Purchase things that go well with wine. Put together everything for a gourmet meal and make a gift basket. Use your imagination. Savories like artichoke pate, air-dried beef, fine sausages, sun-dried tomatoes and sharp cheeses go well with strong reds. Whites are excellent with fruits and milder cheeses.

Give them a gift certificate for a restaurant with an extensive wine collection. Make sure they also have an impressive menu. Include enough on the gift certificate for a meal and a bottle of wine.

Consider glasses. Ornate crystal wine glasses are an excellent gift. If you notice your wine lover uses small glasses, you might buy a set of the bulb-shaped goblets that allow wines to breathe. A fine crystal decanter can enhance a room's decor while serving a practical purpose.

Find a novelty gift you think they may enjoy. Look at wine cork candles, wine glass sun catchers, devices that remove the oxygen from wines before recorking, automatic cork screws, terra cotta ice buckets and other distinctive ideas.

Tips & Warnings
Keep your eyes open. Gifts for wine lovers can appear in places you would not think to look. The gourmet coffee shop may have hand painted wine glasses and the corner gift store may have that wine decanter your wine lover would enjoy.
