If you know someone that loves wine it’s fair to assume that they already own a corkscrew, at least one wine glass and probably half a dozen or so bottles of wine, right? So what does that leave you to buy them as a gift? Well, lots actually, ranging from novelty items that will raise a smile to serious gadgets and gizmos that will take wine drinking to a whole new level.

For a little bit of fun look for novelty wine charms that attach to the stems of wine glasses to avoid confusion over which drink belongs to which person (assuming everyone can still remember their charm!). For wine drinkers that like to savour a bottle you could consider wine stoppers or even wine preservers that attach to opened bottles of wine and stop the remaining contents from spoiling.

Wine lovers that already own every piece of wine paraphernalia going might enjoy learning more about the world’s wines or perhaps even viticulture with any of a range of wine books catering to complete novices and connoisseurs alike. For the wine aficionado the ultimate gift has to be an adopt a vine gift box, with which the recipient will become an adopter of a vine at one of any number of vineyards in Britain or abroad. A vine will be uniquely assigned to the adopter, usually for 12 months, and typically the recipient will also be entitled to a free tour of the vineyard and a discount on all purchases of the vineyard’s wine. That’s about as close as the average person will get to owning their own vineyard, which has to be the ultimate dream for any wine lover!
