Top 5 Gifts for the Bartender
1) Slow Wine Pourer
A slow wine pourer is the best way to serve delicate and older wines. The Vacu Vin tool pours wine from the bottom of the bottle straight to the bottom of your glass slowly. This means there is minimal exposure to oxygen, which can zap freshness and affect taste. This slower method gives an aged bottle of cabernet sauvignon or Bordeaux the special treatment it deserves.
2) Spinning Whiskey & Spirits Glass
Sip from a spinning whiskey glass that does more than just look good (though it certainly does that). The base of this glass is designed to spin in place without toppling your drink. This creates an eye-catching effect with a purpose—the spinning action helps aerate whiskey, which opens up flavor and aroma.
3) Hand Cut Monogram Pint Glass - Set of 2
The classic Monogram on these personalized pint glasses is timeless. Susquehanna Glass Company has been hand etching glass in the USA for over 100 years, and they will etch your chosen letters with the attention to detail they’re known for. Each letter is painstakingly hand cut by holding the glass against a rotating stone wheel. The result is a crisp finish that will last for years.
4) Wall Mount Bottle Opener - Country Flag
Sweet Art Attack: Wall Mount Bottle Opener - Country Flag - Norway
5) Canteen Vinnebago Edition - Matte Black
Independent barware company Corkcicle creates innovative ways to chill, store, and serve your favorite drinks. Vinnebago is a stainless steel, vacuum sealed, triple-walled beverage bottle that keeps what’s inside hot (up to 12 hours) or cold (up to 25 hours). This container won’t shatter so it’s safer than glass and perfect for venues where glass isn’t allowed.
