Puzzled about what the top gift ideas for wine lovers are? You may want to find the perfect wine-oriented gift for your favorite oenophile; but unless you’ve already spent a lot of time looking (and maybe if you have), you’re probably at a loss as how to find the perfect gift for the wine lover on your list. Of course, they’d prefer to have their own personal vineyard, but if this is beyond your means at the moment, keep reading for some other great gift ideas for the wine lover in your life.
10 Great Gifts For The Wine Lover
1. Still gotta go with that vineyard motif….okay, not a whole vineyard. Some wineries advertise that you can become part owner in their independent vineyard for a cost. You might want to check this out, it won’t make you wealthy overnight, but hey, you will be a part owner. The part of the vineyard you own will really be small but the gift and the thought behind it are way cool.
2. Wine glasses are always a great idea for wine lovers. This is a gift which you know they’ll use, probably right away. Consider picking up some large, high quality crystal wine glasses; these look great, are great to use and will certainly be appreciated.
3. A Purple “Instant Youth” bottle bag. These are always good for a chuckle, with their slogan of “Instant Youth – just add wine”. Of course, you’ll want to put a bottle of something good inside; this will get an even bigger smile from the recipient.
4. Personalized labels. You can order a bottle of Petite Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Grigio with a personalized label; this can feature the design or photo of your choice.
5. One ideal selection among wine gifts is a portable wine box or basket. These come in an amazing variety. You can choose one made from leather, wicker, or even wood. Some of these carry single bottles of wine while others have room for 2 or more. There are also higher end models that include wine stoppers, corkscrews, glasses and napkins that make them perfect take-a-longs for a concert or picnic.
6. If your wine lover enjoys games you can dazzle and delight them with a Wineopoly board game. The tokens used for the game include a wine glass, carafe, cheese, grapes and more. You can best your friends and become a grape champ as you challenge them with this game, and you really learn some cool facts about wine as you play.
7. Wine glass charms are always appreciated. These decorative items are collected by many wine lovers and you can even order custom made sets of these wine glass charms from some companies.
8. A wine club membership is a fantastic gift idea for anyone, whether they are already serious about their wine or just learning. This is a great way to introduce them to your favorite winery. Wine club memberships are available with many options and can be customized to suit the tastes of the recipient.
9. Cookbooks with wine-related recipes are terrific gift ideas for wine lovers. Food and wine go together like.. well, food and wine! You can put together a great gift basket including a cookbook, some cheeses, a bottle of good wine and other accessories – this is a very thoughtful gift for the wine lover on your list.
10. Novelty T-shirts featuring wine-related slogans will always be appreciated by wine lovers; how about:
• Get a Tan with your Tannins…pick your own grapes
• The Wine is Divine but it crushed the poor grapes
• Nectar of the gods…Produced by our soles
• Us Old Vines Have The Best Wines
• Wine is fruit….and they recommend 4 servings of fruit daily
