If you love wine, which I’m sure you do if you are reading our page then these are our top wine gadgets we cannot live without. All of these items are available on Amazon (of course with free shipping on your Prime account) and with the best deals, wine is an expensive hobby and we want to show you the best deals (all of these items we own and use on a weekly basis).
1. Vacu Vin Wine Saver – Don’t get us wrong we love splitting a bottle of wine any night after a long of work. However, we know some of our readers are just looking to enjoy a glass but don’t want to waste a bottle. Forget about the decorative wine stoppers and invest in an vacuum stopper that will preserve your wines for up to 5 days longer and make you feel less guilty about opening up that favorite bottle of yours!
2. Two-Prong Cork Puller – Have a soft cork? Problems breaking the corks? No fear with this vintage two-prong cork puller you can rest assure you wont break any corks or mark them. If you want a clean cork with no markings this is your go to tool. You’ll look pretty badass if you bring this out to open a bottle in front of your guests as well.
3. Wine Aerator – Want to aerate your wine but don’t want the mess of cleaning a decantor, or have the time? This TenTen Labs Wine Aerator not only aerates your wine but creates the perfect pour!
4. Sediment Strainer – How many times have you opened a vintage bottle and wondered what that griddy feeling is at the end of the bottle in your mouth? That would be sediment & although it gives great complexity to the wine it is also something you don’t want to decant or drink. For those wondering what in the world sediment is Sediment is the solid material that settles to the bottom of any wine container, such as a bottle, vat, tank, cask, or barrel. This gadget was a tool we gave Carmen’s Father as he has a large collection of vintage wine’s and this was always a pain of his. Pour the bottle through the strainer and you now have a sediment free decanted bottle of wine. I know it’s not even Halloween yet but for those of you who love to plan ahead for the holidays this would be a great stocking stuffer 🙂
5. Decanter – We love cooking a big steak dinner and in order to prep for that we like to start by pouring a bottle in the morning (yes, not with our coffee) but to aerate the wine in the decanter prior to enjoying it later in the evening – this applies to a heavy red. Not only does it give your table a romantic touch but, you will enjoy the meal even more! This is a hit for any party you are hosting or simply an evening in with your other half!
6. Wine Bottle Collars – Want the perfect pour? Don’t want anymore red wine drips on your table after you pour a glass? Speak no more and invest in a wine collar giving you an clean pour and impressing your dinner guests.
BONUS ITEMS: Wine Bible – Okay now you may be thinking this is not a gadget but in our home it is! The Wine Bible is truly that, everything you need to know in a professional and plain speech manner about wine regions, types of wine, and just the history of wine. We spend week nights reading new chapters (in no particular order just depending on what bottle we are drinking that night) just for fun! Place on your bedside table, kitchen counter, or coffee table you name it and your guests will be impressed.
We hope you enjoyed these gadgets and head over to Amazon and get some for yourself! Now enough reading go open a bottle and set up a nice charcuterie board for your evening.
Cheers – Wine’in Texas
