			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why should kids get all the fun of opening toys? Adults like gadgets, too. At least we can justify them by their function and practicality.</p>
<p>So from stocking stuffer prices to more expensive items to give your loved ones or yourself, here is a wish list for the wine and spirits enthusiast.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wineenthusiast.com/corkcicle-wine-chiller.asp" target="_blank"><strong>Corkcicle</strong></a><a href="http://www.wineenthusiast.com/corkcicle-wine-chiller.asp"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-730" title="Corkcicle Wine Chiller" src="http://blog.wineenthusiast.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Corkscicle1.jpg" alt="Corkscicle Wine Chiller" width="123" height="285" /></a><br />
This icicle shaped chiller attached to a cork (hence the name Corkcicle) is an easy way to chill wine without having to tote an ice bucket. Simply open your pre-chilled wine bottle, pour out just a sip’s worth to avoid overflow, and insert the pre-frozen Corkcicle into the bottle.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wineenthusiast.com/vinturi-spirit-aerator.asp" target="_blank"><strong>Vinturi Spirit Aerator</strong></a><br />
From single malt whiskies to blends, an aerator opens up the taste. The Vinturi aerator has a built-in jigger with volume markers and push-button flow control lets you measure and aerate at the same time. No more wondering what amount equals a shot or a “finger.” This model includes a no-drip stand. Try the aerator with other spirits and liqueurs such as tequila, Cognac, Port, Bourbon, vodka,<br />
gin, rum, brandy, and sake.</p>
<p><strong><br />
<a href="http://www.wineenthusiast.com/isi-twist-n-sparkle-carbonated-beverage-maker.asp" target="_blank">iSi Twist &#8216;n Sparkle Carbonated Beverage Maker</a></strong><br />
This has a wow factor and it gives you another option to serve non-alcoholic drinks to family and guests. It is mechanical, not electric so no plugs or batteries.<br />
Pour a chilled beverage into the bottle, insert an iSi® soda charger, and twist. It eliminates boring sodas and wasting plastic from store-bought bottles. It works with fruit juices and iced teas; cocktails and wine coolers. It can even make fizzy desserts such as ice cream or sorbet floats. The starter kit includes: a bottle, carbonation wand, 3 C02 cartridges, and a recipe booklet. Bottles and cartridges are BPA-free and phthalate-free plastic, and stainless steel, respectively. Extra cartridges and bottles can be purchased separately.<br />
<a href="http://www.wineenthusiast.com/skybar-wine-system.asp" target="_blank"><br />
<strong>skybar™ Wine System</strong> </a><br />
The skybar™ Wine System chills, pours and preserves wine. The unit chills wine to its ideal serving temperature, while patented vacuum technology naturally preserves your favorite wines for up to 10 days. It has preset temperatures for 9 wine types/varietals, or you can use the manual controls.</p>
<p>The skybar™ Wine System’s three-bottle unit has digital temperature readings for each chamber.</p>
<p>A sleek spout smoothly pours directly into your glass without disturbing the natural sediment in the wine bottle. The chambers keep bottles free of any foreign substances, which can alter flavor and aroma. No expensive replacement cartridges are needed.</p>
<p>Any of these gadgets make fun gifts that any wine lover would be proud to own!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Announcing Wine Enthusiast’s Gift of the Year 2011: <a href="http://www.wineenthusiast.com/wine-enthusiast-silent-6-bottle-touchscreen-wine-refrigerator.asp" target="_blank">6-Bottle Touchscreen Wine Refrigerator</a><a href="http://www.wineenthusiast.com/wine-enthusiast-silent-6-bottle-touchscreen-wine-refrigerator.asp"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-719" title="6 Bottle Touchscreen Wine Refrigerator (2011 Gift of the Year)" src="http://blog.wineenthusiast.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/6Bottle.jpg" alt="6 Bottle Touchscreen Wine Refrigerator (2011 Gift of the Year)" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Our team has chosen our 6-Bottle Touchscreen Wine Refrigerator for many benefits other than its sleek design.</p>
<p>It is compact and meant to sit on your countertop for convenient, easy access. Thinner than a microwave and quieter than a traditional wine refrigerator, it uses state-of-the art thermoelectric cooling. The three chrome shelves pull out for easy access. It’s available in classic black, or a clean, crisp white. Both have stainless steel trim.</p>
<p>And the next best feature is price. We are running a special holiday offer until December 26. The introductory price is $99, and shipping is free.  Plus, for great advice on filling your new refrigerator with the best wine, we&#8217;ve included a two-year digital subscription to <a href="http://www.winemag.com" target="_blank">Wine Enthusiast Magazine</a> with your purchase.</p>
<p>But don’t take it from us, we’ve won many accolades from other publications.  The Wall Street Journal gave us the number one rating for their <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119213376357656347.html" target="_blank">top small wine coolers under $150</a> and Consumers Digest selected our 12 Bottle Wine Refrigerator as a Best Buy</p>
<p>If you were curious, our past recipients of our Wine Enthusiast Gift of the Year include the <a href="http://www.wineenthusiast.com/eurocave-sowine-home-wine-bar-%28silver-trim-door%29.asp" target="_blank">EuroCave SoWine</a> Home Wine Bar and the <a href="http://www.wineenthusiast.com/wine-enthusiast-silent-12-bottle-dual-zone-touchscreen-wine-refrigerator.asp" target="_blank">Silent 12 Bottle Dual Zone</a> Touchscreen Wine Refrigerator.</p>
<p>We could think of no better gift item than our <a href="http://www.wineenthusiast.com/wine-enthusiast-silent-6-bottle-touchscreen-wine-refrigerator.asp" target="_blank">6-Bottle Touchscreen Wine Refrigerator</a> to be named our Gift of the Year 2011.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The weather is warming up and Summer months are beckoning us. For many the months of June, July and August mean something aside from beach vacation time: wedding season. While many couples have every bowl, blender and pickle plate pre-selected in a registry,  some may allow you to get creative with gifting. And there’s plenty of room for creative gifts amongst the engagement parties, bridal showers and bachelorette weekends that often come with the territory.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-481 alignright" title="Toast for Two Wine and Picnic Table" src="http://blog.wineenthusiast.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/ToastforTwo.jpg" alt="Toast for Two Wine and Picnic Table" width="211" height="211" />A friend of mine was recently looking for something more thoughtful for a bridal shower. She perused our site and found the <a href="http://www.wineenthusiast.com/toast-for-two-wine-table.asp" target="_blank">Toast-for-Two Wine Table;</a> a handy bamboo picnic table with slots for two glasses.
