pour the remainder through into the glass for a preliminary taste. The filter does an excellent job of removing even the very fine sediment and can be rinsed and reused.
