Need to find the perfect gift for a friend or loved one who enjoys a nice vino? Time may be running out, but SlyMiser’s got you covered. Check out these five gift ideas for the wine-inclined.
1. Wine Aerator
Aerators literally breathe life into wines much more quickly than the decanter method. You can immediately tell the difference. The Venturi Red Wine Aerator is a great value and a convenient tool. Adding this to your friend’s wine arsenal will open up a new world of taste. Cost: $39.95 (via Crate & Barrel)
2. Wine and Cheese Tote
If your friend likes long walks on the beach (or at least is into portable wine options), the Picnic Time Meritage Insulated Triangular Wine and Cheese Tote is a great gift. The insulated tote has room for wine and cheese service for two, so it’s perfect for a special date, an outdoor concert, or any trip. The adjustable strap makes it easy to carry, and it comes complete with a cheese board and other supplies. Cost: $49.60 (via Amazon.com)
3. 10-Bottle Mid-Century Wall Rack
Does your loved one like to enjoy a fine red while watching Mad Men? Splurge on a 10-Bottle Mid-Century Wall Rack. This stylish storage option is functional art – a very cool way to display your collection without adding a bulky cooler to the house. Cost: $99.99 (via Target.com)
4. Stainless Steel Champagne-Wine Bucket
Help your friend serve their favorite chilled wines in style. This Stainless Steel Champagne-Wine Bucket is a very modern take on a classic. Its double-wall construction helps your bottle stay colder longer. Cost: $29.95 (via CB2)
5. Metrokane Houdini Lever Style Corkscrew
The elegant Metrokane Houdini Lever Style Corkscrew with Foil Cutter in silver combines form and function into an ideal gift for the person who could use a little help opening up that wine just a little faster. It opens a bottle in three seconds, to be exact and has a 10-year warranty. Cost: $30.00 (via Amazon.com)
