Top 5 Wine Gifts
1) Wine Bottle Coaster

This customizable nautical map wine bottle coaster is handcrafted in Portland, Maine and can hold a standard wine or champagne bottle.
2) White Round Mod Block

Historical ties to the past are evident in the undulating surfaces of our hand hewn reclaimed trivet. Each trivet is made of timber from the late 1800s, using Old World tools and techniques. Used with hot dishes as well as cold, this trivet is a must have for any table. We have added a contemporary element by adding a splash of high-gloss paint to the edges. Gently clean with soap and water. Treat with wood conditioner to preserve finish.
3) Plastic Wine Saver Carafe

A easy-to-use, durable, and beautiful wine preserving carafe made of sturdy Tritan Copolyester features a locking lid, making it perfect for enjoying fresh wine in the backyard, at the pool, on a boat, or wherever life takes you.
4) Set of Two Reusable Wine Caps

A reusable cap to reseal an open bottle of wine between glasses or overnight so the bottle can be laid on its side without leaking. It also can fit in the fridge door without rearranging the contents.
5) Reusable Silicone Straws

Sip away with reusable silicone straws made to help protect your smile. Drinking through a KoffieStraw side steps stains from things like coffee and tea. The BPA-free straws have an oval shape that fits into to-go cups and travel mugs and keeps the flow of hot or cold drinks to the just-right amount. The flexible straws can even be cut to suit your favorite glass, mug, or cup. Set includes a 7” straw, a 10” straw, and a cleaning brush.
