These guides are geared towards specific interests. You’ll be able to find something for even the toughest person on your Christmas shopping list.
Top 5 Wine Gifts
1) Slow Wine Pourer
A slow wine pourer is the best way to serve delicate and older wines. The Vacu Vin tool pours wine from the bottom of the bottle straight to the bottom of your glass slowly. This means there is minimal exposure to oxygen, which can zap freshness and affect taste. This slower method gives an aged bottle of cabernet sauvignon or Bordeaux the special treatment it deserves.
2) Hand Cut Monogram Stemless Wine Glass - Set of 4
The classic Monogram on these personalized wine glasses is timeless. Susquehanna Glass Company has been hand etching glass in the USA for over 100 years, and they will etch your chosen letters with the attention to detail they’re known for. Each letter is painstakingly hand cut by holding the glass against a rotating stone wheel. The result is a crisp finish that will last for years.
3) Stainless Steel Wine Chiller
Pop a chilled bottle into this stainless steel wine chiller—like rosé, champagne, or even sparkling water—to keep it at a perfectly cool temperature for hours. No trips to the fridge or cooler needed, thanks to double-walled, vacuum-insulated stainless steel that also eliminates drippy condensation. Makes a great wedding or shower gift. Cheers to that.
4) Chardonnay Go Adult Board Game
Ready, set, Chardonnay Go! This wine-fueled and themed board game is packed with hilarious questions and make-you-blush dares. Travel through the vineyard-inspired game board with the goal of reaching the tasting room. If you can make it without falling over with laughter (or spilling your wine), we salute you.
5) No-Spill Aerating Wine Glass
A spill-proof wine glass that looks as good as it is enjoyable to sip from. Each glass spins on a stainless steel ball, aerating wine—sip by sip—without spilling a drop. (It looks pretty cool, too.) Want to slow things down? Oak coasters hold a glass upright and still. Made in the USA.
