The Hottest Wine Accessories You Might Not Know About

Written By: Matthew Apsokardu on Thursday, June 19, 2008

Got all the gadgets and wiz-bangs there are to get? Maybe not.

All anyone really needs to enjoy wine is a glass, a corkscrew, and a bottle. But what fun is that!? There are some really neat accessories out there that can enhance your wine experience. Here are some fun ones that might just change your outlook on wine.

Wine Saver Concerto by Vacunin - What happens when you open a bottle of wine but don't have enough people or willpower to finish the whole thing?

Do you let it sit out on the counter for a couple of days before finally throwing it out? Shame on you! There is a perfectly good solution to this problem in the Wine Saver Concerto. Instead of vainly trying to recork the bottle, trapping air inside with the wine, use this vacuum marvel to suck it out and seal the bottle.

Vino2 Wine Glass - This sweet glass makes normal tulip glasses feel shame at their inadequacy. High quality glass is augmented by a patented agitation indentation. The point of this bulge is to decant the wine as you swirl the glass by breaking the wine's surface and causing more air to come into contact with it. Friends may ask you if your glass has been melted in some strange accident, but you'll know what's really going on.

The Lover's Basket - This is a great gift basket, especially if you happen to know someone who loves both chocolate and wine (and I certainly hope you do know someone like that). Pinot Boutique provides its trademark chocolate wine sauce along with chardonnay brittle, fine chocolate, and chocolate smarts trivia.




Soiree Decanter - The Soiree decanter is so hot that it even received its own video. Soiree has put real time and thought into developing this sucker. With strategic indentations that decant much like the Vino2 glass, the Soiree can be trusted with any bottle that needs a little extra aeration. With snug fitting rubber stoppers you can even turn the bottle completely upside down and the Soiree will remain firmly in place.

Oenopull - Green Apple - It's time to add a little spice into your corkscrewing with the Oenopull. Utilizing rabbit technology, the Oenopull makes removing corks a breeze. But instead of doing it the boring way, throw in a little color and zest. The Oenopull also comes in a ready-to-please gift box. Remember earlier when I said 'all you need is a corkscrew, a bottle, and a glass'? Well here is the corkscrew, now go get em.
