Wine Gift – The Top Selection for 2009 That Won’t Break The Bank

The holidays are upon us once again and it is time to come up with a gift idea that will be a hit with family and friends. In this article, we take a look at the top wine gift for 2009 that will not break the old bank account.

Wine is often thought of us as an expensive hobby. While it can be, it doesn’t have to be. How many of us have enjoyed the guilty pleasure of a quality $2 buck chuck bottle of wine recently? Come on, admit it! Regardless, wine doesn’t have to be an expensive endeavor and neither do wine-oriented gifts. Let’s take a look at a real winner this year.

The single hottest wine gift this year is the Nomad Wine Tasting Journal from NomadJournals.com. The company usually makes writing journals for outdoor activities like travel, hiking, bird watching and so on. This year, it came out with the wine journal and it is a must have for wine lovers.

The wine journal is unique because it isn’t just blank. The designer, Todd Hakanson, has thought through the journal and come up with something that takes into account all the joy of wine tasting. Instead of turning pages right to left, the pages go top to bottom. This is because a space is provided on the top page for you to paste in the label from the wine you are drinking. You just soak the bottle in some warm water for five minutes and the label will slide off. You just place it on the page, apply a bit of pressure and the label glue will firm up again.

The bottom page is also well thought out. It provides you with a number of blank lines to record your impression of the wine in question. Can’t think of anything? No problem. There are also question queries provided to get you moving on subjects such as the body of the wine, age, price, who you were drinking with and so on. The purpose of the page is to create a record of your experience and it accomplishes this very nicely.

So, what does it cost? Well, there are three choices. You can get just the journal for $15. As a second option, you can buy it with a cloth case to protect it from the inevitable wine spills for $27. For an additional $2 bucks, you can upgrade from a cloth to leather case.
