We here at Wine Enthusiast love to buy bottles of wine as gifts. It’s not only the perfect accompaniment to moodily-lit dinners for two or toast in celebration of a major life event (engagement, wedding, anniversary, you name it), a well-chosen bottle can also honor important cultural traditions and holidays.
Of course, the actual wine is only one component of a superlative wine-drinking experience. There are many other things to consider, from the vessel in which the wine is served to gadgets and tools that enhance the flavor of that wine. For those who want to make this year the most romantic Valentine’s Day ever, a wine-adjacent gift is sure to do the trick. We here at Wine Enthusiast have rounded up the perfect presents for wine lovers. From stunning decanters and professional-approved glasses to wine-theme attire, the items on the list below are ideal for showing that special someone how much you care.
