10 Best Gifts for Wine Lovers in 2022 (Wine Sommelier-Reviewed)

Pros:

• Includes access to the wine course and videos, charts, tasting journals, and more
• Option to include wine glasses
• Reviewers say it's easy to follow 
• Both total newbies and experienced wine drinkers say they learned a lot

Cons:

• Doesn't come with wine
• The materials had a few glitches, according to a few reviewers

This tasting course takes difficult technical information about wine and explains it in a way that is unpretentious and easy to understand. It's for anyone interested in learning more about wine for business purposes, showing off your knowledge at a social gathering, or just wanting to know how to choose better bottles of wine.

Some felt that the course didn't follow a linear path and found that some videos would reference videos that they hadn't seen yet. But reviewers loved how engaging the video courses were and felt that the information was approachable and easy to understand and master. 

Pros:

• Choose a single letter or multiple to spell something out
• Lightweight, comes with screws for wall hanging
• Two sizes, 12 or seven inches tall
• Black or brushed metal finish

Cons:

• Corks can easily fall out if it gets bumped, but you can always glue them

These letters are a creative way to show off and keep your corks in one place. Every letter of the alphabet as well as an ampersand and heart symbol are available. The large "A" holds about 75 corks, and the letters are deep enough to hold them in place without gluing; just stack them up.

Some reviewers had difficulty standing their letters on a counter and note the corks could fall out easily if the letter wasn't full and got bumped. But many were glad that the hardware to put the letters on the wall was included, and they liked how the letters looked.

Pros:

• More than a simple cookbook; there's also plenty to read
• Suitable for both novices and those with some experience
• Covers buying, storing and tasting wine, has recommendations for producers of each type, includes a wine flavors cheat sheet, and more
• 75 recipes with history and facts about each

Cons:

• Some ingredients may be unfamiliar or hard to find locally
• Recipes may seem challenging to some cooks, but reviewers say the directions are very clear

If you're looking for a gift for a wine lover who also loves cooking (or eating), then this is a cookbook they'll enjoy. It not only has recipes with beautiful photos, detailed instructions and informative descriptions, but it's a crash-course in wine as well. Even those with some knowledge are bound to find useful new information.

Reviewers say the recipes are inventive and may put some home chefs out of their comfort zones. But they also say the directions and overall presentation of the whole book are easy to understand and highly approachable. They all seem to have a different favorite section, which is a good sign that the book can appeal to anyone.

Pros:

• Includes cordless electric corkscrew, foil cutter, and vacuum sealer
• Uncorks 80 bottles per charge
• Works on synthetic and natural corks with no breakage
• Cork releases at the push of a button

Cons:

• The main complaints from reviewers were about poor durability
• The vacuum sealer acts as the stopper, so you can only have one sealed bottle at a time

This set is a great gift for anyone who loves gadgets and is even better for a wine drinker who has trouble opening bottles manually. The electric corkscrew makes quick work of both synthetic and natural corks, is rechargeable, and is housed in a sleek stand. The base holds a foil cutter, and it comes with a vacuum sealer to keep opened wine fresh.

Although the majority of negative comments in reviews are that it broke down, far more buyers say it works great and makes opening bottles easy. They like that it's not overly noisy, and say the sealer keeps wine fresh for at least several days.

Pros:

• Keeps pre-chilled wine cool for over 90 minutes
• Cools room-temperature wine to serving temperature in 30 minutes
• Fits almost any standard-sized wine bottle
• Lightweight and perfect to bring on picnics
• Folds down to fit in your freezer

Cons:

• The bottom is open; when picking up the bottle, grab it by the neck, not the sleeve!

This wine sleeve is not super high-tech or stylish, although it is available in six bright colors, plus black. Where it excels is its functionality. It can maintain the temperature of chilled white wine, keep reds from overheating on hot days, and even cool a bottle to serving temperature if need be.

Reviewers say it absolutely works, but a few complain that it's awkward to use because the bottom is open and it's bulky. However, most agree those are minor quibbles for something that does its job so well.

Pros:

• Adds air to wine without needing to decant it
• Dishwasher-safe
• Reviewers say the aeration is really effective compared to other methods

Cons:

• The wide size makes them a bit hard to hold
• They're delicate, even for wine glasses
• Without a dishwasher, they can be tricky to clean

These wine glasses save the extra steps of breaking out a large decanter and having to clean and put it away after use. The central cell in this stemless wine glass aerates your wine as you pour, enhancing the taste and smell of the wine.

Some reviews mentioned that the glasses are quite large, and since they are stemless, they can be hard to hold. They do come in a stemmed version if you think that might be better. A lot of reviewers bought this as a gift, then liked it so much they repurchased for themselves!

Pros:

• Personalized; 10 designs and fonts available
• Four styles: wine stand, two- and four-glass bottle caddies, or sommelier presentation board
• Made from sustainably sourced bamboo in two finishes
• Option to add a handwritten note or board conditioning oil

Cons:

• Only one style works as a charcuterie board, and it doesn't have a lot of space for food

This handmade Sommelier Presentation Board has a stand to show off a bottle, with spots for four glasses of wine and some snacks. The stand folds down for compact storage. The board can be personalized, and there are other caddies available, so you can choose the option that fits your wine lover the best.

Overall, reviewers were very pleased with the item. The wine holder is versatile in that it can hold wine bottles of various sizes. Others were happy with the engraving of the personalization and said it looked perfect. 

Pros:

• Choose a monogram letter, large text, and optional small text
• Colored designs available on their Etsy site
• They also offer other fonts and glass styles; message them for details
• Dishwasher-safe

Cons:

• Sold individually, not a set

A personalized gift shows that you were thinking intentionally about the receiver, and this glass is suitable for any wine; although not the ideal shape for champagne. However, the company offers champagne flutes as well! You can also choose from many different options for fonts.

Overall, reviewers were happy with the sturdiness and quality of the glasses. Reviewers gifted these for occasions such as anniversaries, weddings, birthdays, and more.

Pros:

• Two sizes available that hold two or four wine glasses
• Choose metal or bamboo leg styles; both fold closed for easy transport
• Recessed surface keeps snacks from rolling off
• Also holds stemless glasses or cans

Cons:

• Some reviewers say the metal legs can be really hard to manipulate; consider the all-bamboo style if you're worried

This folding tray table is perfect for bringing wine and snacks outside. The table is designed to securely hold four glasses of wine and a bottle of wine or champagne. Because it can be folded, it doesn't take up much space to store and is easy to transport. 

Some reviewers found the metal legs to be difficult to maneuver, but most loved it for picnics, outdoor festivals, and even as a little table in bed. Several reviewers mentioned getting compliments from strangers about the table when using it in public!

Pros:

• Practical and thoughtful
• Works on fresh and old stains
• Nontoxic and safe for colorfast fabric

Cons:

• Make sure to do a spot test; it can discolor some kinds of fabric

This stain remover works on fresh and old stains on clothes, fabric, and upholstery. It promises instant results and is marketed to be safe for most materials, but exercise caution and make sure to follow the directions closely to avoid damaging fabrics. 

Some reviewers mentioned that their clothes lightened due to the remover. Most used the stain remover on white or light-colored fabrics and found it to be effective in removing even old stains that had set in. It also removed stains from things like sports drinks, markers, or pens.
