Uncork the Romance with Wine Gifts this Valentine's Day

(ARA) - Looking for that romantic gift that is personal and special, memorable and fun? Creative Valentine's Day shoppers are turning to wine clubs and wine-related accessories to fulfill their shopping needs this year.

Wine has moved beyond just a bottle brought to a dinner soiree as a thoughtful gift for the host or hostess. It's now possible to find wine related gifts for family members, friends, spouses, and significant others -- virtually any adult on your gift list this Valentine's Day.

And there are so many great ideas to choose from. Take for instance an engraved top-of-the-line corkscrew that will make opening wine bottles a simple and speedy experience -- with a personalized touch. Or how about a Riedel wine glass set? Do you know someone who can never put her hands on a matched set of wine glasses when she needs it? Consider giving a set of four, or even eight, glasses to make entertaining a style statement. And mix it up with a set of glasses shaped for each type of wine.

If the wine lover in your life is really after those collectable, award-winning bottles - give him a wine club membership. That way he'll have something to look forward to not just this February, but throughout the year.

Wine makes a great gift because it's not something that will be put away and forgotten after the special day is over. It will be savored and enjoyed by both the wine novice and wine aficionado from the time the bottle is opened until the last drop is gone. And membership comes with rewards.

Take for example the benefits offered by Gold Medal Wine Club (www.GoldMedalWine.com), which specializes in delivering hard-to-find wines from small, family-owned California wineries to people all across the country. Buy a one-month Gold Series Membership for $34 (one to 12 month gifts are available), and your giftee will get two highly-rated bottles of wine (one red, one white) neatly gift-wrapped in tissue and perfectly tied bows. They'll also receive a fun and informative color publication called "The Wine Press" that features information about the wines, the fascinating backgrounds of the winery owners, a behind-the-scenes tour of the vineyards and great food pairing ideas from the winemakers themselves.

If you know a wine enthusiast who has always dreamed of visiting California's famed wine country regions but just couldn't find the time or resources to do it, a great surprise would be a Gold Medal Wine Club gift basket. Imagine his delight when a basket arrives containing two bottles of premium California wines packed with a unique collection of delicious gourmet treats direct from the famous wine regions. Or how about a classic sentimental basket of award-winning champagne, chocolates, and crystal champagne flutes to enhance the romance of the day? Gift baskets start at $69 and are sure to leave a special impression on any gift recipient.

All of the wines offered by Gold Medal Wine Club are hard-to-find, small production wines from boutique family wineries. The wines have won multiple medals and awards from major wine competitions and have high ratings from the major wine publications. Some wines are even pre-releases and exclusives that are only offered at the winery itself and through the Club.
