For the Wine Lover

Riedel Fatto a Mano Wine Glass: This collection from Riedel is the ideal gift for that wine lover on your list who appreciates a fine glass of wine as much as statement-making art. Customizable hand-pulled stems in six different colors (green, yellow, blue, white, black, and red) and six bowl shapes (Champagne Wine Glass, Cabernet, Chardonnay, Riesling, Shiraz, and Pinot Noir), gifters can mix and match a collection or send an entire set in their recipient’s favorite color and varietal-specific shape. $100/glass, set of 6 for $540

Riedel M Series Decanter: These beautiful decanters are built for gentle decanting. More like best suited to aged red wines and young fresh whites. These unique shapes (inspired by antique Cognac bottles, and named for French wine regions) are a necessity for every bar cart or dinner party table and, at under $200 each, are an accessibly-priced Riedel decanter handmade of Riedel’s signature ultrathin, yet durable crystal. $190 each

Coravin Model Two Wine System: For the wine lovers who also enjoy technology, this Coravin Model Two System is the perfect gift. Coravin is great because you can drink the wines you love without ever having to open the bottle. Coravin features the perfect balance between elegant design and durable craftsmanship. Textured rubber grips and ergonomic lines, ensure a flawless experience with every pour. Includes 2 Coravin Capsules to pour up to 30 glasses of wine. $299.95/ system

Coravin Aerator: The Aerator by Coravin is a cool accessory to give to those who already have a Coravin system or to compliment the Coravin as a multi-part gift. The Coravin Aerator, designed exclusively to be used with your Coravin Wine Preservation Opener, is the perfect accessory to enhance the taste of your wine in seconds by mixing the right amount of air with the wine as you pour. Its unique design uses the system’s pressure to force wine through 24 carefully placed and sized holes. $69.95

Coravin Screw Cap: For the screw cap wines we don’t want to go bad in the fridge, Coravin has a solution for you! This makes a great gift in conjunction with the Coravin and will keep your wines protected and closed for up to three months. Imagine the possibilities when you have parties, friends, and family over. No longer will you have to consume all your screw cap wine within the week (unless you want too). $29.95 

Electric Sky Wine: Perfect for the wine lover who enjoys glasses on the go (not while driving) or outside. Take these perfectly portioned wine glasses with you anywhere! Sourced from a vineyard located in the Languedoc Roussillon region in the south of France, next to Provence, these wines make for fun gifts this holiday season! $12.99/set of 4

The Book Lover’s Guide To Wine: Under the careful guidance of his father, Patrick Alexander began drinking wine with his meals at the age of five. At the same age, encouraged by his mother, he began a lifelong love affair with books. The twin pleasures of wine and writing remained his passion for the next sixty-five years. The Booklovers’ Guide to Wine is based on his very successful wine class and blends Patrick’s passion for the culture and history of wine and his love of literature for the world’s great writers. A literary twist on traditional food and wine pairings, this book explores how great wines and great writers can be combined to enhance the enjoyment of both. The book describes the history of wine from the time of Noah to the birth of two-buck Chuck. It explores the significance of terroir and varietal, the differences between Old World and New World wines, and much more. $19.95
