Top 5 Wine Gifts
1) Stainless Steel Wine Chiller
Pop a chilled bottle into this stainless steel wine chiller—like rosé, champagne, or even sparkling water—to keep it at a perfectly cool temperature for hours. No trips to the fridge or cooler needed, thanks to double-walled, vacuum-insulated stainless steel that also eliminates drippy condensation. Makes a great wedding or shower gift. Cheers to that.
2) Stemless Wine Glass
Vinglacé: Stemless Wine Glass - Sea Glass
3) Slow Wine Pourer
A slow wine pourer is the best way to serve delicate and older wines. The Vacu Vin tool pours wine from the bottom of the bottle straight to the bottom of your glass slowly. This means there is minimal exposure to oxygen, which can zap freshness and affect taste. This slower method gives an aged bottle of cabernet sauvignon or Bordeaux the special treatment it deserves.
4) Wine Sulfite Purifier & Aerator
The Üllo wine purifier targets sulfites that can potentially cause unwanted side effects (for you) and alter taste (for your wine). Sulfites work as a preservative to keep wine fresh until the cork is popped. They can cause things like a stuffy nose for some people and even affect a wine’s flavor. Just pour a glass (or bottle) of wine through the sulfite capture filter and enjoy. Wine is now in its purest, preservative-free form. If you’re sipping a red, the filter can serve as an aerator, too.
5) Glass Wine Saver Carafe
Designed to serve and preserve a bottle of wine. Keeps wine fresh for up to one week.
