[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]For Christmas or for a birthday, for your loved ones or for yourself, here are some great ideas to delight and surprise wine lovers![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]
The amateur’s accessories
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]When it’s time for tasting, they are always very useful:

Stemmed glasses
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]Beautiful glasses always give a nice impression, when they are offered and whenever they are taken out of the cupboard. There are different types depending on the wine, but the standard ones have the following features:
– the bottom of the glass must be larger than the beak,
– they are transparent to appreciate the wine’s colour,
– they are big enough so that 12 cL only occupies a third of the glass[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]
A wine decanter
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”7424″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]To aerate and decant the wine (separate the wine from any potential deposits that fall to the bottom). There are many models, from the most classic to the most original.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]
A corkscrew
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]From the classic wood device to the fancy multicolor one, a corkscrew has to be chosen according to its use. For a professional use, choose a lever counter corkscrew or an automatic version. For those who collect corks, there are bimetallic corkscrews that do not pierce the cork!![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]
A drop stop
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]Simple or with a complex design, they’ll all make sure your tablecloth is spotless! They also take the pressure out of the person who is serving the wine who doens’t have to worry about the wine drop anymore! The metal spout remains the most economical and practical because it fits the neck of the bottle. You can go for plastic “wine aerator” versions or more discreet ones, the bottle necks which will absorb the drops that dare to escape![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_single_image image=”7426″ img_size=”large”][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]
Grapevine
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
⇒ To buy
You can find them in a garden centers along with advice on how to grow and take care of your plant. Keept it away from wing but let it have as much sun as it can. The vine will perfectely fit on a balcony or a terrace as much as planted in a garden. If you want to get some fruits, you will need to prune your vine so that it does not give all its energy to expand preventing grapes from growing. The grapes you will obtain will be more tart than you are used to, but will certainly have a different taste than the supermarket ones![/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”7425″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]
⇒ To rent
We heard through the grapevine that you can sponsor a vine in a French vineyard! You “rent” it and follow its evolution on the internet. You can visit the vineyard, give a hand to the winemaker for the harvest or attend the winemaking process. Coupled with this winemaking experience, you will receive 6 bottles of your vine’s vintage at home![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]
