Wine Presents
Have you got a wine buff in the family, or maybe one who's a friend? Buying them presents that they'll enjoy makes sense. If you're running out of ideas then don't worry - you've come to the right place!
So what are you going to buy them? Here are some great suggestions to get you started!
A corkscrew
It's obvious really, but it's pretty difficult to open a bottle of wine without having one. If they're already big fans of wine drinking, then they probably already have one. Maybe you could buy them an improved version. There are some really professional products available for home use these days, so that could be a good starting point.
Boutique wines
You may already have considered buying them a bottle of wine. Finding something at the supermarket could be one option, but how about using a little more imagination and finding something rather more unique? Wine Hound offer some excellent deals on more unusual, boutique wines.
Glasses
You can never have too many wine glasses! The best ones are clear, rather than novelty alternatives. That's because clear, transparent glasses are best for observing the wine's characteristics before taking a sip.
Vineyard tours
How about buying them a tour of a vineyard? This will allow them to sample a wine direct from the producer. You don't need to head overseas to do such a tour - there are number of vineyards here in the UK. Alternatively, Vinopolis offer wine experiences - you can visit them in London. That's a great chance to offer a wine tasting experience as a present - you can even make bookings online.
Wine books
They may think that they know plenty, but there's always plenty more to learn. How about some books on specific wines?
Vines
Most wine fans would enjoy the chance of trying to grow their own grapes. Some grape varieties associated with wine production will actually grow pretty successfully here in the UK - Pinot Noir is a good example - you can buy a vine and get it delivered direct.
