Our friends at True Fabrications have sent over a few ideas that may make for some nifty Christmas gifts for the winos in your life. The staff at True are dedicated in bringing affordable, trendy food and beverage gadgets to the masses. Make sure to check out their website and browse their massive collection.
This is a new game from my friends over at Minglevine.com - available through True Fabrications and at some wineries in California. It’s a great, easy way to help folks get acquainted with their wine purchase. Included are some bottle wraps that let you more easily warp each bottle so you can taste them blind. You write in your comments on each of the four wines and share them with your friends.
This handy aerator sits right into the top of an open wine bottle and mixes air into each glass pour – very useful for when pouring for a lot of people who don’t want to sit around and for for a wine to decant.
Are you tired of pouring wine down the drain because you didn’t get to it fast enough? This gas-charged wine-saver kit is your solution then. If you have left-over wine that you want to keep fresh, then simply use this kit to fill the bottle with gas which eliminates the oxygen inside the bottle.
If your bubbles go flat and you wished they’d stick around longer, than consider a stopper like this one – while it’s called a “Champagne Stopper” – it actually can work for most any bottle of bubbly. It works by locking down on top of the bottle, thus not allowing any previous CO2 to escape.
This is the ideal gift for anyone who’s ever went to decant a wine, only to struggle to keep the sediment from going into the decanter – it has a built-in strainer to keep all those unwanted bits out and all the vino in.
Another way to save your wine is to simply pump the air out of the bottle – the advantage to this unit over the gas-charged system is that it’s cheaper, however, you can only use it on one bottle at a time. I’ve been using this for awhile now and it seems to work rather well.
Of course winos love cheese and this had got to be one of the handiest little cheese-sets I’ve seen. It has a bamboo sliding cutting board which reveals three different cheese knives – perfect for entertaining.
Here’s an easy way to make an impression with a chain-bottle holder. A great way to showcase a bottle of wine that means a lot to you in a quirky, fun way.
