         5 . The rotating decanter of  claim 4 , wherein said rotation mechanism includes an electric motor and battery compartment for holding at least one battery for powering said electric motor. 
     
     
         6 . The rotating decanter of  claim 1 , wherein said base is in a shape chosen from the group consisting of rectangular, circular, square, oval, star, and heart. 
     
     
         7 . The rotating decanter of  claim 1 , wherein said base includes an activation switch for starting and stopping rotation of said rotating decanter stand. 
     
     
         8 . The rotating decanter of  claim 1 , wherein said base includes an on/off indicator light. 
     
     
         9 . The rotating decanter of  claim 1 , wherein said decanter is a shape chosen from the group consisting of a sphere, bottle, rectangle, and abstract. 
     
     
         10 . The rotating decanter of  claim 1 , wherein said decanter includes an etched map design and is made of glass. 
     
     
         11 . The rotating decanter of  claim 1 , wherein said decanter includes a removable seal. 
     
     
         12 . The rotating decanter of  claim 1 , wherein said decanter includes a fill line. 
     
     
         13 . The rotating decanter of  claim 1 , wherein said rotating decanter stand is operatively attached to said base at a middle portion of said base. 
     
     
         14 . The rotating decanter of  claim 1 , wherein said rotating decanter stand is a platform upon which said decanter rests. 
     
     
         15 . The rotating decanter of  claim 1 , wherein said decanter includes a protrusion at a distal end. 
     
     
         16 . The rotating decanter of  claim 15 , wherein said rotating decanter stand is an arc shape including a first end for holding a proximal end of said decanter and a second end for holding said distal end of said decanter. 
     
     
         17 . The rotating decanter of  claim 15 , wherein said first end includes a u-shaped rest for receiving said proximal end and wherein said second end includes a circle-shaped rest through which said protrusion rests securely. 
     
     
         18 . The rotating decanter of  claim 1 , wherein said base includes at least one glass rest of a recession in said base. 
     
     
         19 . The rotating decanter of  claim 1 , wherein said base includes a plurality of pads made of a material chosen from the group consisting of felt, rubber, and foam. 
     
     
         20 . A method of using a rotating decanter, including the steps of:
 opening a decanter;   filling the decanter with a liquid;   closing the decanter;   placing the decanter on a rotating decanter stand operatively attached to a base; and   activating rotation of the rotating decanter stand.   
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the liquid is whiskey. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein said filling step is further defined as filling the liquid up to a marked line on the decanter. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein said closing step further includes maintaining airtightness of the decanter. 
     
     
         24 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein said activating step is further defined as activating an activation switch on the base. 
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 20 , further including the step of a user activating the activation switch to stop rotation and removing the decanter to dispense the liquid into a glass. 
     
     
         26 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the decanter includes an etched map design, is in the shape of a globe, and is made of glass. 
     
     
         27 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the rotating decanter stand is an arc shape including a first end for holding a proximal end of the decanter and a second end for holding a distal end of the decanter. 
     
     
         28 . The method of  claim 27 , wherein the first end includes a u-shaped rest for receiving the proximal end and wherein the second end includes a circle-shaped rest through which a protrusion on the distal end rests securely.
