You may have someone in your life (a family member or a friend) who loves wine. While on the surface it may seem like it is therefore easy to buy an appropriate gift at Christmas or for birthdays, in reality if you aren’t that familiar with this hobby, it can be a bit challenging to get them something they will actually like.
Fortunately, wine connoisseurs always like to try something new related to their hobby and there are many things you can get for the wine lover in your life without spending a fortune.
So, here are some a few ideas of what to buy for the wine connoisseur in your life.
Customized Bottles
Interestingly, one of the most popular gifts you can get for that wine lover in your life are custom liquor bottles. This can be in any shape you want and can be embossed with your friends’ initials or may even have a customized label with their name on it. This may sound expensive, but there are many companies online that can offer this service for less than you think, thus allowing you to give your friend a gift that is set apart from the rest.
Personalized Corkscrew
Another area that is great to personalize is the corkscrew itself. This can be monogrammed, have a symbol or image placed on it, or you could have an important date engraved on it, such as a wedding day or the birthday of their first child. Corkscrews can also be set in different metals, meaning that you can color code them for your friend too.
Wine Cellar
OK, so you may be wondering how on earth you afford a wine cellar but take a breath and calm down! A wine cellar doesn’t have to be a basement with bottles of wine that are worth thousands of dollars. But it can be a simple stack designed to hold wine bottles which can be stored in a wine appropriate place – either extra racking for your friend to use or something more ornamental which can display their most precious bottles for all to see.
Wine Tasting Experience
Days out are becoming increasingly common as gifts as they allow people to experience something that they want which they can add to their photo album. If you have a friend or family member who already has a wine cellar under their house, and has a range of personalized corkscrews, then why not get them a wine tasting experience or a visit to a vineyard?
This will allow them to learn more about the thing that they love and if you buy enough tickets, you can go with them making it a fun day out too!
Wine Making Set
Wine-making kits are becoming extremely popular, allowing more people to make wine in their own homes and to find out more about their hobby. Best of all, wine-making kits are not pricey, so you can give them a gift that they want without breaking the bank. A variety of equipment is required for winemakers such as a corker, siphon and acidity tester. You can also explore high-quality wine bottle corks for sale to ensure any homemade wine is perfectly preserved and ages as it should.

I like the customized bottles idea. My sister loves wine and I think she would get a kick out of having customized bottles.

My Aunt and Uncle love wine. They travel up and down our state tasting wine. I bet they would love to travel to another state on a tasting adventure.
