We’re getting close to Christmas,
so you might want to start thinking about what gifts you’re going to buy. Are there any wine lovers in your family? If so, the
Ideal Wine Company is on hand to help you out; here are five gifts to get wine
lovers this Christmas.
Corkscrew
It may seem really basic. The
person you’re buying the gift for may already have one. But you can never have
too many corkscrews. If you’re working with a tight budget, buy your wine lover
a corkscrew – they’ll thank you the next time they're looking for one!
Wine book
If they're passionate about the process of wine making, why don’t you buy them a
book about it? Perform a quick Google search and you’ll soon see that there are
a tonne of wine-related book out there. We’d suggest you go for The Wine Bible by Karen McNeil – this
910-page tome is the best-selling wine book in the US!
Wine glasses
Wine glasses break really easily,
so if the person you’re giving a gift to is a wine enthusiast, they’re always
going to need new ones. Remember that the shape
of a wine glass matters, as it can affect the quality of the drink. Make
sure you buy the type of glasses that work best with the kind of wine the
person you’re purchasing them for likes to drink!
Decanter or aerator
Is the person you’re buying for a
fan of aged red wines? If so you might want to get them a decanter this
Christmas. You may also want to point them towards this Ideal
Wine Company blog post, so they know how to use it! If they prefer younger
reds you should get them an aerator instead, because you can’t really decant
them. The aerator mixes air into the wine, exposing it to oxygen and causing
the aeration process the vintage needs to shine!
Bottle of wine
The most obvious thing to buy for
a wine lover this Christmas is a bottle of their favourite tipple. You should
base your purchasing decision on their preferences – if they like dry reds, for
example, get them a dry red. The Ideal Wine Company provides a wide range of
stellar wines. If you purchase
the Chateau Petrus 2001 from us today, you’ll be able to give your loved
one a gift they’ll really treasure this holiday season!
