Here's the bad part about shopping for a wine lover: They can actually tell when the wine you're giving them was picked up from the supermarket on the way to their place. Luckily for you, there is so much more you can buy for your favorite oenophile.
If you have a friend that recently turned 21 or a relative that is obsessed with wine, you'll want to gift them something worthwhile that they don't already have laying around their kitchen or bar cart. That's where this list comes in. The gifts we've rounded up are unique, sure, but also very useful. Think items like adorable glass tags, DIY cork decorations, and a totally customizable wine club membership to make sure they always have a bottle they like on hand. There's something to please everyone—your wife, your mom, your bestie, wine newbies, and snobs alike.
This can be purchased in the shape of any of the 50 states—maybe your home state or the one with your favorite wine region. Suddenly memories from your favorite nights spent over a bottle of wine become artwork.
If you don't know what your gift recipient likes to drink, let them choose a few bottles on their own with wine subscription. Winc offers gift cards in amounts that translate to one, two, or three months worth of wine deliveries. Members can fill out their own wine profile to get bottles they'll love.
There are few things better than a glass of white wine at a perfectly chilled temperature. These cups ensure you'll never have to drink a room temperature Chardonnay again.
An insulated wine tumbler is great for taking your favorite wine on the go. With triple insulation, it'll keep your drink cool for nine hours, or hot for three hours.
Worry more about filling your glasses with wine than about having full hands with this bottle and glass holder. This caddy has a spot for your wine bottle and two convenient areas that your wine glass stems will fit right into.

When you're in need of a wedding present or a meaningful housewarming gift, these glasses will do the trick. The company's founder chose the name Estelle for her grandmother, who was a "jewel of a person" and always set the Sunday dinner table with jewel-colored glassware. Now a special someone in your life can, too.
As if you needed another reason to finish that bottle of wine, this kit puts your empty wine bottles to use. Once the bottle is empty and washed, you'll fill it up with water and plug the top of it with a soil capsule. Next, just add in some seeds and put it on the window sill. Soon enough, you'll have full-sized leaves of edible flowers or go-to herbs like dill and basil.
This wine rack holds five bottles (corks down, as they should be) and a dozen glasses with space on top for more. Bonus: It requires no assembly, so it's the least stressful furniture gift ever.
Reviewers rave about the InBooze Red Wine Infusion Cocktail Kit, and the appeal is obvious. All you need to do to create a delicious batch of sangria is dump the contents into a bowl with your favorite wine (and a little brandy, if you're feeling extra). You can get a white wine version, too.
