1. A decanter, comprising:
a reservoir portion configured to hold a predetermined amount of a liquid; and
a neck portion located above the reservoir portion, the neck portion having an opening configured to allow the liquid to enter and exit the reservoir portion, a fluted spout located at the neck portion and extending downward into at least a portion of the reservoir portion;
wherein the reservoir portion is of a generally rectangular shape having opposing front and rear sides and opposing left and right sides, the reservoir portion having a substantially flat bottom;
wherein the reservoir portion includes a plurality of protrusions located on an inner surface of the reservoir portion at one of the front and rear sides of the reservoir portion or the left and right sides of the reservoir portion;
wherein each one of the protrusions spans an entire length of one of the front and rear sides of the reservoir portion or the left and right sides of the reservoir portion;
wherein each one of the protrusions has an outer shape and wherein each of the protrusions protrudes into the reservoir portion by a predetermined amount thereby aerating the liquid as it passes by each of the protrusions; and
wherein all of the protrusions are located above the flat bottom of the reservoir such that none of the protrusions are located on the flat bottom of the reservoir, whereby locating none of the protrusions on the flat bottom of the reservoir allows the liquid to pool on the flat bottom of the reservoir.
