Best Holiday Wine Gifts for 2025 (Editorโs List)
1) Made In 12-Piece Glassware Set ($$) โ Essential wine gift for aroma & flavor

This 12-piece set covers all the bases. Enough elegant, lightweight stems for family dinners and New Yearโs toasts. Durable, balanced, and weeknight-dishwasher-friendly. Also, the price is right...no cringing when one inevitably breaks.
- Pair with: a premium bottle or your Holiday Reds & Whites
2) Coravin Timeless Six Wine Preservation System ($$)ย โ Keep opened wine fresh longer

Pour a glass without pulling the cork (important: only works with natural corks. You're wine lover will know what that means). The Coravin system uses a medical-grade needle and argon to displace oxygen, so your bottle stays fresh for years. Perfect for tasting flights, โjust one glassโ nights, and sampling special bottles without committing to the whole thing.
3) Riedel Veloce Wine Decanter ($$)โ Smooths young reds, softens tannin

The Veloce is beautifully modern and easy to handle. Its broad base accelerates aeration on young, structured reds (Cab, Syrah, Nebbiolo), while the narrow neck delivers a clean, drip-free pour. This works for any wine. Really the only decanter you need. The rest are for show.
4) Rocco "The Super Smart Fridgeยฎ" ($$$)ย โ Serious storage, compact footprint

Okay this is the trendiest wine fridge on the market and the price reflects that. Many fridges (like this one) can do the same job for less. But (big but) this is just cool! It's fashionable, and it's a piece that they'll want to show off in their home. Normal wine fridges are usually an eye-sore. You'll likely want this for yourself after clicking the link below...
5) Pro Sommelier Coutale Corkscrew ($)ย โ Under $25, works every time and lasts forever

6) Made In Champagne Saber ($$)ย โ For sparkling wine fans

Did you see the saber incident onย Emily in Paris?ย Most times this doesn't happen! This makes every wine lover feel 10x cooler for about 10 seconds.ย
7) TSA-Approved Wine Suitcase ($$$) โ Bring wine home from trips

With most country's becoming more lenient with wine and air travel, this suitcase is a must for any wine lover. Most wine-o's won't buy this for themselves so it makes the perfect gift. This also ups your chances that they'll bring home a bottle from wine country for you :)ย
8) Le Nez du Vin Aroma Training Kit ($$) โ Levels up the tasting skills

This is for the person who you really know is into learning about wine. I.e. the sommelier, or aspiring somm. This kit includes 54 scent vials (from blackcurrant to truffle), a training guide, and tasting exercises that sharpen one's sensory memory. Itโs equally useful for exam prep and it's also fun to have around at a party.
9) Out of the Woods Tote Bag โ Eco conscious wine bags

We just think this brand is really cool. Any will do as a gift to a wine lover. Many of their bags will work for wine or for anything that needs to stay cool and protected while it's carried from one home to another (or the park for a little picnic). The link below goes to Out of the Wood's homepage and that is where you will be suckered in to purchasing all of their bags ;)
10) Wine Folly Wine Maps Book, Wine Map Puzzles & Coffee-Table Books/Magazines ($-$$) โ Educational + giftable

All wine lovers loves to read and study about wine. Obviously. Any wine lover would swoon over these three/four things. For a fun book, we'd recommend this one. Click the links below to see our other educational content recommendations.
11) Wine Club / Monthly Subscription ($$-$$$) โ The gift that keeps pouring

You really can't go wrong with gifting a (set duration) wine club. Most clubs online are great. There are a few that you should steer clear of (e.g. newspaper sponsored clubs, winery wine clubs (unless you know their favorite winery))
A good wine club (like ours...hey we're confident...) allows them to discover new regions, compare varieties, and taste through a thoughtful rotation without the guesswork. Great tasting notes, food pairings, and seasonal themes keep the learning (and the joy) going all year.
12) First Class One-Way Emirates Flight ($$$$$) โ Memorable experience gift

The ultimate wine-adjacent splurge: a private suite, caviar service, and a world-class onboard wine program featuring prestige Champagne and legendary white and red wine. Itโs a once-in-a-lifetime tastingโat 35,000 feetโwith white-glove service from gate to gate. Yeah we know, this is insane, but it has to be on every wine lover's bucket list. So c'mon, be cool....
13) Harvest Wine Shop Gift Card ($-$$) โ $25โ$200

It's not that wine lovers are picky, it's just that they love to hunt for wine just as much as they love to drink it. So, let them choose the perfect bottle or accessory they've been needing. A wine shop gift card is always appreciated by picky (read: passionate) wine lovers.
14) A Bottle of Wine?! ($-$$$) โ $25โ$400

Buying a bottle of wine for your wine lover is the best option IF you REALLY know them. It's high stakes. If you nail it, they know you see them. If you don't, they'll wonder how much you've been paying attention to them. (Okay, they probably won't really care if you mess up and get a bottle that sucks. It still shows you know they like wine, and they can always re-gift or use it at a party.) Sometimes the classic move is the best one. Add a handwritten note for extra impact.
How to Choose the Right Wine Gift (Fast)
- Unsure of their taste? Choose a stemware set, a premium corkscrew, or a gift card to an e-commerce wine store so they can pick what they want.
- Do you know they host often? Pick a decanter, the stemware set, or the wine fridge. They need these in their hosting arsenal.
- They travel for wine country experiences? TSA-approved wine luggage is a slam dunk. They'll never buy it for themselves, but they know they need it.
- Are they expression interest in learning more about wine? Potential sommelier? Then the Coravin preservation system + aroma kit + fun maps = A+ grades when they take their CMS exams.
- Are they building a collection of wine? A dependable wine fridge protects every bottle and the Rocco fridge is the coolest on the market.
-
Are you the best (and richest) auntie in the world? A first class ticket on Emirates to Dubai (or any destination at least 10 hours away) will show them just how much you deserve to be the favorite auntie.
