Holiday Gift Guide Post #5: The Wine Connoisseur


Well our holiday gift guide is getting close to complete – just three posts left! So today we’re tackling one of the most difficult gifts of all – the wine lover’s gift. Wine lovers are typically REALLY picky and judgmental about wine – and since there are rarely any bottles that satisfy every taste (at least not within our gift guide budget), it can be an uphill battle trying to buy a bottle for a holiday (or housewarming) gift.

Now, while those of us here at Yak certainly love wine – we’re not exactly “wine connoisseurs.” So instead of trying to pick out the perfect bottle, we’ve got two great wine lover gifts that are alcohol-free and sure to suit every taste!

  1. RSVP Endurance Stemless Wine Glasses

These super-modern stemless wine glasses are actually made of stainless steel. Sounds (and looks) bizarre but they are definitely trendy right now. Stainless steel “glasses” are also extremely durable and environmentally friendly, unlike some plastic alternatives which can leach chemicals into the water or wine – YUCK! Find them on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/RSVP-Endurance-Stemless-Wine-Glass/dp/B004TGTYVM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1319062440&sr=8-3. You can also get them in traditional, goblet and mug style.

  1. Wine Charms

For the wine lover that’s also a frequent host or hostess – wine charms are the perfect gift. These cute little charms hook onto the stem of a wine glass and help party-goers identify their drink. They come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, and at www.wineglasscharms.com, you can actually create your own set. Wine charms are a great DIY gift as well – you can make them at home with a couple of trinket charms and stiff wire.

Happy crafting!
