I love this sleek and beautiful wine decanter. Any one who drinks wine at home would love to have this decanter. It not only helps to quickly breath life into older vintage wines, it also looks lovely on the table.

The decanter is made of 100% lead-free crystal. It is designed to hold a 750ml bottle of wine with the right amount of breathable surface area remaining at the top when full. It also has an easy pour slanted spout.

If this decanter’s too “ordinary” for you, check out this one and this one. Love!

You may think your friend is a wine snob, but they probably just really love their wine! There’s nothing like opening an older vintage wine, aerating it properly, and enjoying the aromas as you sip and enjoy. This Aervana wine aerator does all the work to bring an aged wine back to life so you can fully enjoy it.

We found and purchased our animal wine pourer in Sonoma at a winery that stocked at least a dozen different animals. We bought the bear and named him Wineston. The pourer aerates the wine through its mouth as you pour, which is a great added bonus. The real joy is watching the wine pour from its mouth and into your glass. Sounds strange, but I’ve yet to meet someone who wasn’t fascinated by it.

The perfect casual gift – perhaps for a coworker or acquaintance – these coasters are adorned by cute wine phrases and will make a great addition to the coffee table as conversation starters.

We received these wine stakes as a wedding gift and found them indispensable for picnics and events held outside. They stake easily into the ground to provide a place to keep your bottle and wine glasses upright in the grass. Genius.

Ever thought about hosting your own blind wine tasting party? We used to hold one every year and our guests loved it. It’s a fun way to get to know wine better, to try your skills at blind tasting, and to have a fun time while doing it.

If the person you’re buying for likes to travel for wine, like we do, then this is the perfect gift to give them. You can securely pack up to 12 bottles of wine in this suitcase. The secure, padded spaces make sure the wine stays secure during transit. You can also remove one or both of the inserts and use it for clothing,
or a mix of both. The suitcase has spinner wheels, so it’s easy to push. And it conforms to all TSA airline standards.

It also comes in a smaller 8-bottle version. See it in action here.

These things come in handy when you’re at a wine tasting event where you need to carry your glass and a plate of food at the same time. You can just put this around your neck and you can be hands free. We’ve used these every year at the Sonoma Wine Weekend and people are always asking us where we got them.

This wine bottle brainteaser game goes well on any coffee table. No one who sits down in front of it can resist trying to work it out. Trust me, it’s not as easy as it looks. The wine isn’t included, but the instructions and solution are (just in case).

This is no ordinary beach back. It actually holds up to 2 bottles of wine (or 1.5 liters of your favorite drink – which better be wine) in a hidden, insulated compartment, so you can lug your wine to the beach in style and keep it hidden away (and chilled properly!). Plus there’s still room for your beach things. The pouch inside can be reused as long as you keep it clean and dry.

These are not your ordinary wine glass charms. They’re way cuter! The guests will love picking out their color and sticking him on the wine stem. They’re endless fun. Don’t believe me? Give them a try. You’ll see. No one can resist the wine watchers. We also love the mustache version.
