Who doesn’t love a delicious bottle of their favorite red wine or white wine? Rosé wine is especially popular to add in with other gifts or as an accent to a gift basket! If you know specific bottles of wine that a family member or best friend will enjoy, then it’s always a good idea to grab a few! They’ve most likely tasted it before and it’s a given they’ll love it for sure. No brainer!

If you aren’t quite sure which bottle they like, try a sampler pack with mini bottles of red wines and white wines that they can have fun tasting. You could also skip the guessing and give the gift that keeps on giving: a wine subscription! Wine subscription services (much like wine of the month clubs) will usually curate a few bottles and ship them out each month so they’ll always have something exciting and new to taste!

#2 A Nice Wine Key

A nice wine key with a wooden handle or maybe even monogrammed is an exquisite touch. You can find a pretty great selection online of different styles and brands that would make for a tasteful and useful gift. This wine opener by Kitvinous comes with a handy foil cutter and a dual hinge for thoughtful practicality and functionality.

For the stylish wine-loving friend in your life try this fun and colorful iridescent wine opener! It’s a great option as stocking stuffer for under ten dollars… How fun would that be matched up with an iridescent barware set? Otherwise, a sturdy wing style corkscrew makes a reliable and elegant choice.

#3 A Bottle of Bubbly

A bottle of sparkling or nice champagne is always on my list of thoughtful gifts. Especially with the New Year coming up. I can’t think of anyone who isn’t looking forward to toasting with some sparkle! I usually like to gift a bottle of something I’ve tasted and loved. Rosé champagne or rosé sparkling wine is always a trending favorite!

A well-priced bottle of Domaine Chandon never disappoints. It’s crisp, delicious, clean-tasting and usually sells for right around $20. If you’re looking for something a smidge more elegant, good ol’ Veuve Cliquot is always a winner. Prosecco is a delicious Italian sparkling wine that doesn’t fall too far behind either! So many choices, so little time…

#4 Automatic Wine Opener

This is such a great gift idea! I received one for Christmas myself and I found it very useful and convenient. I couldn’t believe I didn’t think of gifting it myself! I have loved every minute of having one of these. Not exaggerating!

These little gadgets seamlessly and easily open a bottle of wine with zero effort. This battery operated wine opener is a bestseller and runs on double A batteries so you can store in your kitchen or bar cabinets with no charging devices. A great choice for under $20.

#5 Glassware

I feel like nice glassware is always a thoughtful gift idea. A set of simple, elegant stemless wine glasses are always a go-to for me. These beautiful stemless wine glasses by Libbey have a hammered style base that almost appears like a crackled glass effect.

When the light shines through the glass, it casts a beautiful prismatic pattern on the table surface. This sophisticated set of glasses comes in a set of 8. A truly stylish and unique choice for the wine drinker who already has traditional stemware and may enjoy something modern and new.

#6 Wine Decanters

A wine decanter is another great wine-related gift for those who want to add that extra special touch to their wine experience. A wine decanter is useful for aerating new wines.

This, in turn, helps the wine to open up and enhance its flavor thereby improving the experience you have with the glass of wine you pour. This hand blown decanter is a simple yet elegant choice for under $30.

#7 Wine Insulator and Tumblers Set

This is a great choice for those of you looking for useful and unique wine gifts. This super handy insulated wine set by Brümate comes with a triple insulated bottle-shaped container that will hold all that delicious freshly-opened wine at the perfect temperature. The set also includes 2 matching wine tumblers that come in a beautiful metallic white pearl effect finish. A stylish and handy gift for wine lovers who take their sips out and about!

#8 Wine Stopper or Champagne Bottle Stopper

This is the ideal gift for the avid wine drinker who always has a bottle or two of something open. Friends and pours are always flowing between the fridge and the glasses so why not keep everything crisp and fresh while we’re at it? Wine stoppers are perfect for those of us who love to share wine or keep bottles open for tasting and entertaining.

This set of rose gold wine stoppers will keep your bottles fresh for up to 10 days. Choose in your choice of finish from gold to gunmetal for under $20 dollars. This useful champagne bottle stopper is a winner if you’re looking to gift a little stocking stuffer that will keep bubbly fresh for days!

#9 Iceless Wine Chiller

This nifty wine chiller by Huski will keep your bottles of wine chilled without any ice! Sounds like a bit of a magic trick, but the technology behind this award-winning wine chiller is actually the premium stainless steel and internal copper plating which improves thermal efficiency. I know what you’re thinking though. You have to put it in the freezer first, then wait, then use, right? Wrong.

The iceless design works right off the shelf. Just twist open, grab a cold bottle from the fridge and twist the lid to the cooler back on. Your champagne or wine bottle will be temperature controlled and chilled for up to 6 hours. A big favorite and a perfect gift for all your wine-loving friends who enjoy nice chilled wine bottles on the go.

#10 Coravin Wine Preservation System

This is always on my list of great gift ideas for the wine connoisseur. It’s seriously a professional level tool for any wine drinker who wants to pour just one glass or have a taste of something while preserving the rest for later. Especially useful if you have a collection of special bottles that you might want to simply taste but not pour out completely. This wine system lets you pour wine from your favorite bottle without ever opening it.

Say maybe on Monday you had a glass of Malbec and on Tuesday you’re feeling more like a bright fruity Pinot Noir… Well the Coravin wine tool will let you pour a glass while preserving the rest of the bottle perfectly.

A needle pierces the cork in the bottle and draws out the wine without letting any oxidation in. This keeps the wine delicious and drinkable for months and even years. The opening in the cork seals keeping the wine in perfect state.

I’m still loving my model one Coravin which I received a few years back. It works perfect every time and is one of the best wine gifts I’ve received to date.

#11 Wine Wearables

Lastly, I couldn’t end this list of Christmas gift ideas for wine lovers without a few recommendations on cozy wine-related wearables! For all your wine-loving gals and pals, you gotta throw in some cozy wine glass pajamas by PajamaGram.

Your list of festive wine-themed gifts would not be complete without a cute and funny Christmas wine t-shirt. My favorite is this fun holiday wine design printed on black that reads, “Dear Santa, Just Bring Wine!” Need I say more? As you might guess, my Christmas list usually looks a lot like that!
