Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew with Foilcutter, Black
from Metrokane.
Coming from a woman who loves to throw dinner parties, isn't afraid to cook just about anything and yet never quite is able to open the darn wine bottle, this product is superb!!! I have often poked corks down into the wine out of sheer frustration and this little number opens the bottle with ease...
Riedel Vinum Chablis/Chardonnay Wine Glasses, Set of 6
from Riedel.
This was one of the first Riedel glasses I bought. I've done many, many tests on how wine tastes differently in various glass options and in different situations. Riedel is one of the tests that is easy for even beginning drinkers to see the difference in. The flavor is *amazingly* different when...
Riedel Vinum Chianti Classico / Zinfandel Wine Glasses, Set of 6
from Riedel.
I've done many, many tests on how wine tastes differently in various glass options and in different situations. Riedel is one of the tests that is easy for even beginning drinkers to see the difference in. The flavor is *amazingly* different when you compare the exact same wine in a Riedel glass vs...
Metrokane Deluxe Rabbit with Foilcutter
from Metrokane.
I purchased the "Rabbit" for my husband this Christmas. We used to uncork wine with a typical "waiter corkscrew". We are not waiters, and would inevitably spill wine, break corks, and feel like idiots. It took a few bottles of practice to feel like a pro using the Metrokane rabbit. It's really a...
Haier America HVF020ABB 20 Bottle Capacity Wine Cellar
from Haier.
This is a great gift. Not many will go out to purchace for themselves, except perhaps the true wine lover. Excellent show piece and yet functional!
Riedel Vinum Burgundy/Pinot Noir Wine Glasses, Set of 4
from Riedel.
OK, maybe you know that Riedel crafts a separate shape for every variety of wine under the sun - and that this one is designed for Pinot Noir or red Burgundy. As a devoted fan of those wines I can tell you that the glass really does make them taste (and more importantly smell) much finer; letting...
Spiegelau Authentis Red Wine Glasses, Set of 6
from Spiegelau.
Beautiful glasses with a lovely shape that actually enhances the bouquet and flavor of the wine. They have a nice crystal ring when you ping them. A real price performer, especially compared to other, more expensive brands.
WMF Glass Duck Decanter with Stand
from WMF.
I bought this item as a holiday gift. It is a very beautiful piece and is artisitcally designed well. When we went to set it in its stand, however, the lip of the neck brushed the wire frame and chipped! I was shocked that it broke so easily. It's possible that they connected at just the right point...
Spiegelau Vino Grande Chardonnay Glasses, Set of 6
from Spiegelau.
I agree with the other reviewer. I just want to add that these glasses have survived hundreds of washings over the years in the dishwasher, and have never shown any signs of wear, including scratching or breaking. great value.
Riedel Vinum Extreme Bordeaux Wine Glass, Set of 4
from Riedel.
The right glass can make your wine taste better -- and, no, I'm not kidding. Riedel Vinum Extreme weren't just made for great quality and even better style, they are designed specifically to showcase New World wines. If you like your Cabernets from California or your Shiraz from Australia or...
WMF Manhattan Stainless Steel Cocktail Shaker with Built-In Strainer
from WMF.
I like this a lot. It is very compact and easy to use. I like the built in ice strainer. You just slip off the cap and pour. No hassles of the top jamming and having to beat it open with a knife. You will need a finer strainer if you want to filter out citrus pulp, for example. But for most...
Riedel Vinum Bordeaux Wine Glasses, Set of 6
from Riedel.
I think these glasses are wonderful. In addition to making the wine smell and taste better, the large size makes it easy to properly swirl the wine. THis allows you to see it better and of course to smell it better, which improves the taste. One word of warning, if you are just using these for...
Anchor Hocking 5-Piece Martini Gift Set
from Anchor Hocking.
AWESOME FEEDBACK FROM MY BEST FRIEND WHOM I PURCHASED THIS SET FOR AS A CHRISTMAS GIFT!!! I, MYSELF LIKED THE STYLE AND IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GREAT GIFT TO SEND HER THIS YEAR SINCE SHE'S SUCH A CHOCOLATE MARTINI AFFICIANADO... SHE LOVED THE SET SO MUCH THAT SHE HAD A MARTINI THE SAME...
Libbey Flare 16-Piece Beverage Glass Set, Cobalt Blue
from Libbey.
This is a beautiful set of glasses. The cobalt blue is intense. Though they are priced inexpensively the quality and experience drinking out of these glasses seems extraordinary. The sizes provided in this set of glasses is a welcome addition to your table. At 4-1/2 inches tall holding 14-1/2...
Spiegelau Collection Bordeaux Wine Glasses, Set of 6
from Spiegelau.
These glasses were given to me as a gift. I used them without thinking much about it until recently, when at a friend's home I experienced the Riedel Bordeaux glasses. The difference in quality and design was notable, and especially the shape of the Riedel glasses makes the wine taste better. I...
El Paso 6-Piece Margarita 101 Gift Set
from El Paso.
Was a bit smaller than I thought it would be. Haven't listened to the cd yet..it's a small, not extravagant gift. But, may look too small if you are trying to impress someone.
Screwpull Lever Model Wine Opener Gift Set
from Screwpull.
My husband and I received the Screwpull as a wedding gift, but if we ever lost if, we wouldn't hesitate to buy another one! I have always had a hard time with traditional corkscrews (eg. twisting the screw in crooked, so that the cork is sure to crumble), so the addition of the Screwpull to our home...
Mikasa Classic Elegance 5-Piece Red Wine Set
from Mikasa.
I ordered this as a gift as well and when I received it, it was smashed in pieces. I knew it before I opened the box (you could hear the glass clanking around). I won't bother ordering another. The packing was terrible, I doubt another would get here in 1 piece.
Hoffritz 6-Piece Stainless Steel Bar Tool Set with Rack
from Hoffritz.
This small gift is perfect for that friend that enjoys hosting the weekend get-togethers. While it doesn't have everything one might ever need to make those specialty drinks, it does offer the basic bar tools in a simple and classy stainless steel finish. I would recommend this gift for all casual...
Riedel Vinum Extreme Cabernet Decanter Gift Set
from Riedel.
WMF Classic Glass Wine Decanter
from WMF.
This decanter is perfect for everyday use if you drink a lot of wine - it's great for us because we don't have an area to cellar wine, so we decant it to take some of the edge off of a young wine. If you don't drink a lot of wine, this decanter is perfect for a special occasion. Since it doesn't...
Vacu Vin Wine Saver Gift Pack, White
from Vacu Vin Inc..
My husband and I have been using this product for at least three years. We find it a necessity since my husband likes red wine and I do not, so we never consume one bottle of red in one sitting. There is no guilt felt when opening a bottle to have one or two glasses. When we want to have just one...
Metrokane Houdini Corkscrew, Black
from Metrokane.
I opened three bottles of wine with the Houdini and after the second bottle I noticed that one of the rubber pieces that holds the bottle in place had torn. Maybe I happened to get a lemon, but I don't think that something well made should tear after a few uses.
Spiegelau Collection Burgundy Wine Glasses, Set of 6
from Spiegelau.
My husband and I love these glasses. They are really really thin and wine taste so much better on the lips. Because the glass is large there is so much more aroma. It is easy to see the "legs" of the wine on the side of the glass. I don't think I ever tasted the real wine flavor before I used...
Ice Bucket (3 qt.)
El Paso Martini 101 Cocktail Gift Set
from El Paso.
The set was pretty basic and some of the martini recipes were not very good
Riedel Vinum Champagne / Prestige Cuvee Glasses, Set of 6
from Riedel.
I've done many, many tests on how wine tastes differently in various glass options and in different situations. Riedel is one of the tests that is easy for even beginning drinkers to see the difference in. The flavor is *amazingly* different when you compare the exact same wine in a Riedel glass vs...
Vacu Vin Guy Buffet Rapid Ice Wine Chiller, Sommeliers
from Vacu Vin Inc..
I use mine CONSTANTLY and give them as gifts quite a bit. It's easy - you simply keep this in your freezer, and when you want to drink a bottle of white wine, slip it on. If the wine was warm to start with it might take 10 minutes to get it down chilled, but after that it'll stay nice and cool while...
WMF Iron Horse 3-Car Complete Train Bar Set
from WMF.
At first I thought that it was too pricy but when I got it today, it pays the price. It is a very elegant looking piece and if you are fond of collecting unique stuff, I would highly recommend this one.
Vacu Vin Food Saver, Set of 4
from Vacu Vin Inc..
The is great for what you get, and what you get is quite a lot. First of all, just buying a set of clear plastic storage containers like this at this price is a pretty good deal, but when you add the vacuum technology to it, it makes it quite a better thing altogether. The vacuum is a very versatile...
