There are many different wine accessories that one can present to wine lovers and enthusiasts. While some need to be accompanied with wine bottles, others make for perfect gifts in themselves. Some of the wine related gifts include wine coolers, wine baskets, wine glasses, corkscrews, coasters, table mats and wine tasting accessories. Many wine stores stock such products in addition to different kinds of wines as generally people prefer to shop for all wine related items, under one roof. Certain specialty wine stores custom make wine products as per the requirements of the customer.

Many wine shops offer special wine accessories that correspond to the different occasions such as Christmas or Easter. These items make for ideal gifts during the holiday season and have been a very popular option for quite some time now.

The gifts are usually priced at low rates but some are quite expensive, depending on what the gift is as well as its quality. Some gifts can be bought for as low as $25 and these include accessories such as wine stoppers. These are very simple, yet elegant and are considered to be very handy. Items such as wine tool kits, wine totes, corkscrew and wine stopper set and hanging wine racks can be purchased within the price range of $25 to $50. These are also widely popular for gifting purposes. Between the price range of $50 and $100, one can buy elegant and fancy items such as wine cases, elegant wine glasses, and wine rack building kits, wine cages, and different kinds of wine racks. For a higher price range, above $100, the options are endless. One can even buy leather wine carriers, wine country pictures, kitchen carts, beautiful wine tables, and fancy decanters. These are quite popular for gifting purposes among the more affluent wine aficionados.

A Glimpse at Popular Wine Makers


For centuries now, vintners and great wine makers have been tirelessly fermenting grapes, other fruits and flowers to produce the wine that is served at feasts, parties and dinner tables. Cultivating an appreciation of wine is a growing trend in the US. Shops specializing in wine are appearing throughout the country, not just in the traditional vineyard regions of California, Oregon, and Virginia. People who may not have grown up around wine are now drawn not only to sampling but also to collecting it. Tasting parties and special wine pairing events are a common theme in restaurants and in the home. With this comes an increase in interest in home storage. While proper storage can help wines become even more exquisite, improper storage can lead to ruined wine.

There are thousands of varieties or types of wine to choose from. White, sparkling, red or rose wine are just some of the ?colors? that you can choose from.





Wine making is a very lucrative venture because there is a worldwide market. France, Italy, Australia, Spain, Chile and the United States have their share of the worldwide market and are the leading countries which export and produce wine.





Meanwhile, South Africa, Argentina, Portugal and Germany aren't far behind.





California is the state which boasts the most of wine producers in the US. Vineyards are mostly found in Sonoma Valley, Monterey, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez and Napa Valley.





Here are just some of the popular wine makers in the country:





1. Greenvale Vineyards & Winery





This vineyard is located in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. They produce red and white wines located from grapes which are locally grown. Chardonnays and Cabernets are produced from the fertile soils of Greenvale Vineyards.





2. The Mount Pleasant Winery





Located north of St. Louis in Augusta, the Mount Pleasant Vineyards and Winery produces the best wine out of quality grapes. With Chambourcin grapes, a Nouveau-like wine is aged and fermented. Chambourcin is a type of red grape grown mostly in states located on the East.





3. Domaine Drouhin





Located in the Red Hills of the Dundee in Oregon, this vineyard claims a sense of history since it is owned by the Drouhin family. Their wine has received worldwide recognition due to class and quality. The Pinot Noir wines that they produce have the distinct flavors of berries and vanilla for an exquisite taste.

4. Savannah Chanelle Vineyards





Located in the mountains of Santa Cruz in California, the Savannah Chanelle vineyards produce Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir. Pinot Noir is mostly produced in the vast vineyards of Savannah Chanelle and are on the top of the list when it comes to this type of wine.





5. Chappellet Winery





California, being the wine-producing state in the US, includes the Napa Valley region.

This is where the Chappellet Winery is located and they produce Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. This winery produces wines which undergo as little processing as possible.





6. Sanford Winery





This vineyard is located in Buellton, California in the Santa Ynez valley. They make Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.





When deciding which wine to serve your family, consider the bottles produced by such popluar wine makers and you can't go wrong.
