wine and wine accessories

Wine and wine accessories are an absolute classic in the world of premium business gifts. The most popular accessories include high-quality lever corkscrews, professional waiter's knives with a two-stage lever, foil cutters, aerators for instant flavour development as the wine is poured, stylish stoppers to keep an unfinished bottle fresh, and wine carafes (decanters). A true technological highlight of recent years is the cordless electric wine opener, which pulls the cork in seconds with zero effort at the press of a single button.

A carafe is used for decanting wine — pouring a robust red wine from the bottle into the carafe aerates it, softens the tannins and separates any sediment that has settled at the bottom. Cooling vessels (stainless steel, plastic or specialised gel-filled cooling tubes) are essential for maintaining the correct serving temperature of white, rosé and sparkling wines during dining. Since these items are made of glass or stainless steel and subject to frequent washing, branding is achieved through glass sandblasting, rotary screen printing or elegant laser engraving on metal surfaces.

Presenting a gift bottle of wine requires appropriate, representative packaging. For an affordable yet tasteful option, tall narrow paper bags made from kraft paper with twisted handles are a popular choice. For eco-conscious and sustainable branding, wine bags made from natural jute or cotton with a transparent window panel are ideal. At the absolute top end of the B2B segment are premium gift wine sets — these are cases made from solid wood, bamboo or leather, featuring a padded compartment for storing a fine bottle of wine and an integrated complete set of sommelier tools built into the lid.
