We here at Wine Enthusiast love to buy bottles of wine as gifts. It’s not only the perfect accompaniment to moodily-lit dinners for two or toasts in celebration of a major life event (engagement, wedding, anniversary, you name it). A well-chosen bottle can also honor important cultural traditions and holidays—like Valentine’s Day.
Of course, the actual wine is only one component of a superlative wine-drinking experience, Valentine’s Day edition. There are many other things to consider, from the vessel in which the wine is served (something sleek and sexy, perhaps?) to gadgets and tools that enhance the flavor of that wine (because you want to look good opening that bottle). For those who want to make this year the most romantic Valentine’s Day ever, a wine-adjacent gift is sure to do the trick. From stunning decanters and professional-approved glasses to wine-themed attire, the items on the list below are ideal for showing that special someone how much you care.
