6 Great Gift Ideas for Wine Lovers

If there's a wine lover on your gift list and you don't know your zinfandel from your pinot noir, you may be stumped for present ideas.  Fortunately, wine drinking has become so popular that there are many types of gifts available to help someone enjoy their favorite spirit. Use this list to help inspire you on your quest.

A case of wine
A wine lover will obviously love the gift of a case of wine. Do a little investigating and find out what type they prefer. Locate a similar vintage from a small winery, or develop your own case with different specialty wines.

A rabbit corkscrew
Every wine lover needs to open bottles of wine easily and quickly. A Rabbit Corkscrew will help them do just that. This uniquely designed corkscrew is based on ergonomic principles. It was first released in 2001 and has been a favorite of the food and wine community since then. It can open any bottle of wine in three seconds with no strain.

Wine racks
Even if your gift recipient already has a wine rack, most wine lovers could use another. Look for a classic design and, if your gift budget is large, look for a free standing case. The wine rack should be made of quality materials since they are supporting glass bottles. Depending on the décor of the gift recipient, you can choose something to fit their tastes.

A wine chiller
White wine and champagne need to be served chilled. You can give your wine loving friend a tool to get these wines chilled fast. A wine chiller is stored in the freezer and it can chill any bottle within five minutes. Its reusable and totally mess free. This gift allows your favorite wine aficionado to serve their white wines or champagne quickly.

Wine glasses
Wine lovers can never have too many wine glasses. If you're wine illiterate you might not know that there are different glasses for different types of wines. Look for hand blown lead crystal glasses. Glasses come in different shapes for different types of wine. Get your wine lover glasses for something a bit out of the ordinary.

Wine books
With the growth of the oenophile culture has come the growth of books on wine. These books celebrate wine making and all wine related topics. The Wine Bible by Karen MacNeil is a comprehensive reference book on all things wine related. The author will expose your gift recipient to wines they've never heard of and make them see old favorites in new ways. Another good choice is The Little Black Journal of Wine: A Wine Lover's Record Keeper. This book starts out with an introduction to wine tasting and follows with dozens of blank pages where your gift recipient can takes notes on their wine tasting excursions.

No matter what gifts you give your wine lover, they'll be sure to appreciate the time you took in thinking of their favorite interest.
