The secret to any great gift is paying close attention to your loved ones and their interests in order to get them a well-thought-out and specific gift. Since you're selecting a wine gift for your friend, you're already halfway there. 

Whether it's a wine club gift card, a set of really nice crystal glasses, a travel wine tote or a strikingly beautiful metal and marble wine rack, finding the perfect gift for your wine-loving friend is easier than ever with a wide range of wine gifts and accessories on the market.

Le Chateau Crystal Carafe and Wine Decanter

Decanting wine can enhance the flavor of the wine through aeration, allowing the wine to breathe and softening the tannins in the wine. Decanters can also be used to help remove sediment from older wines. 

If the wine lover in your life is just getting started and doesn't have a decanter, or if they could use a much fancier upgrade, this crystal decanter is sure to spark joy. Hand blown, radiant, and designed to hold a standard 750ml bottle.
