10 indispensable accessories for wine

The ability to open wine bottles and pour it into appropriate glasses does not make you a cavista - an expert in alcohol. In order to properly handle wine, you need several devices, owning which you can easily gain the fame of a connoisseur.
Rack for wine bottles "wine honeycomb" by WineHive
This stylish modular aluminum rack will easily fit into your interior, decorating a sideboard or a cupboard. It is lightweight, durable and more convenient than a separate bulky wooden rack.

Wine knife Code38
This knife with a low-friction corkscrew prevents the cork from breaking when opening a bottle, as its particles will spoil the wine's exquisite taste if they get into the wine. The surface of the knife will not lose its physical properties even after opening thousands of bottles, which justifies the high price.

Professional electric corkscrew by Waring
You just need to put it to the neck of the bottle, and it will remove the cork without breaking its integrity. The corkscrew is quiet and fast, and the built-in battery is long enough to open bottles without additional recharging at any special event with many guests, such as a wedding.
The price of a Waring corkscrew: 29$
Electronic wine aerator Vinaera
Vinaera pumps air into the drink, saturating it with oxygen. So there's no need to force the wine to "breathe" to bring out the flavors, you can pour it into glasses as soon as you open the bottle. In addition, the aerator will not allow the wine to sour in an already opened bottle.

Wine cooler Corkcicle
This cooler, made of stainless steel, is filled with refrigerant, which gives white wine the proper temperature. But this is not its only function. Wine can be poured directly through the spout of the cooler with a built-in aerator, again necessary to wake up the aromas without waiting for the wine to "breathe".
Corkcicle price: 50$
Musical glasses with major key divisions
