Searching for a gift for the connoisseur in your life — whether they be grilling gurus, travelers, or coffee snobs — can be daunting. These experts know all of the ins and outs about super niche specialties and can be relatively intimidating, but perhaps the most intimidating of them all is the wine-o. Surely, you’re aware of how hard it is to find the best gifts for wine lovers when you, yourself, might not be the most knowledgeable on the subject. No worries, though. Our expert gift finders came up with a foolproof list that’ll impress everyone from the sommelier of the friend group to the person who’s always buying two-buck-chuck.
Our wine lovers’ gift guide includes everything from automatic bottle openers (a lifesaver), to tiered and rotating serving platters (complete with wine glass and bottle holders) to hilarious custom face cork stoppers (that are painstakingly designed to look just like your giftee — it’s wild).
Read on below for the best gifts for wine lovers. Everything is under $100, and some of our favorite finds are under $10. Cheers!
First thing first: If you’re looking for a wine gift you can give anybody from casual sippers to serious wine-o, this electric wine opener is it. It’s on sale for under $10 and makes opening a bottle so seamless.
Senior Editor Summer Cartwright owns this cheap gadget and says, “It’s so simple to use and makes wine nights easy, breezy, beautiful. Simply plop it on top of your bottle, press a button, and the cork is removed in seconds.”
Head’s up: If you’re gifting this, include a pack of AA batteries — it requires four of ’em and they’re not included.
