Top 5 Wine Gifts
1) Cool ID Tumbler - Set of 2
Say cheers to ceramic tumblers that keep beverages perfectly chilled. Submerge the tumblers in cool water to activate their natural cooling properties. This ceramic absorbs the water quickly, leaving the surface dry, so there’s no condensation, inside or out. Your drinks stay cool for hours. The matte surface is sophisticated and also acts as a chalkboard if you want to write on it.
2) Cupa Rocks and Coasters Set
Handblown crystal tumblers that will enhance your favorite spirit. Additional coasters fit each glass perfectly and feature a groove that keeps them stationary.
3) Slow Wine Pourer
A slow wine pourer is the best way to serve delicate and older wines. The Vacu Vin tool pours wine from the bottom of the bottle straight to the bottom of your glass slowly. This means there is minimal exposure to oxygen, which can zap freshness and affect taste. This slower method gives an aged bottle of cabernet sauvignon or Bordeaux the special treatment it deserves.
4) Premium Wine Making Kit
Craft a Brew partnered with some of the world's most respected vineyards to bring you a DIY home wine making kit that will make outstanding wine right out of the box. It is designed to allow customers to make the best possible wine in their own kitchen on their first attempt. The premium kit uses only high quality ingredients and includes everything you need to create great tasting wine.
