If there’s a passionate group of booze drinkers out there, it’s wine aficionados. There are the “rosé all day” gals who sip on the pink drink solely for the Instagram caption. Then there are the amateur tasters who spend their free time swishing and sniffing wine in their glasses, the internet’s favorite “wine moms,” and the guy who thinks liking wine is his best personality trait. From casual drinkers to sommeliers, wine lovers of all kinds (Snoop included!) are dedicated to consuming those fermented grapes.
When buying a gift, your first instinct might be to gift the wine connoisseur in your life a nice new bottle of vino for the holidays. And that’s cool. It just doesn’t show quite as much forethought as a good gift entails. Instead, give them something more thoughtful and unique, such as wine accessories and decor.
Below, we’re sharing the best wine-inspired gifts for every wine drinker you know. Products range in price, but everything listed is under $150… except the editor’s pick.
Coravin Model 3 Wine Preservation System
The Company Line:
Keep each glass of wine as fresh as the first with this Coravin Model Three wine preservation system. Patented technology lets you pour wine without removing the cork, saving the rest for later. SmartClamps easily attach and detach to the bottle and works on corked bottles. This Coravin Model Three system uses ultra-pure argon gas for long-lasting preservation.
Why It’s a Great Gift:
As much as they’d probably like to drink the whole bottle at once, it’s usually best to save half the bottle for later. This wine preservation system helps avid wine drinkers keep their daily glass of vino fresh, so the last drop of the bottle tastes as good as the first sip.

EDITOR’S PICK: Double Diamond Holiday Gift Set
Price: $225.00
The Company Line:
Each set contains 1 bottle of Double Diamond 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon and 1 Ruby by Double Diamond and Joe Doucet wine holder, wrapped in a gift box.
Double Diamond and designer Joe Doucet have come together to create the new Ruby by Double Diamond and Joe Doucet, whose engaging play with balance reflects the elegant balance of flavors present in Double Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon. In creating this limited-edition contemporary tabletop design, Doucet took inspiration from the brand’s alliterative Ds. The multi-functional home object envelops the wine bottle at a sophisticated angle when at the table for serving. While not in use, it serves as a statement design item on any table or shelf.
Why It’s a Great Gift:
A gift of wine might not be enough on its own. But wine and a ruby-red midcentury wine stand? That’s more than enough. Especially when the wine stand (or holder) in question is as cool as this one and created by a legendary designer. It’s the perfect combo: the gift that keeps giving (the stand) and the gift to enjoy right away (the wine itself).
The Double Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is a beloved bottle that really is all about balance — you get a lot of stewed and deep red fruit (blackberry and more) some great minerality and a silken mouthfeel. There are clear tannins but they don’t overpower. It’s a perfect “intro to really high-quality wine” bottle for someone who likes reds.
I paired a bottle with steak and a blackberry reduction, which complimented the dark fruit notes of the wine.
Bottom Line: For the stylish friend with a lot of subway tile in their kitchen. This red holder will offset the white dramatically.
