Wine Accessories Are the Perfect Holiday Gift

As more people are learning to enjoy wine in their own homes, wine accessories have become one of the most popular gift suggestions this holiday season. People are finding fun ways to continue to make wine part of their lives.

Part of the enjoyment behind anything is how well the experience of it can be enhanced. Drinking wine is no different. Enjoying a good glass of wine is as much about the experience that surrounds it-the design of the label, the action of uncorking the bottle, the stylish glassware designed for one purpose-as it is about drinking the wine itself. With a growing popularity in home wine consumption, people are taking that experience to a whole new level by including handcrafted wine accessories to be part of the occasion. With many artisans now making handmade unique collectibles, this is a holiday gift trend that shows no sign of stopping.

"Part of drinking and enjoying wine is that it should be fun," Woodsy Wino President and C.E.O. Jennifer Finnell recently said while announcing the latest sales figures for her company. "Too many people associate wine drinking with stuffy occasions and serious moods. What people don't remember is that wine is an everyday drink for many people around the world. It isn't just about special events."

In fact, many of the early wine makers were also the artisans who were building the barrels or creating the glassware, so it was a natural fit that they would design wine accessories, as well. Now that wine is enjoying a resurgence through all members of society, those accessories are becoming just as popular as ever. One item that is especially popular during this holiday season is handcrafted wine glass charms. These collections, either selected from pre-designed selections or independently commissioned styles, are great conversation starters, not to mention the perfect way for people at your next holiday party to remember which glass belongs to which guest.

The holidays are the perfect time to get together with family and friends, and wine is the perfect accompaniment for such occasions. Now you can take that enjoyable time one step further by adding in custom made wine accessories.
