Instead of showing up empty-handed to a family gathering or party during the holiday season, you probably at least bring a bottle of wine with you. It's a tried-and-true host gift. If you know the host you're visiting is something of a wine connoisseur (or, at least, they think they are), you may want to consider getting them a gift that is more creative than the usual bottle of Pinot Noir or Sauvignon Blanc. Below, we compiled 14 presents — ranging from a decadent wine and chocolate pairing to an electric corkscrew to a contemporary stemware set — with the wine enthusiast in your life in mind. Have a look.
