Gifts for the Beginner Wino – This list for the person just started getting into wine and own very little to none in terms of wine stuff.
- Professional Waiter’s Corkscrew by HiCoup – Rosewood Handle All-in-one Corkscrew, Bottle Opener and Foil Cutter
– A double-hinged “waiters’s key” style corkscrew is by far out favorite opener.
- Luigi Bormioli Accademia Atelier Prestige 15.75 Ounce Riesling Wine Glass, Set of 2
– Ok these are expensive glasses but these are so worth it! We own a set of six but if price is a concern, get the set of two.
- Luigi Bormioli Atelier 21 Ounce Rioja Pinot Noir Wine Glass, Set of 2
– Again this brand is amazing and if you are just starting out in wine you don’t need a glass for each type of wine. A couple good red and white wine glasses is a great place to start.
- Corkcicle Classic Wine Chiller – You keep this in the freezer and place it in the bottle for a faster chill. Pour out a little of the wine first to prevent spills and DO NOT use in sparkling wine (trust me on this)
- Vacu Vin Rapid Ice Active Cooler Wine Bottle Chilling Sleeve, Standard – This cooling sleeve cools wine in about 20 minutes, so you don’t have to plan hours ahead before opening a bottle of white wine.
- The Original United Wine Saver Pump Preserver with 4 Vacuum Bottle Stoppers – Pumps like this help to remove some air (and therefore oxygen) from opened bottles, so your unfinished wine will last another day or two. Great to travel with as well.
- Wine Glass Charms Set of 8 Silicone Drink Markers – I’m not super into wine charms but these ones are simple and won’t break on you.
- Wine Glass Writer Markers Original Metallic | Washable Glass Wine Charms Alternative – Great for large parties for people to write their name on their glasses.
– Ok these are expensive glasses but these are so worth it! We own a set of six but if price is a concern, get the set of two.
– Again this brand is amazing and if you are just starting out in wine you don’t need a glass for each type of wine. A couple good red and white wine glasses is a great place to start.
Gifts for Experienced Wino – This list for the person who has been into wine for a while is has all the basic tools.
- Menu Winebreather Carafe
– Has a special pour spout which allows you to attach it to a wine bottle, flip the whole thing over (use both hands!) and while the wine empties into the carafe. It also makes for a beautiful serving piece.
- Wine Bag – The Wine Check (Bag Only) – The only wine luggage light and protective enough to check 12 bottles of any type and remain under the 50lb. weight limit. Can purchase with or without the shipper box. We own two.
- Wine Pourer with Built-in Filter – If you’ve ever had sediment in the bottom of your wine glass, you’re sure to appreciate this wine pourer with built-in filter as much as we do. It also provides a nice pour-edge to help reduce drips.
- ArT Wine Preserver – This is the most effective way we found to preserve an open bottle and wine. Using this product, open bottles of wine last about a week. Also, the packaging is fully recyclable in most US states so it’s great for the environment. If you want to save money you can purchase a four pack and save yourself $10.
- Coravin Model Two Premium Wine Preservation System
– Pour a glass of wine without removing the cork (only works on wines with natural corked wines). It’s expensive but if you are looking to try wine over a long period of time for aging purposes or just to savor it, this might be worth the investment.
