10 Gifts to Wow the #WineLover In Your Life #Gifts

Top 10 Gifts Ideas for Wine Lovers

Shopping for yourself means different things to different people. According to one of my colleagues, “Shopping is my god-given right…It’s what I deserve!” To others, shopping for themselves can be like work. This is only magnified when it is time to shop for someone else and you have to discern their likes and/or dislikes. What if the person you’re shopping for happens to be a wine lover? What would a wine lover want? What would a wine lover need? Is there anything else, other than wine that would make a nice gift?

Drum roll, please….

Relax, you do not have to face this dilemma alone…We are here to help lessen the stress of having to shop for both yourself AND for others. There are certain things that shoppers need to consider. We have provided some basic questions to help you get started and we’ve also curated a great gift list.

Here is The Wining Hour’s Criteria to employ when gift-shopping:

1. Need-Ask yourself, What does this person need? What do they need, but don’t have?
2. Want-Ask yourself, What does this person want? What have they been mentioning?
3. Tastes-Ask yourself, What does this person like? What matches their personality, interest, hobby?
4. Decor-Ask yourself, What would go with their decor? Which color, which theme, which style?
5. Novelty-Ask yourself, Is this item unique? or Is this something I can just find anywhere?

Using that criteria, we have curated 10 wine items that will make great gifts for someone who loves wine. These items, which will suit a range of budgets and are not in any particular order, are what many people need and/or want, suits their tastes and decor and are unique:
