Really Unique Gift Ideas for Wine Lovers
Ask any wine lover, choosing a great bottle is only the first step. Not sure what to buy the wine aficionado who has everything? From a high-tech solution to ensure every glass poured tastes fresh to a stylish insulated cooler backpack ideal for camping, we've got gifts that'll make every hour happy.
Coravin

If you're shopping for a tech-loving wino who doesn't always want to finish an entire bottle, check out Coravin ($149.95), a device that allows you to pour a glass of wine without removing the cork. Here's how it works: A small, hollow needle penetrates the cork and allows you to fill a glass, then the device tops off the bottle with argon gas which preserves the remaining wine and prevents oxidation. Pretty nifty, eh? This is a great gift for wine enthusiasts and oenophiles who want to splurge on a pricey bottle and nurse it over time.
Stemless Aerating Wine Glasses

Aerating wine is an important step that "wakes up" wine and helps it taste its very best, and these aerator glasses ($50 for two) help you aerate wine in style. To use, simply pour wine into the central reservoir and watch your glass turn into a vino fountain. You'll maximize the flavors in your favorite merlot and create a show that's sure to impress.
Travel Wine Glasses

Glass by the pool is a big no-no, and drinking wine out of a plastic cup simply will not do, so consider treating your favorite wine lover to a travel wine glass ($25). Picnics, pool parties, beach days ... the possibilities are endless.
