Bar-ware Question

Derrick got an almost perfect score.

Crystal bottles are for show. Brand privacy could be a motivator but that varies by the individual.

Decanting wine is not for filtering. It is for aeration or oxygenation - hence the term letting a wine breathe. The process allows the wine to open up and display its full character and body. Spirits do not change with decanting/aeration.

I don't mean to be pedantic, just for my own knowledge, is there a difference between Aeration and oxygenation?
