Top 5 Wine Gifts
1) Hand Cut Monogram Stemless Wine Glass - Set of 2
The classic Monogram on these personalized wine glasses is timeless. Susquehanna Glass Company has been hand etching glass in the USA for over 100 years, and they will etch your chosen letters with the attention to detail they’re known for. Each letter is painstakingly hand cut by holding the glass against a rotating stone wheel. The result is a crisp finish that will last for years.
2) Slow Wine Pourer
A slow wine pourer is the best way to serve delicate and older wines. The Vacu Vin tool pours wine from the bottom of the bottle straight to the bottom of your glass slowly. This means there is minimal exposure to oxygen, which can zap freshness and affect taste. This slower method gives an aged bottle of cabernet sauvignon or Bordeaux the special treatment it deserves.
3) Stainless Steel Wine Chiller
Pop a chilled bottle into this stainless steel wine chiller—like rosé, champagne, or even sparkling water—to keep it at a perfectly cool temperature for hours. No trips to the fridge or cooler needed, thanks to double-walled, vacuum-insulated stainless steel that also eliminates drippy condensation. Makes a great wedding or shower gift. Cheers to that.
4) Set of 4 Glass Straws - Bent
Strawesome: Set of 4 Glass Straws - 8" - Clear - Bent
5) Cupa Rocks and Coasters Set
Handblown crystal tumblers that will enhance your favorite spirit. Additional coasters fit each glass perfectly and feature a groove that keeps them stationary.
