Shopping for wine enthusiasts is always a somewhat terrifying process. As you search the wine racks for the perfect bottle, you flash back to when the connoisseur on your list artfully swirled their wine, sniffed it and sipped. Your worst fear: They won’t like the wine you chose. But there are plenty of wine-related gifts that won’t risk their looks of disapproval. Here are four must-have classic wine accessories your vino-loving friends will love.
Stoppers never stop
Stoppers never get old for any wine enthusiast, since they have several bottles in their kitchen and cellar at all times. Go for a chic and sleek stopper — one they can use for years. If you want to get more personal, there are tons of ways to customize and personalize stoppers — you can even buy them a stopper with adjustable dates to keep track of when they opened the bottle. If they are big entertainers, make sure the stoppers are distinguishable from one another. Explore your options and find the set that fits your friend the best.
Wine rack
Chances are the wine enthusiasts on your list already have a rack or cellar of their own, but they may not have one that’s portable and practical. Extra space and organization is always a sure bet when it comes to gifts. This mini-wine rack holds only one bottle of wine. It is perfect for displaying a more expensive wine that you are saving for a special occasion, or to display a wine that you are going to open that night. (Amazon, $27)
