52 Wine Gifts That Are Better Than Just Another Bottle

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

We all know 'em. They swirl it, swish it through their mouth, and spit it out. Sometimes they throw it back (like normal people). These people—who we admire, love, and might even be—are wine snobs. While a person can never really have enough wine, trust us when we tell you that no matter how much they love a nice, old bottle, there are other great gift ideas that aren't just your high-priced red or white. Not to mention, grabbing a random bottle at the grocery store on your way over to their place probably won't make a lasting impression. (Even if the label is like, really cool.)

So, to do this holiday gift right, you'll need to think beyond the alcohol and instead dwell on the drinking accessories: The glasses, stemless glasses, the openers, the food that pairs with the wine, a fridge, and all that jazz. Check out the best wine-related holiday gifts for the wine snob in your life now.

Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Making Kit

Will this Cabernet Sauvignon taste as good as the kind you'd drop $30 on in the store? Absolutely not. Will it be fun to make? Unequivocally yes.

Wine Bottle Insulator

An 18-bottle wine fridge is likely outside your budget. It's kind of an aggressive gift, too. However, Vinglacé's double-walled, stainless steel shell will keep a bottle that's fresh out of the regular fridge chilled for the entire night.

12 Nights of Wine Advent Calendar

We love an advent calendar for the holidays, but that doesn't mean it's not a great gift year-round. Curated from prestigious vineyards by female wine experts, you can't go wrong. So, the Vinebox wine advent calendar it is.

Red Wine Lover's Collection

Murray's makes a plate of cheeses, chocolates, and spreads curated with the red wine drinker in mind. Not a damn thing to quibble about here.

Beaker Wine Glass

Portion control, eh? This beaker glass is sure to be unlike any other wine glass they have in their cabinet.

California Wine Mixer

Your giftee will be hard-pressed to throw away a single one of these eight miniature bottles, based on the eclectic artwork alone. And that's not to mention the attraction of these rarer, more challenging (in a good way!) wine samples that'll expand the palate.

Engraved Wine Bottle

In lieu of gifting someone their own vineyard—we know you would if you could—get an artist on Etsy to engrave their name into a bottle so it sorta looks like you gifted them a vineyard.

3-in-1 Wine Chiller

Once this chiller is cold, it serves three purposes: keeping the wine at the ideal temperature, aerating the wine, and corking a half-finished bottle for future enjoyment.

French Kitchen Marble Wine Cooler

Ok... a marble wine cooler is a really great gift. We gotta put another.

Silicone Wine Glass Holder

Forget shower beer. Shower wine is the pro-level move.

For a unique approach to gifting a wine accessory, go for an artsy, ceramic wine cooler. This is sure to be different from any cooler they have, and it's just 50 bucks.

Mulled Wine Cocktail Kit

The best part about the holiday season is mulled wine. This kit has all the tools and ingredients needed to perfect a delicious, decadent mulled wine cocktail.

Striped Ceramic Wine Glass

A gift that'll truly impress is this Obori Soma ceramic wine glass. It's unique, beautiful, and comes with luxe presentation in the form of a protective wooden box.

Not only are these chilling wands useful, but they're also beautiful. Having these accessories on-hand will make your wine-loving recipient feel like a true sommelier.

One Bottle Case

Everyone needs a Rimowa and so does their wine.

6 Bottle Mixed bundle

Firstleaf's Wine Subscription is a great gift, but if you're unsure about their specific taste, better to let them do that on their own. Alternatively, we suggest one of Firstleaf's pre-made gift boxes. You can choose white or red, but we like a mixed bundle. Something for everyone.

Stone Cold Marble Wine Chiller

Ok maybe they aren't tired of sleek and modern. If so, this is as good as it gets.

Hand-Blown Colored Wine Glasses

Gift a set of beautiful wine glasses to a newer wine drinker—like a recent grad—or anyone interested in refining their home decor.

Amadeo Wine Decanter

They probably have a decanter, but it's unlikely they have a sculptural Riedel decanter.

A sommelier wouldn't get caught without one, and your wine snob has probably wanted one for years. Added plus is the olivewood that gives it an ancient Mediterranean je ne sais quoi.

Pivot Wine Preservation System

Pembroke Champagne Coupe

But for any odd year, we like gifting coup glasses. Everyone's got plenty of red and white glasses... but few have a nice coupe set.

Keep your wine—and cheese—cool with this portable backpack. There's even a slot for a knife and cheese board.

"Big Macs & Burgundy: Wine Pairings for the Real World"

Bust open the world of wine with this guidebook to pairing beloved snacks—think General Tso's chicken and Sour Patch Kids—with great varietals. And that only touches on half of the high-brow, low-brow genius it divulges.

Vacuum Wine Sealers With Pump

Every adult, at some point, must cross the threshold between novelty wine sealers and actually-serves-a-purpose wine sealers. This set serves two purposes: refusing entry to oxygen, as well as vacuum-pumping out any air that does get into the bottle. So, fresher wine, for longer.

Wine Bottle Baked Brie

If the words "baked brie" don't tempt you—have you no soul?—then check out the wine bottle design that tops this gourmet pastry.
