20+ Gift Ideas for Wine Lovers

Giving wine as a gift is great. You can always find one that suits a person’s taste, personality and lifestyle. And we know what you can add to a gift for the wine lover in your life! From human-sized collector’s bottles to clever wine storage devices, we have more than enough ideas for more than one gift!

Large volumes

If you want to give wine as a gift, look out for large volumes of one and a half litres or more. Firstly, it looks spectacular. Secondly, the larger the litre, the more valuable it is. And finally, wines in magnums (1.5 litres), Jeroboams (3 litres) and Imperials (4.5 litres) assume longer storage. So you won’t get bad stuff in them.

Wine sets

Yes, we know how difficult it is to stand in front of a shelf with numerous beautiful labels. So we saved you the agony and did some serious wine casting. We have chosen the best ones and grouped them into sets, each of which has its own mission: to make a romantic dinner even more romantic, to set the tone for the holiday or simply to relax you after a hard day.

Storage accessories

Connoisseurs dream of savouring each good bottle for longer, but, alas, for the drink long contact with oxygen is destructive – open wine “lives” only a couple of days. Special gadgets can extend the shelf life: a powerful Coravin, which fills the empty space in the bottle with inert gas and thus protects the wine from oxidation, or a universal pump cork.

Sulphite filter

Sulphites (sulphur, E220 or SO2) are completely natural in wine. They are found in minimal doses – 100-200 mg/litre, which is ten times less than the amount of sulphur, for example, in dried fruit. But myths about sulphites make many people look for wine without sulphur. In such cases, the Üllo gadget, which is able to filter out SO2, will come to the rescue.

Sommelier kit

A professional two-stage corkscrew, aka “narzanik” or sommelier knife, is easy to use, doesn’t take up much space and can be beautifully decorated with wood, precious metals or stones. Add to it an electronic wine thermometer in the form of a wristband on the bottle, a cooling jacket and metal drip traps. The perfect set to feel like a real sommelier.

Tasting ticket

If your friend loves going to tastings or trying different varieties and styles, give them a ticket to a tasting with a sommelier. It’s a great opportunity to talk to an expert and discover new flavours.

Professional glass

A good decanter or a pair of quality glasses from the latest collection will never be out of place in a wine enthusiast’s home. Only choose glassware from professional ranges. For example, the Macaron series from Chef & Sommelier. The glasses have an innovative double bowl and an attractive design.

Sabrage knife

You don’t have to be a hussar and use a cold weapon to open a sparkling wine by effectively cutting the neck of the bottle along with the cork. A kitchen knife and sometimes the base of a glass are enough for sabrage – in this art, the point of application of effort is more important than the object in your hands. But a special knife for sabrage, which by the way is not sharp at all, is the perfect gift for those who love spectacular performances.

Wine Game

Book a day and invite a group of friends to drink wine all together or have two teams compete to be the best tasters of the year. In the Wine Casino, you’ll try to guess the varietal and region for the drinks you’re tasting blind, while in the WineTrip game you’ll have to use your imagination to describe wine terms and appellations using gestures and drawings. This gift is sure to be remembered as the most emotional!

Wine books

Many beautiful encyclopaedias on wine are released every year. Choose any of them or bet on the popular digital format – e-learning programmes can be completed on a convenient schedule and you can even get a full-fledged sommelier education this way!

Wine cooler

The perfect accessory when you need to chill your wine in a hurry. By taking it out of the freezer you’ll have your wine at the right temperature in just 5 minutes. Don’t thank me!

Wine cabinet

Wine storage is an important part of the wine enthusiast’s hobby. Extraneous odours, temperature fluctuations, sunlight – everything affects the preservation of wine. A wine cabinet is the perfect solution for the safe storage and development of wine. The only problem is that over time the bottles get bigger and the cabinet stays the same.

Gastronomic basket

If one always has wine at home, grab an appetiser! A beautiful set with Italian delicacies from pesto to truffles, chocolate to the Christmas dessert panettone will delight the hedonist.

Your own wine from Bordeaux

If the task is to give a gift to a sophisticated wine lover or business owner, this gift will surprise for sure! Chateau de Pitray offers a certificate for renting vines in Bordeaux, from which they will make your personalised wine with a unique label!

As a bonus, the renter becomes a member of the club, who will be able to fly to Bordeaux for a private party in the chateau during the harvest.

Are there any other gift ideas for wine lovers that aren’t corny?

If a couple of bottles in a box seem trivial to you, or you’re not sure you can please the capricious taste of a wine snob, you can do without the bottles. And here are more options.

Sweatshirts with famous wine labels

Inspired by their travels through the vineyards, the Hedonism Academy team created their own range of stylish sweatshirts in collaboration with the brand IRRINI.

Many wine lovers have long known that wine labelling is an art form, and beauty is something you want to share! The sweatshirts feature anemones from the Champagne House of Perrier-Jouët, vintage labels by Alphonse Mucha for Moet et Chandon, even David Hawkey’s artwork for Chateau Mouton Rothschild.

Butterfly glasses

Bow ties have long since won a place in the hearts of modern young people who are not afraid to look interesting and bright. An unusual bow tie with wine glasses can be made to order and it will pleasantly surprise you.

Wine cosmetics

When travelling to wineries you want to buy not only a bottle of wine as a gift, but also something interesting in the form of a key chain made of cork or Sauvignon blanc jam! In this case, you don’t have to go to Chianti to buy an interesting gift. Wine cosmetics from Chianti producer Piemaggio can be bought in some online shops.

Connoisseurs

Gifts for serious, pragmatic wine snobs and those who like to talk about wine with fervour, reminiscing about the best vintages and bottles they’ve drunk in Michelin restaurants, chateaux and trendy wine bars should have a special meaning.

A great, win-win gift for those who are interested in wine, but who already have all or almost all of it, would be a certificate for a gastronomic dinner with wine.

Visuals

Gifts for romantic natures and aesthetes who are very fond of the beautiful, appreciate art and between the beautiful and the practical most often choose the beautiful.

These are gifts that you can make with your own hands (provided that you like to do needlework and you have time for it). If you have neither time, nor desire, nor creative spirit, you can rely on handmade women, of whom there are hundreds on Instagram. Some of the most desirable gifts for wine girls are brooches-glasses, handmade from beads, rhinestones, beads, glass, wood, enamel or acrylic. The choice is wide, as well as the price range for the products.

Another interesting and stylish gifts are accessories made of wine corks. Skilful people make earrings, trinkets and even cufflinks for men. It looks original and quite stylish.

Merrymakers

Gifts for people with a sense of humour, who do not take wine too seriously, ready to joke about themselves and this slightly snobbish world.

Textiles with wine-themed prints, but not only with labels. It can be T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, shopping bags and even actual masks with a bold or funny inscription, looking at which the owner and anyone you meet will involuntarily smile.

For lovers of something cute, there are funny animals with glasses and bottles that lift the mood with their appearance alone.
