How to choose

Getting a wine gift right is easy if you think about how that person enjoys wine: do they share it at parties, taste it calmly or collect it?

Beautiful pieces that also get used

I like giving things that stay on display: a marble and acacia board for cheese, a pourer with a bird that sings as you pour, or a big Champagne bucket for New Year’s Eve dinner. And for anyone who opens great bottles at leisure, the Coravin Timeless Three+: it pours a glass without uncorking and the rest keeps for months.

Want it all sorted by budget? Have a look at Christian’s gifts 2026.

Looking for a bottle as well? In Gifts by budget I combine wine, accessory and book.
