Gift Guide: For Wine Lovers!

The Wine Bible. A very handy companion guide for any wine lover. From Amazon.The Wine Bible is broken into countries, concentrating on the major wine producing countries but also the smaller ones as well. Each section gives detailed descriptions of the country’s wines and the regions within that country, highlighting specific wine producers and individual wines, as well as talking about local foods and culture surrounding wine.

Themed Wine Charms. Wine Charms are a great gift for office mates, friends, or even a stocking stuffer. I love the ones from Clinks because they have several themes to choose from to make the gift personal: Mad Men, Star Wars, holiday, SATC, even tri-athelon ones. They also have beer charms. From Clinks on Etsy.

Rabbit Wine Bottle Aerator-Pourer. No need to wait around for a wine to open up. From the wine wizards at Rabbit, this specialty gadget aerates red wines as you pour, quickly releasing the flavors and bouquet without use of a decanter. From Crate & Barrel.

Barbara Carafe: Design House Stockholm. Nina Job’s mouthblown carafe has all the sensual materiality of timeless glass. This carafe is also an elegant ecofriendly alternative for tap water. The coloured round crystal ball doubles as a sealing stopper and a tactile ball to play with. The ball can also nestle in the enclosure at the bottom of the vase, adding a vibrant touch of colour. From our friends at ShopHorne.
