Wine Bottle Gift BoxThe official Christmas shopping rush has started — a dreaded experience for some, a joy for others. Knowing your recipient enjoys or appreciates wine makes your gift list effortless to complete.

Satisfying an oenophile isn’t limited to just bottles; there are books, stemware and accessories available.

Some values, some splurges, these are a few of my favorite things.
