Best Gifts for Wine Lovers
The gift of wine is a tasteful choice! When choosing a gift, make it special. In other words, don’t just choose something you know they like; look for something similar, but perhaps a little more unique.
For example, if they love Champagne, why not buy them a bottle of Crémant? Crémant is French sparkling wine made with the same method as Champagne—except it’s produced outside of the geographical region of Champagne. You’ll find lovely Crémant d’Alsace is generally made with pinot gris, while Crémant de Bourgogne is usually chardonnay.
Can’t find Crémant? Try a traditional method sparkling from California, like Brewer-Clifton from Santa Barbara or Schramsberg in Napa Valley. You may already know that some of the top Champagne houses of France operate wineries in Napa and Sonoma, but if you didn’t, they’re worth discovering too. Roederer Estate, Mumm Napa, and Domaine Chandon are all excellent and festive choices.
Holiday Gift Guide: Must-Have Wine Accessories
Whether you’re looking for a stocking-stuffer or a grand gesture, here are a few wine accessories to make any wine lover swoon.
Coravin
Anyone with an extensive wine collection will love a Coravin. This little gadget allows you to access the wine in the bottle without pulling the cork. It displaces the oxygen inside with argon gas, preserving the open bottle of wine for up to four months! They also offer lots of other great gadgets, like aerators, decanters, and gorgeous corkscrews.
Varietal-Specific Glassware
There’s nothing like enjoying your favorite wine in a glass that’s scientifically engineered to enhance the enjoyment of it. Choose from varietal-specific glassware for chardonnay, pinot noir, or choose Grand Cru for the ultimate cabernet sauvignon experience.
Decanters and Aerators
Whether you’re looking for a show-stopper or a stocking stuffer, there are plenty of intriguing gadgets that are both practical and beautiful. Riedel, Speigalau, and Eisch are just a few quality decanter brands, but for something a bit more compact, choose a Vinturi or an Eparé.

Undoubtedly, the ultimate gift for any wine lover is a wine club membership. What could be better than being reminded of how much you care every single month?
