Affordable Gifts for Wine Lovers from Amazon

Affordable gifts for wine lovers from Amazon.

(Updated Nov 2024) Looking for an affordable gift for the wine lover in your life? I’ve picked out some of my favorite inexpensive gifts from Amazon. Prices were valid a time of publication, but they may have changed since. Please note this post contains affiliate links where I may earn a small commission at no cost to you. This post may also contain some products I received as samples, but I was not under any obligation to include them in this post. I only recommend Items I truly enjoy.

Repour Wine Saver

Repour wine savers are an affordable way to preserve a bottle of wine. I’ve been using them for the last couple of years and the results have been great! It’s a much less expensive alternative to using a Coravin.

Bath/Shower Wine Glass Holder

This Bath/Shower Wine Glass Holder might be more of a gag gift, but if you enjoy a glass of wine in the bath it could be very handy. It would make a fun and inexpensive stocking suffer.

Funny Wine Socks

Another novelty item, but who doesn’t love comfy wine themed socks? To be honest, I feel like you can never have enough fuzzy wine socks.

Wine Chiller

This stainless steel wine bucket is a great way to keep white or sparkling wine cool and looks great on the table. I have a similar model and it comes in handy in the summer.

Wine Pourer

I have this wine pourer that also doubles as an aerator, I use it for most of my red wines. It’s very easy to use and fits almost all wine bottles.

Wine Glasses

This set of 4 white wine glasses is on sale. I feel you can never have too many wine glasses, but that might just be because I am clumsy.

A collection of moments from our whirlwind trip to A collection of moments from our whirlwind trip to Germany for the Berlin Marathon. The last time I was in Berlin was in 2007, and a lot has changed in almost 20 years. I enjoyed revisiting spots I’ve been before and adding in some new-to-me ones too. 

While Munich is the center for Octoberfest, we were still able to partake in a few Octoberfest celebrations in Berlin. I’m usually a wine drinker, but I really enjoyed trying different German Beers. 

On a side note - as a chronic over-packer, I still can’t believe I managed to do the trip with carry-on luggage only.
Help me pick the @cruwinery Chowder Cook-off champ Help me pick the @cruwinery Chowder Cook-off champion! I’m a big fan of wine and food pairings, so you can imagine how excited I was when CRŪ Winery asked me to be one of the judges for their annual Chowder Cook-Off. 

The two finalists prepared their chowders live in front of an audience at the winery while attendees sipped on wine and mixed and mingled. 

Then when the chowders were ready the judging began. 

As one of the members of the judging panel our job was to judge the chowders by the originality of the recipe, and how well it paired with CRŪ Chardonnay. 

It was a really fun afternoon! This is my second year judging and it’s become one of my favorite annual traditions. 

Thanks CRŪ Winery for inviting me to be a judge!
If you want Monterey Bay views, wine by the glass, If you want Monterey Bay views, wine by the glass, and delicious small bites, then check out @atasteofmonterey next time you’re on the Monterey Peninsula. 

As a monterey local, this wine bar is one of the places I love to take friends and family when they come to visit. 

The views are absolutely breathtaking, and you can watch sea lions and whales swim by directly from your table. 

Executive Chef Bruce Finch, also updates the small bites menu quarterly and his latest creations, including a French onion grilled cheese sandwich and Thai squash soup, are perfect for cool fall afternoons and evenings 

Thank you A Taste of Monterey for hosting me for your seasonal menu preview, I always love seeing what’s new.

Photo dump because I’ve still lost my voice from t Photo dump because I’ve still lost my voice from this awful flu. New Zealand was so beautiful and another country to cross off of my bucket list. 

We only had time to visit Auckland on the North Island, but it was really breathtaking and looks so different from any place I’ve been before!
Sydney, Australia was a bucket list destination fo Sydney, Australia was a bucket list destination for me and it exceeded my expectation - I loved it so much! It was well worth the long flight and the jet lag. The city was gorgeous, the people were really nice, and the animals were so cute!

Here’s a few of my favorite snapshots from our trip.
Thanks for the amazing Car Week! Always love spend Thanks for the amazing Car Week! Always love spending time with amazing friends, cool cars, and at awesome events. Can’t wait to do it all again next year 💕
