It calls out some of the most well-known wine varieties, including Sangiovese and Pinot Grigio and a lot in between. The calligraphy is really beautiful, and transforming the names into a glass of wine is a fun way to add wine-themed decor to any wine lover’s kitchen.
It doesn’t come framed, but since it’s a standard size, it won’t be difficult to find a frame for it!
So many wine lovers will love this, but it’s especially perfect for someone who recently moved to a new place. Pair it with a bottle of wine to share and help them hang it!
2. Wine Check Luggage
What is better than traveling somewhere and bringing home some of your favorite wines from the region? This carrying case makes that much easier. It holds up to twelve bottles of wine in safe styrofoam compartments. They won’t bang against each other, so you won’t have to worry about any of your precious bottles breaking as they travel home with you. It’s perfectly easy to check and comes with wheels to roll it, too.
The best part? When it’s not being used, it easily collapses and can be folded, so it’s not taking up room in your closet. It hardly weighs anything, so it’s not a pain to fold up and bring in your luggage on the way to your destination. This is great for any of your loved ones who love wine and travel in equal measure.
3. Antoni Barcelona Sagrada Hand-Painted Wine Glasses
These beautiful wine glasses were hand-painted with colorful looping designs. The city of Barcelona and the stained glass windows in the famous Sagrada Familia Cathedral (designed by Antoni Gaudí) inspired the art on these glasses.
They catch the light beautifully, and the designs will always morph as they are filled with different wines.
They’re made with lead-free paint and each glass was hand-blown by an expert artisan. They come packaged in a beautiful box, ready to be wrapped and given as a gift. If you can find it, there’s also a matching decanter, though it seems to be sold out as of this writing. The glasses do need to be hand washed, so make sure you tell your loved one that!

For the big wine drinkers in your life, the two glasses can be combined with additional letters to spell out ‘WINE’ or with a loved one’s initials for a monogram effect.

The Corkcicle brand is famous in the wine world. These insulated tumblers continue the brand’s mission of keeping your wine at the right temperature the whole time you’re enjoying it. They’re triple-insulated stainless steel, so they keep cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot. They have a non-slip silicone bottom and a spill-resistant lid to keep your wine in your cup where it belongs, too.

They come in a lot of really fun colors and designs, including this rose quartz, copper, stardust, turquoise and unicorn magic. These make a great gift for anyone who likes to enjoy their wine somewhere other than the dining table.
8. Wine Picnic Bag
Imagine it: Wine under the stars on a blanket; wine by the beach; wine basically anywhere.
This wine picnic tote makes those plans so much easier. Rather than making sure you’ve got everything you need in your bag, just stick your wine in this tote and go. It comes with space for two bottles of wine, and the insulation keeps them cool. The second compartment carries a corkscrew, wine stopper (you know, in case you don’t finish your bottle), and a place to secure two acrylic wine glasses.
The genius part, though, is the wine stakes. These can be inserted into the ground to create a secure resting place for your glass. No more worrying if your glass will to topple over because the ground isn’t perfectly even.
This is a great addition into any picnic-lover’s toolset.
