If you've ever been to a party (or supermarket) where there was a wine carrier bag thing, chances are it was horrible. I've seen some that have been tasseled, glue gunned and glittered; others with really disturbing miscellaneous adornment attached to a otherwise simple bag. No harm done if you think those kinds of things are acceptable, but I encourage you to consider this particular one for its nice simple design and overall pleasing color. It will protect bottles just as nicely and you run less of a risk of offending someone.

"The latest in a series from JoshJakus, this wine carrier is a single piece of wool felt with an optimally-placed hole, stitched at the top and sides. Once a bottle of wine is inserted, the hole becomes the bag's handle."

materials: 100% industrial wool felt, nylon stitching. (Industrial felt is made from approximately 85% factory excess wool and 15% mixed fibers.)

Yet another storage option for your wine collection...really, with the seemingly vast numbers of wall mounted wine holders, you have no excuse to not display your vino properly.

Sure, there are tons of bottle openers out there, but this one also tackles screw-caps, which might bump it up on the list.

"this stainless steel opener from piet hein shows off the "super-ellipse" design in a new way. this attractive accessory makes opening either pop-tops or screw-caps a breeze. stylish, functional, and handy, all in one!"

dimensions: 3"d

Simplicity makes both (or either) of these a classic gift.

Stainless steel.

Don't worry if you can't pronounce the name correctly, all that really matters is that you appreciate the form and function. This particular decanter is preferable for young wines, and it arrives with a special pencil so you may label your decanter with the name of whatever wine you decide to enjoy.

A brushed stainless steel wine rack to hold your bottles...it gets points for not being overly done, as some stainless pieces tend to be. Holds 15 bottles.

Think about it, $6 to avoid the normal, boring, how-do-I-start-a-conversation-with-this-person-I-know-absolutely-nothing-about or the which-glass-is-mine feeling. Well worth it for you and your guests.

Simple and effective...

"designed by Arian Brekveld; The wine cooler is made of terra-cotta, porous pottery. The shape is a standard bourdeaux bottle. The cooler saturates itself in seconds when immersed in water. The water on the outside starts to evaporate and cools the inside, an old Roman principle."

Try as I might to get over acrylic, I've realized there's just something about it that brings about an interior exclamation point. Case in point, this wine rack. It's clear, it's cool, it mounts on the wall and doesn't take up much room.

1"W x32"H x4.5"D

Imagine how tidy tables would be if everyone who served wine had one of these.
