Holiday Gift Ideas for Wine Lovers
Are there a few wine lovers on your holiday shopping list? While it's always easy to buy a few bottles of wine for your friends and relatives who enjoy wine, you might want to consider expanding your horizons when it comes to selecting gifts for wine enthusiasts.
Books for Wine Lovers
There are many excellent books that wine lovers are sure to enjoy. There are numerous books about wine, as well as cookbooks designed to help people learn to cook with wine or make foods that go well with wine, as well as books designed to teach people how to pair foods and wines with each other for maximum enjoyment.

Each superb truffle in the collection is infused with the flavor of wine grapes from the best regions for growing grapes throughout Sonoma County.
Wine of the Month Club
Rather than giving a bottle of wine at holiday time, consider enrolling your friends or relatives who enjoy fine wine in a wine of the month club the next time you're looking for a holiday gift idea. There are many options for these types of clubs, each of which involves monthly deliveries of one or more bottles of wine to the recipient. Instead of sharing a single bottle at holiday time, this gift idea allows the recipient to enjoy an ongoing gift throughout the year.
Wine Storage Solutions
If you have friends or relatives who pride themselves on their wine collections, you may want to consider a wine storage solution gift idea. Wine racks are useful and attractive gifts that can be used to store and display wine as well as serve as decorative elements in the home of the lucky gift recipient. Before selecting this type of gift, it's a good idea to find out how the recipient prefers to store wine in his or her home, to make sure you aren't purchasing an item that isn't likely to be used.
