Spiegelau Vino Grande wine glasses
First to recommend
2 people recommended this item
Description
You only really need 4 types of glasses: Bordeaux, Burgundy, White, and Champagne. Each shape brings out the particular characteristics of that type of wine. Spiegelau are almost as good as Reidel quality-wise, but they are less expensive and tend to be sturdier.

Decanter magazine
5 people recommended this item
Description
While I sorta wish this magazine was only about wine decanters (because that would be ridiculously niche-oriented) it's actually a pretty cool alternative to some of the more traditional wine mags. Which makes it a good gift subscription for the wine lover in your life who probably already has a dog-eared stack of back issues of Wine Spectator.
