1. Wine glasses and tumblers
Wine glasses and tumblers are a must for wine lovers. The glasses are sold at a variety of price points, so shop around — you will certainly find something within your budget.
Consider whether the wine lover is a red or white drinker and purchase a set of glasses that best compliments the wine type.

You can pour wine into the large bottle to keep it cool all day while you're out in the hot sun.

4. Wine cooler sleeve
A wine cooler sleeve slips right onto a standard bottle of wine and chills the beverage.
They are fairly inexpensive, and there are a few brands that sell them in packs.
5. Wine/champagne bucket
All wine connoisseurs must have a wine bucket in their home.
They are excellent for entertaining large groups and keeping multiple bottles chilled at once. They come in different sizes. Some fit just one bottle and others fit a number of bottles.
Fill the bucket with bottles and top with ice for an aesthetically pleasing and practical display of wine.

6. Wine cooler fridge or rack
This gift is pricier than those mention so far. However, if your budget has some wiggle room, this is a great gift to consider for storing wine.

A less expensive version of a wine cooler is a wine rack. They are available at a slew of home stores and provide a sense of organization and tidiness to a corner filled with bottles of wine.
7. Corkscrew wine opener
Corkscrew wine openers are inexpensive and, of course, very necessary for getting a bottle open to enjoy.
If you want to splurge, electric wine openers are also available for purchase.
