For him: the bold-red enthusiast

People who love full-bodied wines often open bottles with long, delicate corks. A solid wing corkscrew that pulls the cork out whole, effortlessly, is a gift they'll use at every dinner, and a decanter completes the ritual.

For her: the design and pop-icon lover

For someone who furnishes their kitchen with hand-picked objects, a wine accessory can become a display piece. Look for distinctive shapes, materials that last and a box that already looks great under the tree.

For colleagues and clients: the corporate gift

A corporate gift works when it's useful, elegant and not so personal that it feels awkward. A wine accessory in a premium box ticks all three boxes, and it's easy to ship to several addresses.

For people who have everything

The trick is to go for originality over function: a playful object with a story to tell becomes a conversation starter at every holiday toast.

Three tips to get it right

  1. Order early. Deliveries slow down in December: always check the estimated delivery date on the product page before you buy.
  2. Choose a ready-made gift box. It saves you the wrapping and makes a great first impression.
  3. Pair it with a bottle. A corkscrew plus a bottle you picked yourself: a complete, personal gift.

And for New Year's Eve?

Sparkling wine doesn't need a corkscrew, but the holidays are full of still wines to open: a good corkscrew is a gift that works all season long. For more ideas, read our gift guide for wine lovers.
