Decanters???
We had plain brown bottles, 2 per table, also 2 clear bottles of water.
If they were emptied, the water was replenished from the tap, and the wine from an enormous barrel that was just inside the kitchen door.
On arrival I was advised to drink the wine 50/50 with the water, 'till I got used to it.
It took a week.
