10 Holiday Wine Gifts (That Aren’t Wine)
Charcuterie gift box
Charcuterie is having a bit of a moment and has become an easy dinner replacement. Gift the wine lover in your life a charcuterie box from VT Charcuterie to enjoy with their favorite glass of wine. They offer pre-made boxes for two to three ($30), four to six ($50), or six to ten ($100) people. Local pick-up and delivery is included in the Rutland area; outside the Rutland area is .50 per mile for delivery.
A wine aerator
Wine is the perfect drink for any occasion, and this accessory creates a smoother finish for peak enjoyment of your favorite glass. The aerator adds oxygen to the wine as you pour it, which enhances the flavor and softens the tannins in wine. See ya later decanter! The rubber stopper keeps you from spilling too. ($19.99, Vermont Kitchen Supply)
A wine bottle carrier
Wine is more fun when you have a stylish way to carry it. Pop a bottle of wine in the carrier, put it under the tree, and the wine lover in your life will be delighted. It feels luxurious and is made from merino wool and leather. ($39, Goodee)
Wine & cider mulling spices
Who doesn’t enjoy a warm glass of mulled wine on a cold day? Just add wine (or cider) to this tantalizing combination of cinnamon, orange, lemon, star anise, vanilla and spices for a warm and toasty winter treat. ($9.99, Stonewall Kitchen)
Fresh macaroons
We’re going to go out on a limb here and say that wine lovers also love chocolate. These chocolate-dipped macaroons are hand-made in Vermont and you can order them by the dozen or half-dozen. We can already see a holiday card that says treat yo’ self alongside these lovelies and a bottle of wine. ($15.00 for 12, Krin’s Bakery)
