Find it hard to shop for that special wine lover in your life? Aside from buying them another bottle of their favorite wine, you should invest in a gift that will cater towards their wine loving lifestyle. There are a lot of wine accessories out there so we’ve chosen some popular gift ideas along with descriptions on how they work

Wine Decanters
“Decanting” is the movement of wine from its original container to a fresh glass receptacle, leaving the sediment behind. Exposing your wine to air improves the bouquet which is ideal for older wines or ports. A wider neck decanter allows more air to flow through; therefore you should drink off that wine within that day. Thinner necked decanters are intended to keep wines overnight. Some decanters include funnels, which creates an easy way to remove the sediment. *Decanter prices vary according to brand, but can start as low as $35.

Wine Coolers
This is a great gift idea for the beginner wine collector. Coolers allow you to store your wines at the right temperature and avoid drastic temperature fluctuations that can damage your wine . These units come as small as 16 Bottles and conveniently fit on any countertop. Some coolers can be built in under your kitchen counter with bottle capacities ranging from 30-50 Bottles. Some popular brands are Danby, Marvel, Haier, and Franklin Chef. *Wine coolers normally start around $175 and up.

Wine Openers
The best of all wine openers…..The Estate Rogar removes your cork and re-corks your bottles all with a simple lever handle. You can clamp the rogars to the edge of a countertop or purchase it with the stand. The stand comes in maple, marble, granite, beechwood just about any style to match your décor.
*The Rogar Opener with Stand starts around $130.

Wine Rack
For those that have a few bottles lying around in the kitchen, a wine rack is the perfect gift. Most racks can come in metal, wood, and wrought iron and can hold as little as 2 bottles. Racks also add a nice touch to the home décor and can be wall or ceiling mounted, placed on countertops, or fill in a dead space in the house. * Metal and wood racks vary in price but can start as low as $12!

Wine Charms
For those that enjoy serving wine at their parties, what better way to say “That wine is mine” than with a special wine charm. Charms can come in a variety of themes…Golf, Animals, Wine & Cheese, Sea Creatures, Beautiful Stones, Birthdays, Holidays and so on. Wine Charms are simple rings that attach to the base of your wine glass. This avoids the famous saying “Who’s glass does this belong to?”
*Wine charms start around $15 for a set of 6.

Wine Books
For the serious wine connoisseur, giving him a gift that will educate his taste buds is a great way to go. There are lots of wine books on the market with subjects such as the history of wine, what to look for in a ‘good’ wine, and what type of foods pair up with certain wines. Wine Dossiers are ideal for those that enjoy tasting different wines and keeping a diary of it.
