Wine sets are gift and professional, and depending on who they are intended for, their composition varies. But here we will talk about wine accessories exactly as a beautiful and stylish gift option. After all, an ordinary person, even a connoisseur and a gourmet, does not need to have a tastevan (tasting bowl), a decanter with a special funnel and strainer, and an aerator for pumping oxygen into young wine. Just like a professional sommelier, it is not necessary that these devices are designed in the same design and be decorated with crystals from Swarovski.
So, what is a gift wine set and what is it for? Just imagine: the guests gathered at the festive table, you present a bottle of expensive wine and ... half an hour tinker with opening it using a cheap aluminum corkscrew, fork, knives. Indeed, high-quality aged drinks sometimes like to “play a joke” on us like this: a cork that spent several years in the neck has a tendency to get stuck there thoroughly. Whereas a professional corkscrew will remove it in a matter of minutes. Moreover, it will make the uncorking process very effective. Therefore, a corkscrew made of high-quality chrome steel is part of all wine sets, without exception.
What other accessories are included in the classic gift set for wine? Firstly, a special box (in the form of a wooden chest, safe, case) with recesses for each item and special rings for bottles. After all, it is very convenient: when going on a picnic, protect the bottle so that it does not break, in such a case, and at the same time grab everything you need to easily uncork it.
The box must include a special knife for cutting the foil from the neck and a napkin with a ring that is worn on the bottle so that drops of wine do not slide off it and do not stain the tablecloth.
This is the minimum that a wine set should consist of. Further filling of the box depends only on your desire and purchasing opportunities. To keep the bouquet of the drink until the next time (if the bottle remains unfinished), a universal cork with a beautiful elegant knob is very useful. Some sets are equipped with special saucers, on which this cork is convenient to put.
Very often, a wine set contains such a useful thing as a drip tray. This is such an inner funnel, which is inserted into the neck of the bottle. With its help, valuable moisture will fall exactly into the glass, and not on the tablecloth or clothes. An equally useful accessory is a special cork with a vacuum suction. Some wines, when uncorked, may oxidize from contact with the air, causing their taste and smell to change. To prevent this from happening, after filling the glasses, the air from the bottle should be removed. An ordinary user can do without a thermometer and an alcohol meter, which cannot be said about a cooling jacket for a bottle, because each sort of wine requires a certain serving temperature.
A wine set is a stylish gift that will suit both a woman and a man. You will emphasize with them both your taste and respect for the recipient of the gift, thus hinting that you know him or her as a wine connoisseur. Gift options are beautifully packed in special wardrobe trunks, designed in a single design and made of high-quality metal. Sometimes these boxes are made of insulating materials and serve as coolers at the same time.
