The Jory is a new type of decanter that uses a siphon to delicately extract wine from the bottle while leaving sediment, cork bits, tartrates and other solids behind. 

Something different.

As a wine ages, sediment begins to accumulate in the bottle as tannins, color pigments, and other organic compounds fall out of solution. This sediment can diminish the experience of drinking a wine by altering its taste, smell, texture, and appearance.

Built for a lifetime

In some cases, aged wines are decanted “off of the sediment” by pouring the wine into a decanter over a light source, like a candle, while being careful to leave as much sediment behind in the bottle as possible. While this method can work decently well when performed by a professional like a sommelier in a restaurant, it has several shortcomings:

Designed in Oregon

  • It still requires pouring the wine through the neck of the bottle which can be covered in gunk and cork bits.
  • Tipping the bottle to pour disturbs the sediment and allows it to mix back into solution.
  • The pouring agitates and aerates the wine which may not be desirable for older, more delicate wines that do not benefit from additional exposure to oxygen.
  • It requires a high degree of precision, skill, constant attention, and even luck.

This is the same wine.

Behold: two 1 oz pours of wine from the same bottle, a 2006 Patricia Green Pinot Noir from Oregon's Willamette Valley. The Jory was used to decant the wine shown on the left and the sediment remaining in the bottle is shown on the right.

What is the Jory?

The Jory is a $129 siphon decanter, designed in Oregon, that gently draws wine out of an aged bottle and leaves the sediment, cork bits and tartrates behind. The bottle never tips, the wine never pours through the neck, and no filter is needed. It works with any still wine, red or white.

How it works

  1. Let the sediment settle. Stand the bottle upright before opening, an hour or longer if you can, overnight if you are exceptionally proactive. Then open it as usual.
  2. Set the straw. Slide the silicone stopper along the stainless steel straw so the tip sits just above the sediment, then fit the stopper into the neck.
  3. Raise the bottle and start the siphon. Set the bottle higher than your decanter and give a puff of air with the aluminum pump.
  4. Let it run. The wine flows hands-free into the decanter, about three minutes for a 750 ml bottle ("in about 3 mins," as Jason Wehling, @decanterberrytales, put it), and the sediment stays in the bottle.

Why use a siphon instead of pouring?

Pouring an old wine off its sediment works, with a candle, a steady hand and some luck; a siphon removes the luck. Three reasons to decant with the Jory:

  1. You never tip the bottle. Pouring disturbs the sediment layer at the bottom, especially toward the end of the pour. With the Jory, the bottle stays upright and the sediment stays put.
  2. It bypasses the neck. The neck of an old bottle is often covered in sediment, cork bits and gunk. The wine never passes through it.
  3. Less oxygen. The Jory doesn't oxygenate the wine like pouring does, allowing fragile old wines to show better for longer.

Which wines is the Jory for?

The Jory is for aged wines that have thrown sediment, the bottles where the decant matters most. As a wine ages, tannins, color pigments and other compounds fall out of solution and settle in the bottle. Typical candidates:

A gift for wine lovers who open older bottles

The Jory is one of the few wine gifts a serious collector doesn't already own, and one they will use every time they open an old bottle. Most collectors have a corkscrew, a decanter and plenty of glasses. Fewer have a good answer for the last inch of a 30-year-old bottle.

Who it's for

  • Collectors who cellar wine and open mature Bordeaux, Barolo, Burgundy, Vintage Port or older Oregon Pinot Noir.
  • People who already own a Durand or an Ah-So for old corks. The Durand gets the cork out; the Jory leaves the sediment behind.
  • Anyone who hosts old-bottle dinners and would rather not decant over a candle.

If the person mostly drinks young wine or Champagne, a different gift will suit them better.

Why it works as a gift

  • Made to last. Stainless steel, aluminum, copper and medical-grade silicone, with no moving parts.
  • Compact. Rolled up in its natural cotton bag, the kit is 18" x 2.5", small enough to bring along to a dinner.
  • Easy to send. Free worldwide shipping, duties and taxes included, so nothing is due on delivery, even when you ship straight to someone abroad.
  • Low risk. If it isn't right, it can be returned within 30 days for a full refund, and we pay the return shipping.

What collectors say

Collectors and wine professionals have posted about the Jory on Instagram. A few of their words, quoted exactly:

"If you enjoy opening mature wines, @jorywinekit is one of those tools that's worth having. Old wines naturally develop sediment over time, and the Jory makes it super easy to separate the clear wine from the sediment with minimal disturbance."

— @julie_nomadic_sommelier, July 31, 2026, on a 1953 Château Durfort-Vivens (Margaux). View post

"I used @thedurandcorkscrew to open it, and the @jorywinekit to decant it (siphon method). Both worked brilliantly."

— @tx_wine_pilot, June 9, 2026, on a 1963 Graham's Vintage Port. View post

"The @jorywinekit may look like a science experiment but you're removing the elements (sediment) that get in the way of it showing wine at its best self. For older vintages, it's a no brainer."

— @gotsomme, February 13, 2026. View post

"Is it absolutely necessary to have? Probably not. Will I keep using it, absolutely."

— @wine.to.drink, May 11, 2026, on a Clos Rougeard. View post

"It simply decants the wine while leaving all the sediment in the bottle…perfect for older wines. I highly recommend adding this to your collection of wine tools."

— @westcoastwineguy, September 14, 2025, on a 2000 Thomas Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. View post

"Fun night with the Jory Wine Kit. Flawlessly extracts wine from the bottle with no sediment."

— @courtierwines, April 12, 2026. View post

Some collectors received a Jory from us to try. Everything quoted is from their own public posts, unedited and unpaid.

More reviews, including a 1955 Bordeaux and a decades-old Lynch-Bages, are on the product page.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Jory a good gift for a wine lover?

Yes, if the wine lover opens older bottles. The Jory is made for aged wines that throw sediment, such as mature Bordeaux, Barolo, Burgundy, Vintage Port and older Oregon Pinot Noir. It is one of the few wine tools a serious collector is unlikely to own already, it ships free worldwide with duties and taxes included, and it can be returned within 30 days for a full refund. If the person mostly drinks young or sparkling wine, a different gift will suit them better.

How is the Jory different from a decanter, a filter or a funnel?

A decanter is the vessel the wine goes into; the Jory is the tool that gets the wine out of the bottle and leaves the sediment behind. You still decant into your own decanter, glass or a clean bottle. Unlike pouring through a filter, funnel screen or cheesecloth, the Jory needs no filter: the bottle stays upright, the sediment stays at the bottom, and the wine never passes through the neck. The stainless steel funnel in the kit is for pouring the wine back into its cleaned bottle when you double decant.

Does the Jory work with bottles opened with a Durand or a Coravin?

Yes for a Durand, and yes for the Coravin Pivot, but not for needle-style Coravins. The Durand is the tool we recommend for opening old bottles with fragile corks; once the cork is out, the Jory decants the bottle as usual. The Jory is compatible with the Coravin Pivot, which works on an opened bottle: decant the wine off its sediment, return it to the rinsed bottle, and seal it with the Pivot for up to 4 weeks. Coravin models that pierce the cork with a needle do not work with the Jory, because the bottle must be fully opened to remove the sediment.

How long does it take to decant a bottle with the Jory?

About three minutes for a standard 750 ml bottle once the siphon is started. After that it runs hands-free, so you can set the table or open the next bottle while it works. For the cleanest result, stand the bottle upright beforehand so the sediment settles: an hour or longer is usually needed, and overnight is best.

Does the Jory aerate the wine?

No. The Jory does not aerate or oxygenate the wine during normal use, which is one of its main benefits for older, more delicate wines. If a wine needs air, you can still pour it into a wide decanter afterward.

How do I clean the Jory?

Rinse it with water before and after every use. For a deep clean, use the included cleaning brush with soap and warm water.

Where does the Jory ship, and do I pay duties?

Shipping is free worldwide, and duties and taxes are included in the price, so nothing is due on delivery. Orders typically arrive 2 to 5 days after they ship, in the US and internationally.

Can I return the Jory?

Yes. Try it on a bottle. If it's not the cleanest decant you've had, return it within 30 days for a full refund. We pay the return shipping.

Does the Jory work with white wine, magnums or sparkling wine?

It works with any still wine, red or white, and it was designed with magnum (1.5 L) bottles in mind. It does not work with sparkling wines like Champagne.

The Jory was designed in Oregon by Lucas, its founder, out of his own frustration with the traditional decanting process. Questions? Read the full FAQ or get in touch.
