1. Coravin 1000 Wine System

Coravin 1000 Wine System

Price: $450

Savor your finest bottles of wine with this complete system. 

Do you have a friend who can’t finish a bottle of wine after opening it? Now the finest bottles can be savored. The technology behind the Coravin System allows you to pour a glass of wine while keeping the cork in the bottle. You insert a hollow needle into the cork to extract the wine; once the bottle is pressurized with argon, the wine flows through the needle and into your glass. When the needle is removed, the cork reseals itself and the bottle is as good as new!

2. Picnic Time Deluxe Eight-Piece Wine Accessory Kit

4. Sommelier Corkscrew

Sommelier Corkscrew

Price: $172

French sommelier Hervé Pennequin had the right idea when he came up with the Le Thiers Sommelier Corkscrew. 

This wine tool is especially designed for ease — it allows you to open bottles with corks intact. This particular corkscrew is also widely used in restaurants because of its ability to keep long or dry corks vertical as they are removed. The design of the corkscrew is in accordance with the regulations of the Confrérie de Tiè knives, used in the village of Thiers, France since 1582, where this very corkscrew is also made. This makes it the only tool of its kind with an appellation. You can get it in a leather holster in blond horn, wood barrel and stainless steel. There are many corkscrews out there but this is the only one you’ll ever need. After five to 10 corks, wine enthusiasts will master bottle opening thanks to its linear leverage effect.

5. Metallic Wine Glass Pens

Metallic Wine Glass Pens

Price: $8


Say goodbye to wine glass musical chairs with Name It Marker’s Metallic Wine Glass Pens.

Available in a set of four metallic colors, these markers ensure all guests at your next dinner party won’t forget which glass belongs to them.

6. Oopsmark Bicycle Wine Rack

Oopsmark Bicycle Wine Rack

Who needs a bike basket when all you really need is this mobile wine rack?

Another plus: Like the taste of fine wine, the look of this leather bike rack only improves with age!

8. Picnic Time Wine and Cheese Picnic Basket
