7 “Must Buy” Gifts For True Wine Lovers (More Creative Than Chardonnay)
Something tells me I’m going to LOVE this gift…
While a bottle of wine may be the classic present for the wine lover in your life, receiving yet another Cabernet, Merlot, or Chardonnay can feel a little uninspired. Instead, surprise them (or yourself) with a gift that’ll give them a Riesling to be full of cheer! To help you find that perfect present, we've rounded up some of the most useful and inventive gifts that they’ll treasure for years to come.

We recommend them purely based on their creativity, usefulness, and how other wine lovers seem to enjoy them, not on personal experience
If you’re an avid wine drinker, you’ll understand the frustration of those pesky wine openers that are tricky to use and always seem to disappear right when you need them most. Luckily, we’ve found a great solution: a simple way for you to open your wine bottle like a pro with a personalized electric wine bottle opener.
All you need to do is place your favorite wine bottle in the black stand, featuring a built-in foil cutter, and the stainless steel opener's two buttons take care of the rest. The included USB charger recharges the bottle opener so you’ll be ready at the drop of a cork wherever you go. You can even engrave the back of the electric bottle opener with a name, special date, or meaningful message that they’ll love.
Nothing pairs better with a glass of wine than a good read in the tub!
Ever dreamed of sipping your favorite wine in the tub? Now you can relax in style with the next gift on our list. The SipCaddy is the only portable cupholder in the world that also holds wine glasses!
You can attach it to any glossy/glazed/nonporous surface for an instant drink butler for your wine of choice. Not only will it make you feel like royalty, it is made to last with the highest quality suction cup available which can hold up to 7lbs when applied correctly.
Designed and developed by a small team of drinking enthusiasts, architects, and designers, and extensively prototyped with 3D printing, it’ll allow you to relax and toast those tired Tuesdays away with a glass of wine in the shower! It also makes for a handy and versatile shower caddy for everyday shower products as well!
