22. Wine Cooler (non-electric)
Temperature is key when it comes to serving wine. And that’s why wine coolers make a perfect gift for wine lovers.
- Pick a marble wine chiller that keeps the wine cool even when it's out of the fridge.
- Or, gift your oenophile a double-walled wine cooling cup. The stemless wine glass with cooling gel keeps the wine cool for up to two hours after the pour.
23. Wine Subscription
What could be better than tasting new wines every month?
A subscription to a wine club like Winc would be an unexpected gift for a wine enthusiast! They would deliver a carefully curated set of bottles every month to their doorstep!
