With only 16 shopping days left until Christmas, have you completed your Christmas shopping? For the next few days, I’ll be taking a look at some gifts that you may want to consider for the wine enthusiast on your Christmas list.

For someone who travels to wineries and vineyards, we have discovered wine bottle totes that provide protection for those memorable bottles of wine you would like to return home with and share. Last year we received our first Built NY product in the form of a Christmas gift. The Built NY two-bottle totes work perfectly for us as they fit easily into a suitcase with the wine bottles. When not in use they are flat and take little room. These totes are made of neoprene. The totes protect and provide insulation for the wine. The bottles don’t clang together and the totes provide a sense of security for the wine enthusiast. From my use with the totes for traveling, I believe these are well made and I’m glad to own two of them. Check out what’s available at Built NY.

At one winery we visited, we obtained a Wine Skin, a bottle-shaped wine bottle protector. Made of bubble wrap material, this is inexpensive but according to the information on it, it is intended for one time use. These may be a good stocking stuffers.
