Gifts for Wine Lovers: Glasses, Decanters and Cheese Tools

Gifts for wine lovers: glasses, decanters, openers and tools, cheese knives and boards, and totes to carry a bottle.

For the Person With an Open Bottle

Gifts for wine lovers are really about the table. A great glass or a good decanter makes the bottle better, and a cheese board finishes the evening. These are my gifts for wine lovers.

Glasses

A good glass changes the pour. The Simon Pearce Madison and the Viski Admiral are elegant, and the Ferm Living Ripple glasses are a softer choice. The Estelle Colored stemware adds a bit of color.

Decanters

A decanter makes any bottle feel like an occasion. The Simon Pearce Madison and Woodbury are classics, and the Viski Seneca is faceted and bold. The Coravin aerators are small and clever.

Openers and Tools

The right tool makes the opener easy. The Le Creuset waiter's friend is the one every wine lover has, and the Rabbit stoppers keep a bottle fresh. The Corkcicle Air chiller keeps white cold.

Cheese and Snacks

Wine wants cheese. The BOSKA and French Home knife sets are sturdy and pretty, and the Nora Fleming maple board is a lovely base. Be Home's cheese tools are for the one who hosts.

To Carry

A bottle bag makes it easy to bring a gift. The Graf Lantz Hana wool bottle bags are soft and sturdy, and the Out of the Woods jute tote is simple. The Picnic Time basket is for a day outside.

Start With the Glass

If you are unsure, pick a pair of glasses. They get used every time a bottle is opened. A decanter is the bigger gift.
