1. A Good Corkscrew

These professional corkscrews are a little tricky to learn how to use, but once you get the hang of it they are the best. This three-pack is a great deal and you can keep one in your suitcase and car for wine adventures.

2. Wine Decanter

When I first started dabbling in the wine world, I didn't think decanting wines was necessary. Now, some 20 years later, I know decanting wines for at least a few minutes before enjoying them makes a huge difference. Some palates prefer un-decanted wine and that is okay too.

This decanter is beautiful and affordable. I've also purchased several decanters from HomeGoods, Goodwill, and other thrift stores.

3. Good Wine Glasses

Please check out my video on what a difference good quality wine glasses make, especially if you are enjoying middle to high-end wines. This pack will set you up with sparkling wine, red, and white wine glasses

. The Riedel (pronounced ree-dl) brand is one of the best and they are very durable and can even go in the dishwasher.

4. Wine Chiller

We enjoy drinking our sparkling wines extra cold. We use this wine chiller all year long and it is a must during the summer. I have purchased insulated freezer bags and other open-top chillers and this one is the best. Last summer, we took a bottle of chilled Cava to our friend's dinner party an hour away. When we arrived at their home, the wine was as cold as when we pulled it out of the refrigerator.

5. Wine Glass Markers

These are always a party favorite. There are wine charms, stickers, etc. to mark your drinking glass but these don't fall off and are useful when you have stemless glasses. I usually wipe it off with a dish sponge before putting the glasses in the dishwasher and all the residue easily comes off.

6. Sparkling Wine Stoppers

We rarely have wine leftover wine to cork but we do like preserving the bubbles of our sparkling wine as we enjoy it. A few times we have preserved a bottle for a couple of days using these stoppers.
