Christmas presents for her don’t always have to revolve around jewellery or beauty treatments. Sometimes, ladies just want to relax with a nice glass of Chardonnay or Merlot after a hard day’s work. The festive season will hopefully give the opportunity to rest up and there is nothing like wine to get you in a cheerful mood. There are a host of wine-related items available as gifts for her for Christmas. There is no doubt that wine has experienced a huge increase in its popularity in the last decade. Off-licences are reporting record wine sales as the fruity vintage seems to appeal to everyone’s palate. Red wine has also been proven to be good for your health when taken in moderation though your other half will need no prodding when a glass of delicious Cabernet Sauvignon is placed in front of her.

When thinking of wine-related Christmas gift ideas, you probably don’t realise the science behind wine. You merely purchase a few bottles as gifts for her in a bid to keep her occupied. In actual fact, there are devices you can buy which improve the wine’s taste enormously. Take the Decantus wine aerator for example. This is one of those gifts for her for Christmas that uses science to improve wine. In this instance, the Decantus oxygenates the wine. Rather than bore your girlfriend with the full detailed explanation including the effect of reduced pressure, simply allow her to enjoy one of your gifts for her for Christmas. The scientific details may cause a headache that should only occur as the result of a hangover. The Decantus is also in the shape of a classical Greek amphora which would be one of the best Christmas ideas for the woman in your life by itself.

Even amateur wine drinkers know that white wine must be chilled and red wine is best served at room temperature. Christmas presents for her with a wine theme don’t come much simpler than Chill Or Warm Wine Wraps. This gift comprises two wraps, one that should be frozen, the other which should be microwaved. The cold jacket should freeze in double quick time and can be added to a bottle of white wine to keep it nice and chilled. The warm jacket only needs 60 seconds in a microwave to be effective. This is a Christmas present that will be well received because it prevents her from having to get up and go to the fridge/kitchen for another glass. Keep the bottle of wine in the room with you, turn on some soothing music and let the mix of grapes, berries and caramel caress her tongue.

If you live near London, you could send your girlfriend on a wine course for one. This is a Christmas gift for her that will help her appreciate the art of winemaking that little bit more. Perhaps this new found knowledge will stop her from buying the first cheap bottle of plonk she sees in the local shop. The entire experience lasts for 6 hours and in that time, your girlfriend will sample 14 different wines as well as understanding winemaking techniques, discovering how wine can be an investment and knowing what wine to match with food. There will be an hour off for lunch during the day. If this gift for her for Christmas does not improve her wine knowledge, then nothing will. Just make sure you are on hand to pick her up when the wine tasting is over.

Look for gifts for her for Christmas with a difference. The world of wine is a vast one, just waiting to be discovered. If you love wine, try and get her interested too. Once she has had a few glasses of your best vintage, there is a good chance she will come around to your way of thinking. If she already likes wine then you’re in luck. There are dozens of innovative Christmas presents for her that incorporate wine.
