This holiday season, treat the wine enthusiasts in your life with a special gift. Whether your budget is small or large, there is a unique gift to encourage their passions. Recently, wine chillers have become readily available at grocery stores, allowing you to chill a bottle of wine while you shop. Now, you can have that technology at your fingertips with the Single Bottle Wine Chiller from Napa Style. It can chill or warm your bottle (with ten temperature settings) in just a few minutes. $98 Wine Enthusiast carries decorative 30-gallon American Oak barrels that are a fun addition to any home or cellar. The 29-inch high, 30-pound barrel has been charred to perfection, and can stand alone, or act as a base for any table. $329 For a more creative use of a wine barrel, consider the Vintage Oak Barrel Wine Bistro Table also from Wine Enthusiast. A retired barrel has been transformed into a cabinet for storing wine or glassware - anything you desire. A pine table stands atop the barrel, perfect for relaxing or dining. Two matching stools are included, crafted from actual oak casks reinforced with hand-forged iron braces. $945 The EuroCave Digital Comfort 260 is one of the most advanced wine cellars on the market. It can store over 200 wine bottles and offers precise temperature control with easy-to-use digital controls. Its slim modern design and black cabinet finish will compliment any room, and the EuroCave is virtually silent. Each unit is individually hand-crafted in thirty-step process to last through the years. $2,895 A true enthusiast might enjoy a WinePod Complete Personal Winery System. This revolutionary system brings the ability to create custom wines directly into your home. From grapes, to oak barrel, to bottling supplies, it includes all the accessories needed to make up to four cases of wine.
