Top 10 Mother's Day gifts for a mom who loves wine

Mother's Day is always such a special holiday. It's one that lets us thank the people who really matter in our lives and let them know how much they mean to us. So consider picking up a gift that your mom can use to unwind and relax with! We've put together a quick guide of 10 of the best Mother's Day gifts for a mom who loves wine.

1. Coravin Wine-by-the-glass system

Need a gift for your wine-loving mom? Our devices allow her to enjoy her favorite bottle of still and sparkling wines without having to worry about finishing it—or opening a new bottle!

Whether she wants to preserve her wine for weeks, months, years or even just a sample a glass of bubbly - Coravin has a device for all your Mom’s wine drinking needs.

Coravin Timeless

The Coravin Timeless device allows wine to be enjoyed without removing the cork, which preserves the remaining wine for future enjoyment. This means that your mom can enjoy a glass of wine without having to commit to finishing the entire bottle. The device uses a needle to pierce through the cork, which allows the wine to be poured while keeping the cork intact. This prevents the wine from being exposed to air, which can affect the taste and aroma of the wine. With the Coravin Timeless device, your mom can savor the full flavors and aromas of the wine, enhancing her overall wine-drinking experience.

Coravin Pivot

The Coravin Pivot is designed to be easy to use, making it an ideal gift for moms who would like to enjoy a bottle of their favourite wine over the course of 4 weeks.. Simply insert the device, tilt the bottle, and pour the desired amount of wine. The device is lightweight, portable, and can be used on any bottle with a cork closure. The Coravin Pivot is perfect for entertaining guests, as it allows your mom to serve multiple wines - “cheese and wine pairing, anyone?!”. She can impress her guests with a selection of wines, without the added cost of opening multiple bottles and wasting what’s left over.

Coravin Sparkling

The Coravin Sparkling device is designed to preserve the quality and flavor of the wine, preventing oxidation and ensuring that the carbonation is maintained. This means that the wine will taste just as fresh and bubbly as it did when it was first opened, even after several weeks. The Coravin Sparkling device can save your mom money in the long run, as it allows her to enjoy her favorite sparkling wine without having to open a new bottle every time she wants a glass. This is especially beneficial if she enjoys drinking high-quality or expensive sparkling wines.

2. A book on “How to drink wine”

"How to Drink Wine: The Easiest Way to Learn What You Like" by Grant Reynolds and Chris Stang is a book that offers a beginner's guide to wine. The book aims to demystify the world of wine and make it more approachable for those who are just starting to explore it.

This covers all of the basics of wine in an easy-to-read format. The authors cover the essentials of wine, including the different types of wine, how to taste wine, and how to pair wine with food. They also provide tips on how to navigate a wine list, how to buy wine, and how to store wine. One of the unique features of this book is that it includes a series of tastings designed to help readers identify their personal taste preferences. This book could ultimately help guide your mom to understanding her own palate and develop the confidence to select wines she’ll enjoy.

3. Wine bottle holder

Choosing the right wine bottle holder for your mom will depend on her preferences and the type of space where she plans to display it. Here are a few factors to consider when choosing a wine bottle holder:

1. Style: Wine bottle holders come in a variety of styles, from rustic and traditional to modern and sleek. Consider your mom's personal style and the decor of the room where she plans to display the wine bottle holder. Look for a holder that complements the existing decor.

2. Capacity: How many bottles of wine does your mom typically keep on hand? If she only has a few bottles, a smaller holder may be sufficient. However, if she has a larger wine collection, she may need a holder that can accommodate multiple bottles.

3. Material: Wine bottle holders can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, metal, and plastic. Take into regard the durability and aesthetic appeal of different materials when making your choice.

4. Functionality: Some wine bottle holders are designed to be decorative while others are functional. Think about how your mom plans to use the wine bottle holder and choose accordingly.

5. Brand: Some wine bottle holders are designed and branded by well-known wineries or wine accessory companies. If your mom is a fan of a particular winery or brand, consider choosing a wine bottle holder with their logo or design.

4. Red wine stain remover

Wine stains happen to the best of us. Be it on a tablecloth, rug or shirt. Your mom might know of some “old-school” tricks like using salt or mixing dishwashing liquid with hydrogen peroxide when accidentally spilling red wine on a white tablecloth or blouse. But in reality, salt can set the stain permanently and peroxide is not suitable for all fabrics. Instead, if you spill red wine, a wine stain remover is ideal, because you can act quickly, remove the stain (whether wet or dry) and not have to be concerned about using harsh chemicals. Simply spray the affected area, leave it for a few minutes, and blot with an absorbent cloth.

5. WSET course

The WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) wine course is a great option for someone who is interested in learning more about wine.

If your Mom is just beginning to learn about wine, we would recommend the Level 1 or Level 2 courses, depending on her current knowledge and experience. These courses cover topics such as wine styles, grape varieties, wine tasting, and food and wine pairing. The courses are designed to be accessible to beginners and are a great way to gain a foundational understanding of wine.

6. Wine fridge

A wine chiller, also known as a wine cooler or wine fridge, is an appliance that is designed to store and chill wine. Wine fridges are available in a range of sizes and styles, from small countertop models to large built-in units.

When choosing a wine chiller as a gift, there are a few factors to consider:

1. Capacity: Consider how many bottles of wine your mom typically keeps on hand, and choose a fridge that accommodates this. Wine chillers can range in capacity from a few bottles to over 100.
   
   

2. Size: Think about the available space where the chiller will be placed, and choose a size that fits. Countertop models are typically smaller and can be a good option for those with limited space, while larger freestanding or built-in models can be a good choice for those with more space.
   
   

3. Temperature control: Look for a chiller that offers precise temperature control, with the ability to adjust the temperature to the specific needs of the wine being stored. Some models may also offer dual zones, allowing for different temperatures in different areas of the chiller.
   
   

4. Style and design: Consider the recipient's personal style and the decor of the room where the chiller will be placed. Wine chillers are available in a variety of styles and finishes, from sleek and modern to more traditional designs.
   
   

5. Brand and features: Some wine chillers may offer additional features, such as UV protection, adjustable shelves, or built-in lighting. Consider which features might be most important to the recipient, and look for a chiller from a reputable brand.

7. Wine glasses

Choosing wine glasses as a gift for your mom can be a thoughtful and practical present.

Different types of wine are best served in specific types of wine glasses. For example, red wine is typically served in glasses with a larger bowl, while white wine is often served in glasses with a smaller bowl. If your mom has a preference for a specific type of wine, consider choosing glasses that are designed for that type of wine.

Look for high-quality glasses that are made from durable materials and are designed to enhance the wine-drinking experience. Crystal glasses are often preferred by wine enthusiasts because they are thin and delicate, allowing the wine's color and clarity to shine through.

8. Coasters

While coasters are not strictly necessary when drinking wine, they can help protect surfaces from moisture and stains. Wine can leave behind condensation on the outside of the glass or drip down the bottle when poured, which can cause rings or stains on surfaces. Coasters can also help prevent this from occurring.

In addition to their practical function, coasters can also be used to enhance the presentation of wine. Wine coasters made of elegant materials like marble, wood, or metal can add a touch of sophistication to a wine tasting or dinner party.

9. Wine wipes
Wipe that wine off your teeth with a unique towelette that brightens up your smile without interfering with your wine tasting experience. Wine wipes are a handy small compact, perfect for any wine lover. Whether you’re mom is meeting a friend at a wine bar, or planning a trip to Bordeaux in the Summer, these wine wipes will ensure she’s not caught with a wine stained smile while sipping on a glass of her favourite red.

10. Appetizer plates

If you're looking to select a good plate for a mom who loves wine and hosting wine tasting parties, there are a few things to consider:
Size and shape: Choose a plate that is large enough to accommodate the food being served, but not so large that it takes up too much space on the table. A rectangular or oval-shaped plate can be a good choice for displaying appetizers.

1. Material: Consider the material of the plate. If you're serving hot appetizers, choose a heat-resistant material such as ceramic or porcelain. If you're serving cold appetizers, glass or stainless steel can be good choices.

2. Presentation: The plate should be visually appealing and complement the food being served. Consider the colors and textures of the food and choose a plate that will make them stand out.

3. Easy to clean: Choose a plate that is easy to clean and maintain. Avoid plates with intricate designs or patterns that can be difficult to clean, and think about whether or not Mom can place the plate in the dishwasher.

4. Quantity: Determine the number of guests your mom usually hosts and choose plates that will accommodate the number of appetizers being served.
