Top 5 Wine Gifts
1) Premium Beer Making Kit

Craft a Brew is a DIY home beer brewing kit that will make outstanding craft beer right out of the box. It is designed to allow customers to make the best possible beer in their own kitchen on their first attempt. The premium brewing kits use only 100% malt extract, world-class specialty grains, fresh hops, and high-quality yeast: everything you need to create great tasting beer.
2) 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.
3) 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.
4) 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.
5) The Wave™ Wine Bottle Purifier

The Wave™ wine stopper lets you enjoy a bottle of wine without some of the unpleasant side effects, while simultaneously aerating the wine. This product removes histamines and sulfites, which are found in most wines and can cause reactions like congestion, red cheeks, and a headache. It won't affect your wine’s flavor and it is portable, easy to use, and disposable.
