While it may seem like a go-to gift, buying a good bottle for a wine snob can be more than a little intimidating. So many varietals, so little time and knowledge to pick one out.

Fortunately, wine culture covers a lot more than what comes out of the grape. So if you want to pick out something extra special and forego the confusing trip to your local liquor barn, not to worry. There’s plenty more to choose from.

To help you in your quest, we’ve curated a list of creative ideas to please any connoisseur. From glassware to decor, gadgets to gourmet wine pairings, we have you covered with a range of choices to suit a variety of tastes and budgets.

Now let’s get our journey into wine culture started with the 41 best gifts for wine lovers.

Glassware

Just as there are a myriad of wines to drink, there are a myriad of ways to drink it. Here are some excellent glassware choices to suit a variety of wine drinking occasions.

Zalto Denk’ Art Universal Wine Glass

This hand-blown beauty is considered to be the gold standard in glassware among sommeliers and other experts. Yes, the Zalto Denk’ Art Universal Wine Glasses cost $59 a piece, but it will make your favorite wine lover feel like a pro when they’re swirling their favorite vintage around to see if it has enough body.

Buy a pair, and they may even invite you over to share that special bottle they’ve been hoarding.

Bormioli Glasses

Then again, sometimes it’s fun to go with a stemless wine glass. These romantic Bormi o li tumblers bring a touch of casual European chic while sipping the night away. Pair them with pasta and a good wine, and you can almost imagine you’re in Tuscany.

Riedel Winewings Champagne and White Wine Glass

No, it’s not the typical flute you think of when it comes to drinking champagne. But unlike a narrow glass, the wider rim glass will allow the aromatics of their favorite sparkling wine to be released more easily. In other words, they’ll get a little more bang out of their bubbly.

Corkcicle Insulated Wine Tumbler

No, it’s not made of fine crystal. But when sipping rosé in the backyard, this insulated Corkcicle wine cooler is probably the first glass they’ll reach for. And they don’t break at pool parties!

Riedel Cabernet Decanter

Pros love this classic wine decanter from renowned glassware maker Riedel. Lightweight but sturdy, the minimalist design is a chic addition to any bar. It’s also a great buy and can be used for all wine types.

For a little name brand cache at a reasonable price, this decanter is hard to beat.

RBT Wine Decanter

With a gold stainless steel funnel top and matching coaster bottom, this RBT decanter filters and aerates your bottle of wine while also catching any drips. It’s sure to become the decanter they can’t live without.

Keeping It Cool

Summer is coming fast and as the temperatures rise so do the chances of a lukewarm pinot grigio. Here are some ways to make sure those refreshing whites and rosés are served at the perfect temperature all season long.

Wood Marble Wine Cooler

Whether it’s chardonnay or rosé all day, this elegant wine cooler from Crate and Barrel will make sure their favorite wine stays crisp and cool while adding a touch of class to their table.

Corkcicle Wine Chiller

Nothing puts a damper on a party like a lukewarm white. When they need to chill that chardonnay stat, this handy gadget from Corkcicle will cool it fast without watering it down. Let the sipping (or guzzling) begin!

BruMate Winseulator and Wine Tumblers

When the warm weather hits, many wine lovers like to enjoy a glass in the great outdoors. This insulator from Brumate keeps wine cool for 24 hours and comes with a couple of glasses to ensure that their adventures at the beach or park are totally chill.

Le Creuset Wine Cooler Sleeve

For the rough and tumble wine drinker/camper, this Le Creuset wine cooling sleeve has two removable gel packs that can chill a bottle of white in 30 minutes. Now all they have to do is figure out what pairs best with s’mores.

Charleston Wine and Champagne Bucket

Then again, few things are elegant as a classic champagne bucket. Made from polished stainless steel, this one from Crate and Barrel will bring an extra special touch to festivities at home.

Wine Carrying

Whether traveling through wine country or across town to a soiree, these gifts will give your wine lover a convenient way to carry their bottle of wine wherever they roam.

Wine Check Wine Bag

Visiting wine country may be their dream. But figuring out how to get their favorite bottle home can be a nightmare. This handy wine check wine bag keeps wine safe from breakage and temperature changes and can be easily checked at the counter. And to any wine snob, the extra baggage fee will definitely be worth it!

Malsa Wine Bottle Protectors

Then again, your wine lover may want to travel on the down low with their favorite bottle. In that case, these Malsa bubble padded holders with a double zip and leak proof protection fit nicely in a suitcase and will ensure that their clothes don’t get marinated in merlot.

And they’re also reusable. Cheers to that!

Legacy Wine Tote

Sometimes there’s nothing like opening a bottle in the open air. And with two bottle pouches, a corkscrew, a cheeseboard and a knife, this handy canvas Legacy wine tote makes wining and dining al fresco a breeze.

Tirrinia Single Bottle Wine Tote

If your favorite wine snob is heading across town to a party, this insulated single bottle tote will keep their wine safe and appropriately chilled. Now that’s how to make an entrance.

Wine Carrier and Picnic Table

This handy wooden carrier is made from beautiful cherry wood and folds out into a picnic table. And it can even be engraved with your favorite wine lover’s name.

Wine Openers and Stoppers

Opening and closing wine is an essential part of enjoying any vintage. Here’s how to get the job done properly.

Durand Wine Opener

Any true wine snob probably has a few older bottles hidden away. The problem? Aged corks can be fragile.

The Durand wine opener allows aficionados to open older vintages without ripping the middle of the cork out or pushing it into the bottle – rescuing both the wine and the special occasion they saved it for. Phew!

Zig Zag Corkscrew

If they appreciate a vintage wine, why not give them a vintage corkscrew to go with it? The Zig Zag corkscrew was originally designed and patented by Jules Bart in 1919 and has since acquired a cult following. The series of levers actually reduce the amount of force needed to pull a cork from a bottle.

Made in France with the original molds and presses, this corkscrew definitely gives opening a bottle that certain je ne sais quoi!

Pulltex Antiox Carbon Filter Wine Preserving Stopper

Much simpler to operate than a vacuum pump, this Pulltex stopper has an internal carbon filter which prevents wine from oxidizing in the bottle and keeps it fresh for up to 10 days. It also has a manual day indicator at the top to help record when the wine was first opened.

For those times when your favorite aficionado can’t finish a bottle, this little gadget is a true wine saver.

Repour Wine Saver

Said to preserve wine for up to two months, this Repour stopper works by absorbing oxygen from “above the wine and from the wine itself.” For people who like to open multiple bottles and not worry about wasting a precious drop, this one’s a real corker!

Fantes Champagne Stopper

This champagne stopper keeps leftover sparkling wines bubbly so that the party can resume any time. The Fantes rubber stopper keeps the pressure on and the hinge clasp prevents the top from slipping off and releasing the carbonation. Sure to bring a little sparkle to a champagne lover’s eyes.

Birthstone Wine Stopper

Of course, during a fete, it’s nice to preserve wine with a little more style. These hand blown glass wine stoppers are truly eye catching and bring a sense of occasion to any gathering.

Soiree Must Haves

The only thing better than enjoying a good glass of wine is enjoying it with friends. These decor, serving trays and other party essentials will ensure a successful soiree.
