French sculptor Etienne Meneau has designed a wine decanter like no other, resembling blood-filled veins when filled with a tasty red. Both Decanter N°2 and N°4 (a bit "branchier" than N°2) are made of borosilicate glass in limited editions, and with a price of €2000 each, you might opt for a wine of the box kind. Cranberry juice or Kool-Aid could work too.

Beautiful, but isn't the point of decanting to open the wine up to the air?
It looks like this decanter is made to aerate wine while filling the decanter instead of the traditional evaporation method. I like the regular versions better. Doesn't look like you can swirl this one real well. I suppose you only need to stick your egg beater down in there if you're Kermit Lynch.
easy to clean, I guess
Beautiful, but I would manage to break that in 20 minutes tops.
Yeah, I thought decanters were intended to give the wine a large surface area to breathe from. This does nothing more than aerate the wine as its being poured. And Phillipe is right..how the heck do you clean it?! One time use I guess. Another example of cool, but useless and poorly thought out, design.
