Most ordinary wine decanters will work for Port. If you want to treat yourself, you can look for a broad base on a decanter that might be a bit better for Port, but you don't need to spend your money ... this is just a luxury and not a neccessity.

Right at this very moment, Spieglau Magnum Decanters are being offered for under $50 at Amazon.com. These are the perfect shape for decanting Port (esp. in Mag).
