Top 5 Wine Gifts
1) Set of 4 Glass Straws - Bent
Strawesome: Set of 4 Glass Straws - 8" - Clear - Bent
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) White Round Mod Block
Historical ties to the past are evident in the undulating surfaces of our hand hewn reclaimed trivet. Each trivet is made of timber from the late 1800s, using Old World tools and techniques. Used with hot dishes as well as cold, this trivet is a must have for any table. We have added a contemporary element by adding a splash of high-gloss paint to the edges. Gently clean with soap and water. Treat with wood conditioner to preserve finish.
4) Plastic Shaker
Savino: Shaker33 - Frost
5) Plastic Wine Saver Carafe
A easy-to-use, durable, and beautiful wine preserving carafe made of sturdy Tritan Copolyester features a locking lid, making it perfect for enjoying fresh wine in the backyard, at the pool, on a boat, or wherever life takes you.
