If you are in need of a gift for the wine lover in your family and want to purchase something other than just a bottle of their favorite wine, you may find some of these suggestions for unique wine gifts very helpful.

One great idea is a rolling cooler wine picnic basket with wine glasses, cheese, cutting board, utensils and their favorite wine. For red wine lovers, special decanters made of lead-free hand blown glass are not only unique in appearance, but are made from mineral deposits which are free from impurities as opposed to the classic crystal decanters.

Although most wine connoisseurs will likely have several bottle openers, special corkscrew gift sets which include such things as a thermometer for measuring wine temperature, stainless steel pourers, drip rings and foil cutters can make unique wine gifts.

Specially made wood wine racks for the wall or table are also a great idea with hand carved designs such as scroll work or special motifs. All of these items are available on websites such as Amazon.com where you can also browse a huge selection of many unique wine gifts to find the perfect one for any wine connoisseur.
