Looking for the best gifts for the wine lover in your life? Whether it’s for a special occasion or just to celebrate their love for wine tasting, these perfect gifts for wine lovers will delight any serious wine drinker. From wine accessories to practical gifts, this list covers all the essentials for a wine-loving friend.
Gift Ideas for Wine Lovers
Wine Folly Book
The Wine Folly book is an absolute must for wine connoisseurs. I had the chance to take a class with the author and also own the book. It’s like having an encyclopedia of tasting notes, wine regions, and favorite wines right at your fingertips.
This wine-themed book makes an excellent gift and looks great as a coffee table book. It’s ideal for any wine enthusiast who wants to deepen their knowledge of the wine industry.
Decanters
A decanter is a great gift for anyone who enjoys red wine or pinot noir. Decanters help aerate wine for an optimal wine-tasting experience. Here are two of our favorites:
- Solid Red Wine Decanter: We have this one, and it’s perfect for serious wine lovers looking for a practical gift that doesn’t sacrifice style.
- Elegant Entertaining Decanter: This is a great addition to any dinner party. It’s beautiful and ideal for sparkling wine or cabernet sauvignon, but be careful—it’s a bit fragile and hard to clean.
Decanter Cleaning Beads
Pair a decanter with decanter cleaning beads for a perfect wine gift. These beads make cleaning easy, ensuring that every wine connoisseur keeps their decanter in perfect condition. It’s a great idea for those who love good wine but struggle with the upkeep of their glassware.
Sulfite and Histamine Remover
This sulfite and histamine remover is a unique wine gift that’s perfect for anyone who loves red wine but finds it gives them headaches. You just add one to a glass or bottle of wine, and it helps reduce those negative effects. It’s an excellent way to make sure you can enjoy a favorite bottle without any discomfort. My mom gifted me these and they really do make a difference!
Zbiotics Pre-Biotic Drink
My husband swears by Zbiotics before drinking wine. It’s a pre-biotic that helps your body process alcohol more effectively, making it a great addition to any wine enthusiast’s routine. It’s perfect for outdoor events or a dinner party where you’ll be enjoying a variety of blends.
Wine Region Puzzles
These wine region puzzles are a fun gift for anyone who loves both wine and puzzles. They’re high quality with a luxurious matte finish, and the pieces click together beautifully. I have Spain and Italy and I absolutely love these puzzles.
A perfect wine-adjacent gift for the wine lover who also enjoys a wine-themed book or a glass of pinot noir.
- Italy: A great way to explore one of the world’s best wine regions.
- Spain: Perfect for learning about red wine and sauvignon blanc.
- France: A wonderful wine-tasting journey through a classic wine region.
- California: Celebrate some of the best bottles from Sonoma, Napa, and beyond.
- Champagne: Great for those who enjoy sparkling wine and cava.
Marble Wine Chiller
A marble wine chiller is both classy and functional, keeping your white wine at the perfect temperature. It’s an ideal practical gift for anyone who loves to host outdoor events or simply enjoys a cool glass of chardonnay on the dining table.
Yeti Insulated Wine Tumbler
For wine lovers on the go, the Yeti insulated wine tumbler is a great gift and a best seller. It keeps wine at the right temperature, is available in various colors, and comes with a leak-proof lid. It’s perfect for outdoor events, picnics, or just relaxing on the patio. I have a different brand’s wine tumbler (which I don’t recommend because the lid has started leaking!) and I can vouch that this is a super practical gift (and that Yeti’s lids don’t leak).
Customizable Wine Tote
A customizable wine tote makes a special gift that’s perfect for carrying a favorite bottle to a restaurant, dinner party, or holiday gathering. The beautiful leather design adds a personal touch, making it a unique wine gift that any serious wine drinker will love. We received one of these as a gift and it’s a beautiful way to present a bottle.
Coravin Wine Preserver Set
The Coravin wine preserver set is known as the gold standard for preserving premium wine. It’s perfect for keeping favorite bottles in perfect condition over time. A perfect present for the serious wine lover who wants to enjoy their favorite wine without having to finish the entire bottle in one sitting.
Wine Glass Appetizer Plates
These wine glass appetizer plates are all over social media, and for a reason! They make an excellent gift for anyone who loves to host. They attach to a stemmed glass, making it easy to hold both good food and good wine at the same time. It’s a great way to enhance any wine-tasting experience or dinner party.
Picnic Tote
This gorgeous wine and cheese tote is the perfect practical gift for any wine enthusiast who loves outdoor adventures. With convenient straps for easy carrying, it’s ideal for picnics or outdoor events where you want to enjoy your favorite wines with some good food.
It’s designed to hold a bottle of wine and all your picnic essentials without taking up too much space, making it a great gift for wine lovers looking for a stylish way to enjoy their wine experience.
Backpack Tote
While a traditional picnic basket is picturesque, this backpack tote is the perfect way to bring along your favorite bottle if your picnic spot requires a bit of walking. It’s infinitely more practical and offers hands-free carrying, leaving you with an easy way to enjoy outdoor events or even a trip to the local shop.
It’s an excellent gift for wine-loving friends who appreciate a wine-adjacent gift that’s both functional and stylish.
Wine Glass Charms
These wine glass charms are a unique wine gift that’s perfect for anyone who loves to entertain. I love them because they can be customized, allowing you to change up the colored tassels for different holidays or special occasions.
They’re a great addition to any dinner party, making it easy for guests to keep track of their glasses and enjoy their favorite wines without confusion. An affordable and thoughtful gift that any wine enthusiast would appreciate.

Wine Club Memberships
A wine club membership is a perfect gift idea for those who want to explore a variety of blends. I’ve been a part of several wine clubs and can recommend Chateau St. Jean in Kenwood, CA, and Delille Cellars, Chateau Ste. Michelle, and Fidelitas in Washington. Wine clubs provide curated selections delivered straight to your door, offering an excellent way to try new favorite wines without leaving home. They also have in-person perks if you’re visiting their winery or tasting room, so it can be a great way to pair wine with travel! It’s a perfect wine gift for serious wine drinkers and casual enthusiasts alike.
Electric Wine Opener
An electric wine opener makes a great wine gift for anyone who loves ease of use and a sleek design. It’s especially handy for those who host regularly and want a quick way to open a bottle of wine without fuss. A practical gift that any wine enthusiast will appreciate. I’ve had this one since 2017 and it’s still going strong almost 8 years later!
Wine Preservation System
The Coravin Pivot is a wine preservation system that’s an excellent choice for keeping a great bottle of wine fresh over time. It’s a great idea for serious wine lovers who want to enjoy their favorite wines without worrying about wasting any. Perfect for extending the life of high-quality bottles.
Stemless Wine Glasses
Stemless wine glasses are a best seller for a reason. They’re perfect for outdoor events, picnics, and more casual gatherings. Available in various colors, these glasses are a great way to add a touch of style to any wine-tasting session. They also take up less space in the living room or dining table compared to traditional stemware.
What I love about these Reidel glasses is how thin the glass is at the rim, which gives you the perfect amount of air and wine to enhance the taste when it hits your tongue.
Wine Gift Basket
A wine gift basket is a thoughtful gift that can include everything from bottles of wine to wine accessories like wine charms, bottle stoppers, and even olive oil for a dining experience. It’s a perfect present for any wine-loving friend who enjoys trying new wine experiences.
