Seven Wine Gift Ideas

From Wine Magazines to Wine Bottle Openers

Michael Martin
You're looking for some wine gift ideas. Yes, you can bail out and settle for a bottle of red or white wine. However, there's so much else out there for the wine drinker to experience. Let's look at some fun wine gift ideas.

# 1 - Subscription to a Wine Magazine

Wine gift ideas begin with a subscription to a wine magazine on behalf of the wine drinker. Wine magazines are educational. They provide wine drinking tips and exposure to different wine-producing countries. There's also some quality commentary about the ins and outs of the wine drinking world. I received a subscription to a magazine when I first started drinking wine, and it was a fantastic gift. Two magazines in circulation are Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast.

# 2 - Wine Dictionary

A book on wine drinking is an essential tool for the beginner. The dictionary gives easy definitions for every wine term, which can provide a quick tutorial in wine drinking.

# 3 - Wine Club of the Month

This is the gift that keeps on giving. When you purchase a wine club for someone, this means the person will receive one to two bottles of wine per month for a specified length of time. There's three months, six months, and up to one year. It's a classic gift because the wines received are generally very good selections from different countries.

# 4 - Wine Class

Similar to a wine club, purchasing a class about wine tasting is an exciting wine gift idea. Wine classes are usually as advertised. Many courses are available; check your local area by searching the internet.

# 5 - Wine Rack

As the wine drinker's collection grows, a sharp wine rack is a classy gift. There are plenty of places to purchase wine racks. Here's just a sample of some places that sell them.

# 6 - Wine Bottle Stoppers

Every wine collection needs wine bottle stoppers to eliminate air from protruding into the bottle. There's a vast array of stoppers available. There's everything from snazzy, sharp-looking stoppers to fun, party-type ones. Plenty of websites offer wine bottle stoppers. Here's a sample of two that sell them.
