Red Wine

Black cherry notes, soft tannins, and a just-enough touch of oak make this affordable Alexander Valley Cabernet a go-to red wine pour for the holiday season.

White Wine

This bright, citrusy Sauvignon Blanc—think ripe lemons and a hint of lemon-grass, plus a touch of wildflower honey—is a perfect antidote to cold, dark winter weather. It makes a great hostess gift, and it's affordable enough to pour at home throughout the holiday season.

Rosé

Credit: Gary's Wine

Yes, yes, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie own the property. But the crucial thing about this flower-petal pink, citrusy, Provençal rosé is that it’s made by the Perrin family of the great Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate Château de Beaucastel, who are among the Rhône Valley’s best winemakers. And the second crucial thing—at least for holiday giving—is that the half-size, 375ml bottles Miraval also produces are both utterly charming and great stocking stuffers.

2019 Miraval Rosé, $20 at garyswine.com

Sparkling Wine

Roederer Estate's refined, toasty brut has long been one of California's best sparkling wines, especially at the price—which is no real surprise, as this Mendocino County winery is owned by the great Champagne producer Louis Roederer.

Roederer Estate Multi-Vintage Brut, $28 at wine.com or bountyhunterwines.com

Coravin

Keep that special bottle sealed while still savoring a glass or two with the Coravin Model Three. The tool is designed to extract wine without removing the cork and keeping the gases intact inside, so the wine is preserved as long as you need it to be.

Coravin Model Three Premium Wine Preservation System, $199 at amazon.com

Proactive Decanter

Credit: WineProO2

Why juggle multiple wine aeration and preservation gadgets, when the WinePrO2 combines both functions in one tool? A one-second spritz using its oxygen cartridge into a glass of wine opens up aromas and flavors far more effectively than pour-through devices, and a similar spritz from its neutral-gas argon canister will substantially extend the life of an open bottle. F&W readers get free shipping and an additional 10% off the purchase of the WinePrO2 System through the end of the year using promo code FOODANDWINE2020. $199 at winepro2.com

Wine Book Gifts

For the wine beginner, star sommelier Aldo Sohm of NYC's Le Bernardin restaurant recently published one of the best intro guides around, Wine Simple. It offers plenty of detail, but never dives so deep that you walk away baffled; plus the gorgeous design is as much about communicating that information as it is about looking good. $30 at amazon.com

If you have a longtime, passionate wine lover who needs a gift, on the other hand, they should be thrilled with a copy of Decanter magazine critic Jane Anson's Inside Bordeaux ($80). Anson's incredibly comprehensive and engagingly written book delves deeply into the terroir of Bordeaux, and profiles effectively every significant château; more than 800 of them. Spanning 700+ pages, with over fifty full-color maps, Inside Bordeaux sets a new benchmark for books on France's most famous wine region.
