Wine Accessories Gifts

and make drinking wine more pleasurable. Wines come in many varieties with different
characteristics that are best enjoyed with the proper glassware. A set of these essentials is a good
place to start your quest for the perfect gift.

To enjoy wine to its fullest extent, the shape of the glass plays a very important role; helping to aerate
and concentrate the aroma of the wine. The wine glass you choose should have an adequate stem
length for proper handling. Although it is quite common for wine to be served in a wine tumbler or to
see people hold the bowl of a wine glass, they forget that wine needs to “breathe” and the heat of the
hand can affect the taste of the wine.

Many people shy away from purchasing wine glass stemware because they have concerns about
breakage. Today there are many manufacturers who are using technology and titanium instead of lead
to design wine glasses that are stronger than crystal making them incredibly break resistant with a
stem that actually works better to aerate the wine.

button, and the cork is removed instantly without any effort. Most of these corkscrews are designed to
t work on any type of bottle, including those with “flange-tops.” Corking/uncorking machines that come
with their own stand or can be table mounted are also very popular.

You may be familiar with wine decanters, many people think they are used as decorative ways to hold
wine. While wine decanters make lovely dining table centerpieces, this wine accessory gift actually
serves a more important purpose: decanting improves the taste of wine by removing the sediment that
naturally occurs in wine, particularly the red variety and it also helps to aerate the wine.
