A Champagne Stopper
Champagne stoppers are excellent gifts for fans of sparkling wine. If you’ve uncorked your fair share of Sparkling Wine and Champagne bottles, you’ve probably noticed that it’s impossible to put the cork back in, as it expands as soon as it’s released from the bottle. So how do you keep your sparkling wine fresh? A Champagne stopper is a handy tool to maintain carbonation while you’re still enjoying the wine, either that same night or over the next two days. They come in various forms, including stainless steel and plastic with a rubber blocker, and range in price from $3 to $15. Champagne stoppers are great, practical gifts that don’t break the bank.
A Universal Wine Glass Set
Every wine lover needs a set of universal wine glasses that can be used interchangeably between wines, from the still and sparkling to reds and whites. There are massive disparities in price, ranging from $30 for a set of eight to $80 for a single glass. Hand-made glasses are pricier than machine-made glasses. When selecting a set, you want to choose a design that is lightweight and sturdy. Universal wine glasses are great gifts, especially for a housewarming present or anniversary.
A Wine Aroma Kit
Avid wine drinkers who love to pull out all the tasting notes when they’re enjoying a glass of wine would love a wine aroma kit. There are various wine aroma kits on the market that range in price from $150 to $500. Wine aroma kits come in various sizes, offering anywhere from 12 to over 100 aromas. The aromas of wine faults, fruits, and non-fruit characteristics are put into a little jar. You can play a fun game where you try to guess the aroma. It’s surprising how challenging it can be! It’s a fun gift, particularly if the person for which you’re buying is studying to become a sommelier.
A Wine Decanter
A wine decanter is a beautiful, sophisticated, and elegant gift. It’s also a very practical gift, particularly for tannic reds that need to breathe a little before they’re enjoyed, like cabs and pinot noirs. Decanters come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. For $25 to $60, you can find a classic and simple glass decanter. These vessels usually look a little like an hourglass with a wider bowl that pinches in toward the top. There are also some fun and wild shapes out there that can range from $40 to hundreds of dollars apiece. Examples of shapes these wacky decanters resemble include swans, snakes, and grape vines. It’s a great splurge gift!
Sparkling Wine Flutes
Wine flutes are great for wines like prosecco or any other tank method sparkling wine. These wines are generally fairly fruit-forward on the nose and easy drinking, so a small rim works well. Wine flutes are a great way to display the bubbles. They vary in price from $5 to $30 per piece, with the higher priced flutes typically being more well-made and lighter in weight. The range in pricing enables you to choose a set that best suits your budget. Find them at any home goods store or online.
A Beautiful Ice Bucket
For big fans of white wine, Champagne, and sparkling wine, a beautiful ice bucket is essential! It’s a practical gift and lovely décor. Ice buckets keep bottles cold, are easily accessible, and help make any occasion feel classier. They look great inside any home and are a beautiful way to display the bottle. There are many different types of ice buckets, including stainless steel, glass, ceramic, marble, and galvanized metal to name a few. Choose one that suits the taste of the person for which you’re buying. Ice buckets range in price from $20 to hundreds of dollars, and can be found at any department store or online.
A Wine Caddy
Know a woman who loves to entertain? A wine caddy is the perfect gift that is both stylish and functional; a must-have for the hostess with the mostess. This useful household staple usually comes with two different options: one-bottle and two-bottle, and each has extra holders to keep fragile wine glasses safe, and small ceramic dishes to serve up hors d’oeuvres. This gift will make a great centerpiece for any holiday party or family gathering and is very reasonably priced.

A Good Wine Key
Sommeliers use a simple wine key for the task of uncorking a bottle of wine. Wine keys are sleek, easy to use, and easy to store. They are the perfect tool for the task, but somehow manage to get lost fairly often! You can never have too many. Wine keys can cost anywhere from $2 to $20, depending on the quality. You can add a personal touch by ordering a custom wine key with their name, nickname, a date, or whatever you’d like to make it truly special and unique.
Microfiber Polishing Cloths
Wine fanatics always appreciate the importance of drinking from perfectly polished wine glasses. Microfiber cloths or towels are excellent for making sure glasses are smudge-free. They leave no lint behind on the glass, unlike paper towels or cotton-based napkins. They’re a practical gift that ranges in price from $10 to $35, depending on where you buy and quantity.
Wine Bottle Coaster
A great way to display wine as you’re enjoying it at the table is by placing it on a decorative wine bottle coaster. This is a lovely gift for someone who enjoys hosting dinner parties. Wine bottle coasters can be made of stainless steel, sterling silver, marble, crystal, and brass to name a few examples. They vary in price from $15 to hundreds of dollars, based on the material of choice. Wine bottle coasters are great gifts for wine lovers who regularly pop bottles at home.
A Coravin
If you have anywhere from $140 to $700 to spend, the Coravin is a wine lover’s dream. The Coravin is a device that you can place on top of the neck of a cork-enclosed wine bottle. A thin needle pokes through the cork, shoots in some argon, and allows you to extract only the amount of wine you need, whether it’s a sip or a glass or two. The argon prevents the rest of the wine in the bottle from oxidizing. The Coravin is a great device for when you don’t want to drink an entire bottle and only want a single glass. If you’re shopping for someone with an expensive taste in wine, they’ll definitely appreciate this gift as they’ll be able to enjoy their wine over time, rather than all in one night. Older models are available on the lower end of the price spectrum, while the newest models are available at the higher end of the price spectrum.
A Wine Fridge
Wine fridges are the ultimate luxury gift. They range in price from $150 to thousands of dollars, depending on the number of bottles they can hold, quality, and settings. Some wine fridges are dual zone, meaning you can set one temperature for white wines and another for red wines. This is a great gift if you know the person you’re shopping for is in need of a better, more controlled wine storage solution at home!
