Looking for Storage or Gift Ideas?

Now that so many of us are entertaining at home, hosting dinner parties rather than eating out, storage space is often limited. There are many different styles & brands of coolers to choose from. You may want a Double, Under Counter or Dual Zone or an avanti wine cooler
When entertaining the refrigerator is often packed full leaving very little room for beers, fizzy drinks let alone the wine bottles.

I'm sure you know that the temperature wine is stored at is another important consideration. Even if you're only keeping a bottle of two for a few weeks it can be affected if not stored at the right temperature.

When looking for a Wine Chiller you need to think about

• Size - The number of bottles that you would like to store is important in making your decision. 

• Where do you want to place it - Direct light, whether it be artificial or sunlight can affect the wine by prematurely ageing it - sparkling wines are most susceptible to this. If the unit is to be put somewhere where the temperature fluctuates you need to get a model that maintains the consistency of the temperature of the wine. 

• Do you need to keep the unit locked - out of children's reach for instance

Sachi Foldable Insulated Wine Tote Cooler Bags

I think these Sachi Foldable Insulated Wine Tote Cooler Bags would make great gifts

I don't know about you but I like handy multi purpose items, as well as carrying wine I can see these bags being useful for carrying a water bottle when out walking. They come in packs of 4 & are made from bright polyester with a polyethylene lining to keep drinks nicely chilled.

Us wine lovers like to share our favourite vintage with our friends. I really like the way these little bags fold up small enough to fit into a purse once you get to your party. On the other hand they are so reasonably priced I'm sure your host or hostess would appreciate you leaving them with the bottle!

Avanti EWC1201 Wine Cooler

This Wine Cooler holds 12 bottles & is great for storing red & white wine. The Avanti EWC1201 is approx 24'' high, 10'' wide & 19'' deep.

The stylish design has a curved glass door & unlike many coolers benefits from space to store 4 bottles in upright position, something that caught my eye. Advertised as a Counter Top Cooler although one happy customer says ''I put this unit underneath a counter, but you have to make sure you have ample room on each side and above for it to vent'' so you can make up your own mind on that score.

Avanti have been in the business of supplying appliances to consumers & the hospitality industry for over 40 years. This is a popular chiller that attracts many positive reviews from its customers.

Aerator Pourer For The Enthusiast

We think this aerator pourer would make an ideal little gift for the wine enthusiast

It has a tapered rubber stopper & ergonomic spout so no more drips. It also beats that time consuming process of decanting great for the impatient amongst us.

This little gadget is perfect for red or white wine & will introduce just the right amount of oxygen to the favourite tipple.
