Without further ado, here are my top picks for wine-related gifts:

For the Art Enthusiast

Modern stripes of different kinds of wine on a canvas. — “Wine Legs” by Elysia Myers. A beautiful, modern way to appreciate wine varietals!

Elysia Myers Wine Art is not only one of my favorite Instagram accounts, but is also my top suggestion for a thoughtful, wine-focused gift this holiday season. Elysia specializes in painting with wine, and the masterpieces she creates are stunning! You’ll be surprised to see the countless shades of red, white, and rosé that Elysia features in her work, each of which give the paintings a unique, natural feel. Elysia has designs for both the modern art lover and for those who prefer more a more literal take on the subject. You can find Elysia’s online shop here. This gift is guaranteed to please any wine or art enthusiast on your list!

Wine splatters making up the shape of the state of California. — Another one of Elysia’s recent works. This one was particularly special to me because Elysia conducted a silent auction on this piece, and proceeds were donated to those affected by the California wildfires in November.

For the Big Spender

The wine gadget of all wine gadgets, the Coravin!

You may have heard of the Coravin Wine Preservation System, which is the latest technology to take the wine tasting world by storm. In short, the Coravin allows for wine drinkers to simply taste a sip from a bottle of wine without compromising the entire bottle. How? A small needle-like device pierces the cork, allowing for small quantities of wine to be poured at a time. Upon removing the needle, the cork reseals to keep your wine preserved.

Here's a little visual of how the device pours the wine. — Here’s a little visual of how the device pours the wine.

If you have a family member or friend who is an avid wine taster, consider splurging on the Coravin Wine Preservation System for them. They will love getting to experience a single wine at different stages of the aging process, or entertaining their guests with a personalized tasting experience!

For the Entertainer

Decanting wine allows the wine to "open" before it is served. It is basically a beautiful way to aerate and display your wine! — Decanting wine allows the wine to “open” before it is served. It is basically a beautiful way to aerate and display your wine!

There’s no better centerpiece for a dining table than a beautiful decanter filled with ruby red wine! Consider purchasing one for your friend or family member who loves to entertain. While prices range greatly depending on the quality of crystal used, it’s easy to pick up a decent decanter for under $50.00. Like this one! But don’t stop at the decanter alone…those things can be a pain to clean and store, so grab a couple accessories to make your wino’s life that much easier! This decanter cleaning set will solve all your problems after finishing your bottle of red, and this inexpensive drying stand will keep your decanter clean while it is stored away!

These flexible wands make it easy to clean your decanter, and the stainless steel beads will wipe up all the stains in hard-to-reach places.

Store your decanter upside down when not in use to prevent dust from building up inside.

For the Mad Scientist

This all-in-one set gives you all the tools you need to make wine. Plus, you get access to a customer service hotline in case you need to troubleshoot a problem!

If experimentation is more up their alley, consider buying your resident wino a Home Wine Making Kit like this one. While they will need to supply their own grapes or concentrate, this all-in-one kit provides you all the other essentials to make your own wine. Will it be as great as your favorite bottle? Maybe, maybe not. But your friend or family member will surely be able to better appreciate all things wine-making after the DIY experience!

For the Trend Setter

These edgy glasses are sure to be showstoppers!

Today’s household style is all about clean, modern lines. So, why not echo that style in your wine glass? If you’ve got someone in your life who loves to keep up with the trends, gift them with these modern wine glasses. Their eye-catching shape is sure to stand out and impress a crowd! Better yet, they look great with red, white, rosé or sparkling wine inside.

Bonus: Stocking Stuffers for Wine Lovers!

These inexpensive items will surely make any wine-lover happy when they pull them out of their stocking!

- This Champagne Sealer is a game-changer. Now, you can sip on a bottle of your favorite bubbly over the course of a few days! I bought one of these sealers a couple years ago and love it. It’s easy to use and a “must-have” for anyone who enjoys a glass of sparkling wine!

Forget those old-fashioned wine charms, these beautiful Swarovski Crystal Magnetic Wine Glass Charms are the newest way to keep track of your sip this holiday season. They work on both stemless and stemmed wine glasses, which make them much more versatile than your typical wine charms. You could even put them on a beer glass!

What an elegant way to set your glass apart from the rest!

No more negotiating where to place your glass of wine during your next bubble bath. This SipCaddy Portable Cupholder is just what you need to accessorize for the occasion!
