Timeless holiday gift ideas for wine lovers
If there are wine lovers in your family, there’s no shortage of gifts you can give this holiday. True wine lovers treat wine collecting, wine preservation, and wine storage as forms of artistic expression. It’s a lifestyle choice, and one that many are so invested in that they build a custom wine cellar for their home that they later fill with a wine collection.
If you have a family member who’s an enthusiast, a wine connoisseur or sommeliers, here are a few timeless holiday gift buying ideas for your artistic wine aficionados.
Coravin Wine Preservation Systems: extend the lifespan of fine wine
The Coravin Wine Preservation System is a favourite accessory among avid wine lovers. In recent years, Coravin wine accessories have become so popular that Oprah Winfrey selected the products to be among Oprah’s Favourite Things.
Coravin Wine Preservation Systems rely on argon gas capsules to help preserve wine after you open a bottle. Using your Coravin wine accessory, a small needle breaks the seal of a corked bottle, allowing wine to pull into the product that you can pour directly into your wine glass. The argon gas reseals the small pin in the cork, allowing you to save the rest of your bottle for another time.
This is an excellent product for when you’re hosting family or friends over the holidays. It gives you the capability to preserve expensive or your favourite wines after your guests go home. You can learn more about how to use the Coravin Wine Preservation System using our helpful guide.
Check out these amazing Coravin products available for the wine lovers in your life.
Coravin Timeless Six+
The Coravin Timeless Six+ is a popular product in the Coravin Wine Preservation System family.

It’s not only a great gift for your wine loving friend or family member, but it’s an excellent way to host your family over the holidays and preserve those precious bottles well into the new year.
The Coravin Timeless Six+ is accentuated by metallic accents and premium accessories that make it the perfect gift for hosts, connoisseurs, and tastemakers who have a true passion for wine.

Wine lover stocking stuffers
You don’t always buy big gifts for everyone in your family. In most cases, a simple stocking stuffer can bring just as much delight.
If there are wine lovers in your family who will appreciate a great stocking stuffer, there’s no shortage of wine-themed gifts to choose from. Here are a few wine-themed stocking stuffer gift ideas you can share this holiday season.

The Oeno Motion Wood & Black exudes charisma and style. Layered with a black matte coating, the corkscrew’s curved shape and powerful jaw make every bottle opening a smooth, effortless movement.
Combining strength and finesse, the Oeno Motion Wood & Black is the perfect way to top off a stocking for your beloved wine connoisseurs this holiday.
Introductory wine aroma kits
If you have family members who are new to wine or wish to develop a more refined palate, a gift that explores distinct aromas in specific wines is a great stocking stuffer. The Nez du Vin - 6 Wine Aroma Intro Kit includes 6 major aromas present in many wines:
- Grapefruit
- Pear
- Raspberry
- Blackcurrant
- Violet
- Toast
Master the refinement of wine tasting by learning to distinguish these signature aromas in popular wines. When your family gets together for next year’s holiday, test how much more refined your loved one’s wine palate has developed.
New Year’s preparation with the Bubble Indicator Stopper
L’Atelier du Vin is one of the most world renowned brand names in the wine industry. They manufacture some of the most noteworthy and celebrated wine accessories on the market.
One of their lesser known products is the Bubble Indicator Stopper. This is a premium wine stopper that’s specially designed for champagne or sparkling wines. The stopper seals the open bottle in between servings and prevents spillage.
Since New Year’s Eve is only a week away from the big family gathering, a Bubble Indicator Stopper is an excellent stocking stuffer gift. It can be put to good use at the end of the year when the champagne and sparkling wines start flowing.
Cork and stainless-steel bottle holder
Here’s a great gift you can put directly to use at the holiday dinner with the family. This Cork & Stainless-Steel Bottle Holder is designed exactly as the name implies—a stainless-steel coaster with an exterior wrapped in cork.
The exterior cork is uniquely designed. It can get wet from condensation or spillage, and the cork retains its integrity in perpetuity. Simply wash and clean the exterior to remove surface dirt or dust, and you’ll always have a pristine showcase for your wine bottles at dinner.
Cigar accessories
Finally, for the wine lovers in your family who also cherish a good cigar, add a compact Caseti Deep Cigar V-Cutter to your stocking stuffer list. The sharply designed cigar cutter cuts any cigar perfectly. Sit back with a good stogie and cherish a fine wine.
With these thoughtful wine-related accessories, you’re sure to find the perfect gift for the wine lover in your life this Christmas.
