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) 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.
3) Glass Wine Saver Carafe
Designed to serve and preserve a bottle of wine. Keeps wine fresh for up to one week.
4) Anatomy Coaster Set, Bar
Pick a libation and learn a little something. This drink coaster set highlights fun facts and interesting info about whiskey, wine, and beer, and celebrates each one with charming illustrations. Cheers to that.
5) Plastic Wine Saver Carafe
A easy-to-use, durable, and beautiful wine preserving carafe made of sturdy Tritan Copolyester features a locking lid, making it perfect for enjoying fresh wine in the backyard, at the pool, on a boat, or wherever life takes you.
