Where Is The Decanter Spiritus?
| I accidentally picked up the decanter spiritus and now want to drop it without having to complete the quest. Is there any way to either cancel the quest or just drop the item? | Posted by TheM1337 on Jul 3, 2014, 5:10:48 PM Quote this Post |
| Any reason you don’t want to complete the quest? You might be able to drop It on the ground outside of town. Not sure about that though. You can just give it to Fairgraves though so you don’t have to carry it around.

Then go back to him with the plum and finish the quest. Just clarifying. Last edited by Skywalkerfx on Jul 3, 2014, 5:27:05 PM | Posted by Skywalkerfx on Jul 3, 2014, 5:26:32 PM Quote this Post |
| I just picked up the Decanter Spiritus and it added the quest A Swig of Hope to my quests, but there is no map indicator telling me where to go. Where is the Ship Graveyard? Is this quest bugged? | Posted by Lenox2288 on Aug 11, 2014, 2:43:32 AM Quote this Post |

Is this quest bugged? You have to go to the Docks and give it to Fairgraves. It’s 2 levels away.

There are no zone/area on my map labeled “The Docks. ” Also, what do you mean by “2 levels away?” I’m level 34., do you mean that by level 36 it pops up? Or do you mean two zones away? | Posted by Lenox2288 on Aug 11, 2014, 4:24:58 AM Quote this Post |
| Decanter drops in The Marketpace. Fairgraves is in The Docks, which connects to The Battlefront, a zone adjacent to The Marketplace. Leave it in your inventory and just progress forward and all will be well. | Posted by Nemmerle on Aug 11, 2014, 4:31:58 AM Quote this Post |

Where can I find the decanter Spiritus?
“The muck of man’s bodily existence causes him to be oblivious to the truth. We can only have any hope of tasting the entire body of life if we first change the material into the spiritual.” – Malachai, Who Is Without a Soul Area level: 1 The Commercial District Classification of items: Quest Items Metadata ID: Metadata/Items/QuestItems/Fairgraves/Decanter It is possible to complete this quest by opening the Ornate Chest in the Market Place and retrieving the Decanter Spiritus.
What is a decanter?
A decanter is a receptacle that is used to retain the decantation of a liquid (like wine) that may contain sediment. This process is also known as “decanting.” Glass or crystal have traditionally been used in the production of decanters, which can take on a variety of shapes and designs.
Why do we decant wine?
Aeration One of the primary purposes of decanting wine is to aerate it, sometimes known as to give it the opportunity to “breathe.” The purpose of the decanter is to imitate the effects of whirling a wine glass, which stimulates the oxidation processes and causes the release of more aromatic compounds.
- This is accomplished by the decanter.
- In addition to this, it is believed that it improves the wine by taming some of the more severe characteristics of the wine (like tannins or potential wine faults like mercaptans ).
- Many wine writers, such as the author Karen MacNeil in the book The Wine Bible, advocate decanting for the purposes of aeration.
This is especially the case with very tannic wines, such as Barolo, Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon, Port, and Rhône wines. However, decanting could be harmful for more delicate wines, such as Chianti and Pinot noir. However, the efficiency of decanting is a topic of debate, with some wine experts such as oenologist Émile Peynaud claiming that the prolonged exposure to oxygen actually diffuses and dissipates more aroma compounds than it stimulates.
This is in contrast to the effects that the smaller scale exposure and immediate release that swirling the wine in a drinker’s glass has. In addition to this, it has been noted that the method of decanting over the course of a few hours does not have the effect of reducing the harshness of the tannins.
In the process of making wine and aging it in oak, tannins undergo a process of polymerization that can last for days or weeks; decanting merely alters the perception of sulfites and other chemical compounds in the wine through oxidation, which can give some drinkers the sense that the wine has tannins that are softer than they actually are.
In accordance with the theory that decanting can cause the aromas of a wine to be lost, wine expert Kerin O’Keefe prefers to let the wine develop slowly and naturally in the bottle. To do this, she uncorks the bottle a few hours before serving it, which is a technique that has been recommended by winemakers such as Bartolo Mascarello and Franco Biondi Santi.
Other wine experts, such as the writer Jancis Robinson, extol the aesthetic value of using a decanter, particularly one that has an elegant design and is made with clear glass. They also believe that decanting the wine does not cause the wine significant harm, with the exception of the most delicate wines.
Why are some whiskies sold in decanters?
Decanters have always played an important part in the traditional pouring of wine over the course of its long and illustrious history. The amphoras would be used to fill the containers with wine, and then the vessels would be carried to the table, where a single servant would have an easier time managing them.
Glass as a building material was first developed and utilized by the ancient Romans. As a result of the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, there was a significant decrease in the manufacturing of glass, therefore the vast majority of decanters were crafted out of bronze, silver, gold, or earthenware.
During the Renaissance time period, the Venetians reintroduced glass decanters and pioneered the form of a long, slender neck that opens to a wide body. This increased the surface area of the wine that was exposed to air, which allowed the wine to react with the air.
In order to reduce the amount of time that the glass was exposed to air, British glassmakers developed the stopper in the 1730s. Since that time, there hasn’t been much of a shift in the fundamental design of the decanter at all. Despite the fact that they were designed for wine, stoppered decanters are frequently used for storing and serving various types of alcoholic beverages, such as single-malt Scotch whisky and cognac.
There are several cognacs and malt whiskies that are marketed in decanters. Examples of these are the Bowmore Distillery 22 Year Old and the Dalmore 50 Year Old Single Malt.
