Wine lovers are among the pickiest people with the wine they love, the glasses they use, or the decanters they store their wine in. That includes bourbon-barrel aged wine, which has become increasingly popular as the Bourbon Boom has expanded. If you have someone who loves wine and wants to gift them for their birthday or any other occasion, here are some of the best gifts to get them.

Wine gift baskets

If you can’t decide what to get, wine gift baskets are a good choice but ensure you get one with their favorite wine. You can choose what goes into the basket or one that is already pre-packed from reputable brands like Hickory Farms.

Some baskets contain chocolates, sausages, candy, pretzels, sausages, fruits, almonds, cookies, or biscuits. Others might also have several bottles of red or white wine or both.

Customized wine glasses and decanters

Instead of buying traditional plain wine glasses and decanters, buy custom ones with some of their favorite drunk quotes.

Wine tumbler

Surprise your friend or loved one with the unconventional wine tumbler. They are short, light, and less expensive than traditional glasses, adding a new drinking experience for whoever you are gifting.

Wine glass covers

With the warmer months coming up, everyone will want to hang around the pool with a glass of wine. These covers will help keep the bugs and dust off the wine, and people don’t have to hold their drinks.

Coolers

These can be useful to keep the wine chilled during the summer months when having outdoor meals or keeping it cool on the table while having dinner. For example, you can get a wood marble wine cooler indoors or a cooler sleeve if the person you are gifting likes traveling or camping.

Wine bag

While this looks funny and traditional, wine bags are a great way to carry wine around without worrying about breaking the bottle. It makes a perfect gift if the person you are gifting loves antique and old-fashioned things.

 

Choose a color combination that suits them or write a personal message on them like their name, a sweet note, or their favorite quote to make it more personal.

 

Wine bucket

Wine coolers are good to keep one bottle cool, but wine buckets are the best options for a gathering. According to experts, ice water is the safest way to cool your wine and keep it chill. It is also faster than the fridge. When choosing, consider the material of the bucket and its size.

Wine stopper

Wine does not remain as fresh a few days after opening it. Its smell, taste, and consistency change, making drinking less fun. However, putting on a wine stopper before refrigerating it will keep its fresh aroma and flavor.

You can get a vacuum stopper that eliminates oxygen in the glass or a non-vacuum stopper with an airtight seal that prevents any oxygen from getting into the bottle.

Corkscrews

These make the wine opening process faster and easier. Get your friend or loved one a unique corkscrew to add to their collection if they already have one.

Wine glass caddy

This is a perfect gift for when the person you are gifting is having dinner with their partner. It helps hold the wine bottle and glasses in place with no risk of falling or breaking.

When buying these gifts, ensure that you look for something your friend or family member does not already have and have wanted for a long time, something they love, or something they can use for a long time. Also, ensure you buy them from reputable sellers for the best quality.
