This compact wine rack beautifully blends form and function. Made from warm-toned acacia wood, it holds up to eight bottles and looks great on a benchtop or tucked into a shelf. It’s ideal for anyone short on storage space but big on wine. The clean lines make it a stylish addition to any kitchen or dining area.
Barwise Set of 2 Twist Lock Wine Stoppers, $34.95
From Joseph Joseph, this is the perfect gift for wine lovers who savour their bottles. With an airtight and leakproof stopper mechanism, they keep wine fresher for longer and are super easy to use – just push down, twist and you’re done. A locking indicator even lets you know the wine is properly sealed. They come in a set of two with a smart design that works on most bottles. A small gift, but a very handy one.
Cocktail & Co Reusable Stainless Steel Ice Cubes, $19.95
For the wine lover who can’t stand a watered-down chardonnay, these reusable ice cubes are a game changer. Made from stainless steel, they chill quickly and stay cold without diluting the flavour. The set of six comes gift-boxed and looks just as good on a bar cart as it does in a glass. They’re also easy to clean and can be used again and again.
Mikkie 4-Piece White Wine Glass Set, $69.95
Because you can never have too many wine glasses. This four-piece set from Mikkie is modern, lightweight and unmissable in its two-tone design. The subtle shape works well for white wine or rosé and feels nice in hand. Matching coupe and champagne sets are also available.
Insulated Wine Purse, $49.95
Not many handbags can claim to fit a bottle of wine in them comfortably, but this does. Fully insulated, it comes in a choice of four styles (including leopard!) and it’s ideal for picnics, barbecues and all those BYO situations where you like to rock up in style. A clever gift for anyone who’s always the one bringing the drinks.
Set Of 6 Tropical Wine Charms, $19.95
If mixed-up drinks are commonplace at your gatherings (we know, it happens!), these fun little charms are the answer to your prayers. They clip easily onto the stem of almost any wine glass, giving every sipper their very own identifier. With the pineapples, flamingoes and palms involved, these gems scream summer entertaining and make fab Kris Kringle gifts too.
Anna G Corkscrew, $135
This iconic corkscrew is as much a talking point as it is a handy piece of barware. Shaped like a quirky little character, it adds a splash of humour to any bar setup and it comes in a choice of yellow, pink or blue. It’s sturdy, easy to use and makes opening a bottle feel like a bit of a moment.
Wine Simple by Aldo Sohm, $54.99
Written by a master sommelier, Wine Simple is a go-to guide for anyone wanting to learn more about the world of wine, without the snobbery. It covers everything from aromas and regions to pairing notes, all in an easy-to-understand and approachable tone. A great wine gift for beginners and budding experts alike.
Bordeaux Wine Decanter, $199
This hand-blown decanter is elegant, delicate and very, very French. Designed to elevate the wine experience, it aerates your pour while adding some serious table style. With a classic curved shape and a nod to vintage flair, it’s perfect for the wine drinker who already has the basics and wants something a little extra.
FAQs
Practicality and thoughtfulness are key. Go for items they’ll actually use, like stoppers, decanters or wine books, or choose something that adds a little bit of luxury to their home.
Not always – many great gifts don’t involve the wine itself. Focus on accessories or tools that suit all tastes, or aim for stylish storage solutions.
Absolutely. A beautiful glass set, clever gadget or a chic wine rack can be just as thoughtful (and much easier to wrap!).
Wine stoppers, charms or a great wine book make excellent last-minute options. Most are quite affordable, easy to find online or in major stores and don’t need much wrapping.
