What are the most popular wine gifts this year?
For someone who loves to frequent a local winery or BYOB restaurant, a quality wine carrier is an absolute must. Now, to take your generosity and thoughtfulness up a notch, be sure to personalize it! There are tons of custom wine cooler totes and other chillers to accommodate a few nice bottles or cans of beer. You can even use these custom pieces for toting your lunch or other perishable items.
Aerating wine is a key component of its enjoyment. For a serious oenophile, a quality carafe transforms the sipping experience no matter the price of the bottle. But instead of a traditionally sized pitcher, surprise them with an entertaining personalized wine flight set for their tasting pleasure.
Proudly displaying wine, cheese, and other appetizers is also important to the seasoned wine lover. If you want a gift that’s perfect for a host or hostess, a personalized vineyard quarter barrel lazy susan is absolutely exceptional. Comprised of reclaimed wood from a wine barrel, this spinning treasure turns the recipient’s family name into the logo of an elegant winery!
Ever wonder where all our empty bottles go? For crafty artisans, an old wine bottle is the ideal medium for creating a stunning personalized cheeseboard. Once the glass is melted down into a charming shape (ideally that of a wine bottle!), artists handcraft a custom image with your family name, year, and any other details you wish. Best of all, this recycled gift isn’t just great—it’s green.
No matter how many wine or whiskey accessories we have, they’re worth nothing if we don’t have the drink itself! To treat yourself, a friend, or family member to a one-of-a-kind experience, check out the top trending gift of 2016: a personalized oak aging barrel! The complete kit not only comes with instructions and provisions for creating your own spirit, but it also makes a gorgeous display for a wine cellar, dining room, and more. These top quality treasures are made of oak stave pieces and feature any name or heading you desire.
