The Best (And Coolest) Gifts For Wine Lovers

(Forbes) - It’s time to start stressing about the perfect gift for the wine lover in your life. Allow me to save you some time, as I’ve been stressing since August, compiling this ultimate guide to cool wine things. This year’s compilation has a design theme—focusing mainly on artisanal decanters, space saving wine racks and just clever, trending concepts in wine.

If you know of something extraordinary that I’ve missed please comment and let me know. Cheers to many happy, surprised gift recipients in your life this year—and look for my actual wine gift guide in the coming weeks—a feature about which special wines you should consider for that special someone.

Private Client concierge wine service from Vinfolio

Vinfolio is a self-described collector’s marketplace offering an online shopping experience of smartly sourced wines we’d all like to have in our cellar. The Vinfolio team does all the hunting and sourcing for everything from collectable steals under $100 to a selection of Parker’s 100 point wines. That part is free for the lookin’, but what I love most about this site is the Private Client feature. Membership is by invitation only and requires a minimum of $10,000 spent on wine in previous calendar year as well as references from three current members.  Indeed, this gift requires some effort but for your trouble you’ll get priority access to the newest releases including: DRC, Harlan Estate, Château Rayas and Soldera; a dedicated Personal Sommelier available seven days a week and shipping anywhere in the world at no charge.
