15 Must-Have Wine Accessories to Gift Enthusiasts
Are you looking for wine gifts for an enthusiast but don't want to get just another bottle from your local liquor store? Wine accessories are the perfect way to elevate their wine-drinking experience while giving them a thoughtful present they wouldn't think to get for themselves. Get them a gift they'll love with these must-have wine accessories to gift for any occasion.
1. Wine Aerator Pourer
While a seasoned connoisseur may already have an array of wine tools, a wine aerator pourer is an ideal gift for someone just beginning to explore their passion. This handy accessory accelerates oxidation, allowing the wine to open up and reveal its fullest flavours and aromas. Whether they enjoy bold reds or crisp whites, an aerator enhances their experience with every pour.
2. Glass Wine Decanter
A glass wine decanter is another great tool that will help your recipient get the most out of their wine-drinking experience. Like an aerator, a decanter allows the wine to breathe and interact with oxygen, elevating its natural taste and aroma. Moreover, a glass wine decanter doubles as an aesthetic decor, bringing an aura of elegance to any table setting.
3. Wine Bottle Stoppers
A wine stopper is an accessory that you can never have enough of. Best of all, they come in various styles and materials, transforming a simple tool into a fun, personalized gift for any occasion. The key is finding a style that fits the event. Whether it's an elegant decoration or a humorous topper, this accessory blends practicality with a touch of personality for the perfect gift.
4. Home Wine Racks
With a growing collection of gift baskets from Wine Club Canada, your wine enthusiasts are going to need somewhere to store their unopened bottles. For this reason, a home wine rack can make the perfect gift that stands out from all the other wine gifts they will receive. Wine racks come in a variety of styles, making them a versatile gift for any budget and design.
5. Wine Coolers & Mini Fridges
Not all wines belong on a rack, and a wine cooler is an essential storage accessory any connoisseur needs for their collection. This is a particularly thoughtful gift for white, rosé, or sparkling wine drinkers. Regardless of the variety, a wine cooler ensures your recipient's favourite bottles are always stored at the perfect temperature for optimal preservation.
6. Marble Wine Chiller
What is the point of going through the trouble of storing your wine in a fridge if it's just going to warm up when you go to serve it? A marble wine chiller makes a thoughtful gift, keeping their favourite wine perfectly chilled while adding a touch of sophistication to both the aesthetic and taste of the drinking experience.
7. Crystal Wine Glass Set
As any seasoned connoisseur can attest, the wine glass matters when it comes to the overall wine-tasting experience. An effective wine glass releases and collects aromas for a sophisticated sensation on both the lips and nose. Do your recipient the favour of getting them a crystal wine glass set and watch as they enjoy their favourite varieties in a whole new way.
8. Insulated Wine Tumblers for Outdoor Use
While glassware adds an air of sophistication, sometimes the drinking occasion calls for a good old hardy tumbler. If your recipient is someone who loves to be on the go, be it camping, sitting on the beach, or just hanging out by the pool, get them an insulated wine tumbler. Along with keeping their beverage cool, it also ensures no breakage for a relaxing day outside.
9. Gourmet Wine Pairing Board
No bottle of wine is complete without the perfect snacks to complement it. Tailor a basket with cheeses, charcuterie, fruits, and nuts to match your recipient's favourite variety, or offer a mix to let them experiment. This versatile gift invites wine lovers to discover their ideal pairings. It's a fun and thoughtful way to elevate their wine experience.
10. Electric Wine Opener
An electric bottle opener is a wine accessory many enthusiasts won't buy for themselves. They think they can get by with a traditional corkscrew until they actually have tools that make it easier. Show them how invaluable this wine gadget is, and watch as they uncork even the trickiest of wine bottles within seconds.
11. Wine Preservation System
Perfect for those who enjoy a glass of wine over dinner or after work, a wine preservation system ensures their wine stays fresh long after its initial opening. Whether using a vacuum pump or a more advanced system, this thoughtful gift allows your recipient to sample a wine and store it for future drinking, making it ideal for any collector.
12. Wine Tasting Notebook
A wine-tasting notebook is a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves sampling new varieties and vineyards. It allows wine enthusiasts to track tasting notes and remember favourite bottles, so they'll never forget that one unforgettable wine. Ideal on its own, this gift is even better when paired with a wine club subscription for ongoing tasting adventures.
13. Leather Wine Travel Bag
A leather travel bag is the perfect gift for your local wine expert. Ideal for bringing bottles to gatherings or transporting rare finds from wine regions around the world, these bags offer a stylish and secure way to carry wine. Durable and elegant, this accessory ensures their favourite bottles reach their destination safely. It is perfect for the wine lover that is always on the go.
14. Wine-Themed Coasters
Wined-themed coasters aren't going to wow anyone. But they do make a great stocking stuffer or addition to one of these themed gift basket ideas. What's more, coasters come in a variety of styles and can be tailored to the relationship, from humorous sayings to a fashionable design that will elevate any in-home bar.
