Top 5 Wine Gifts
1) Wine Sulfite Purifier & Aerator
The Üllo wine purifier targets sulfites that can potentially cause unwanted side effects (for you) and alter taste (for your wine). Sulfites work as a preservative to keep wine fresh until the cork is popped. They can cause things like a stuffy nose for some people and even affect a wine’s flavor. Just pour a glass (or bottle) of wine through the sulfite capture filter and enjoy. Wine is now in its purest, preservative-free form. If you’re sipping a red, the filter can serve as an aerator, too.
2) Insulated Stainless Steel Water & Wine Bottle
Eco Vessel: Insulated Stainless Steel Water & Wine Bottle - Gold Dust
3) Set of 4 Glass Straws - Bent
Strawesome: Set of 4 Glass Straws - 8" - Clear - Bent
4) Set of Two Reusable Wine Caps
A reusable cap to reseal an open bottle of wine between glasses or overnight so the bottle can be laid on its side without leaking. It also can fit in the fridge door without rearranging the contents.
5) 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.
