Amazing Christmas Gift Ideas for Wine Lovers

Wine is an excellent gift to be offered on any occasion: from an intimate reception to the celebration of important events. There are several different related wine gift ideas that you can offer. Any person receiving a wine bottle will always be charmed by the gift.

Below are a few wine gift ideas:

- Include a pot of Wine Jelly in a wine gift basket

If you plan to offer a Christmas gift to a fine gourmet, wine jellies are a good idea. Wine jellies (made with red, rosé or white wine) are used to create succulent sauces or simply putted on bread like jam. Wine jellies also enhance the taste of a fruit pie.

Here is an example of a Christmas gourmet basket:

A bottle of Sauterne or sweet Bergerac, foie gras (fat liver), wine jellies, flavored oil, balsamic vinegar, a recipe book...

- Personalized wine bottle

Several entreprises offer the opportunity to acquire personalized champagne or wine bottles. You can also personalize the bottle by yourself: name of your friend or parent, birth date, your Christmas wishes...

- Professional corkscrew

This kind of corkscrews do not damage the wine stopper which has sometimes the same or more value than the wine and the bottle. Corks can sometimes be very hard to remove, so a professional corkscrew will leave the stopper intact.

Some corkscrew have an optionnal engraved monogram and manufacturers create professional corkscrew decorated for Christmas.

- Crystal wine glasses set

Crystal is delicate and is an excellent way to enhance the wine you offer to drink. Crystal glasses also add a touch of luxury to your table.

There are several crystal factories such as Val Saint Lambert (Belgium), Murano (Italy), Baccarat (France)...; which are expensive but there are also less expensive crystal glasses available on the market. They are cheaper because they do not meat the crystal criteria but are as beautiful as the real crystal glasses.

If your Christmas gift budget is very large, offer a set of 30 crystal glasses including: 6 red wine glasses, 6 white wine glasses, 6 water glasses, 6 champagne glasses and 6 port glasses.
