Creative Gifts for a Wine Drinker

  • Wine Chiller

    • Delight a wine connoisseur with a wine chiller for times when she needs a bottle chilled quickly. If the recipient is treated to unexpected dinner guests or forgot to put a bottle of wine in the refrigerator prior to a party, she can slip it into a rapid wine chiller. A rapid wine chiller chills wine much faster than a refrigerator, is portable and can be easily displayed on a kitchen counter top or in a home bar. For convenience, wine chillers can also cool soda cans in a matter of minutes. To operate the wine chiller, add ice and water to the machine's chilling chamber and plug it into an electrical outlet. Include a bottle of the recipient's favorite wine with the gift as a thoughtful touch.

    Pizza-Making Kit

    • Give a wine enthusiast who also loves to cook everything he needs to make a pizza dinner that complements his favorite wine. The recipient can use the pizza-making kit to create any type of pizza, such as a white pizza with fresh basil, which pairs well with sparkling white wine or a pesto pizza, which complements pinot grigio. Look for a gourmet pizza-making kit featuring a pizza stone, a quality pizza cutter with a decorative hardwood handle, all-natural pizza sauce, a dough mix and jars of sundried tomatoes and black or green olives. Include a recipe book detailing creative pizza ideas and a wine-pairing booklet.

    Wine-Inspired Wreath

    • A decorative wine-inspired wreath makes a charming housewarming or holiday gift for a wine lover. The wreath can be used as festive holiday home décor or displayed year-round. Buy the wreath pre-made or create your own if you're crafty. For an elegant look, choose a wreath made with fragrant red and green eucalyptus, grapevines and accented with faux purple grapes. Create your own eco-friendly design by wiring wine corks together in a circular pattern to form a wreath. Accent the handmade wreath with sprigs of faux mistletoe, red jingle bells and a piece of decorative red or green ribbon for hanging.
