Top 5 “Wine Lovers” Gifts
1) 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.
2) Wine Sulfite Purifier & Aerator
The Üllo wine purifier targets sulfites that can potentially cause unwanted side effects (for you) and alter taste (for your wine). Sulfites work as a preservative to keep wine fresh until the cork is popped. They can cause things like a stuffy nose for some people and even affect a wine’s flavor. Just pour a glass (or bottle) of wine through the sulfite capture filter and enjoy. Wine is now in its purest, preservative-free form. If you’re sipping a red, the filter can serve as an aerator, too.
3) Sparkling Wine Kit
Brooklyn Brew Shop: Sparkling Wine Kit
4) Wine Glass Shades
Vellum lamp shades that convert wine glasses into elevated votives. For use with standard size wine glasses. Made in USA.
5) Cool ID Tumbler - Set of 2
Say cheers to ceramic tumblers that keep beverages perfectly chilled. Submerge the tumblers in cool water to activate their natural cooling properties. This ceramic absorbs the water quickly, leaving the surface dry, so there’s no condensation, inside or out. Your drinks stay cool for hours. The matte surface is sophisticated and also acts as a chalkboard if you want to write on it.
