Top 5 Gifts for the Bartender
1) Choose Your State Beer Cap Trap
Torched Products: Choose Your State Beer Cap Trap - Minnesota
2) Elite Spirits Glass
The NEAT Glass: Elite Spirits Glass - 4 Pack
3) Anatomy Coaster Set, Bar
Pick a libation and learn a little something. This drink coaster set highlights fun facts and interesting info about whiskey, wine, and beer, and celebrates each one with charming illustrations. Cheers to that.
4) Slow Wine Pourer
A slow wine pourer is the best way to serve delicate and older wines. The Vacu Vin tool pours wine from the bottom of the bottle straight to the bottom of your glass slowly. This means there is minimal exposure to oxygen, which can zap freshness and affect taste. This slower method gives an aged bottle of cabernet sauvignon or Bordeaux the special treatment it deserves.
5) Set of Two Reusable Wine Caps
A reusable cap to reseal an open bottle of wine between glasses or overnight so the bottle can be laid on its side without leaking. It also can fit in the fridge door without rearranging the contents.
