We absolutely love the selection of drinks-themed jigsaw puzzles available from Bamboozled. Not only are these puzzles a great way to relax and occupy minds over the hectic Christmas period, they are impressively detailed and a great way to get to grips with the geography of some of the world’s most famous wine regions – the ultimate gift for any aspiring wine student. Choose from Champagne, Bordeaux and the Whiskies of Scotland – and receive 5% off when you purchase two or more!

The Jancis Robinson Collection

It has been a busy year for one of the world’s most renowned wine critics! Jancis Robinson has both published the 8th Edition of the World Atlas of Wine in partnership with wine writer Hugh Johnson and launched her very own range of handmade glassware in a collaboration with respected designer Richard Brendon.
The World Atlas of Wine is the ultimate book for any wine lover – the 8th edition has been extensively updated, with new regions and new information reflecting the pace of the ever-changing world of wine. This book is defined by its gorgeous maps and a wealth of information on all the major and developing wine regions of the world. With its teal green cover (or claret red for those in the USA) it’s also a gorgeous addition to any bookshelf.

Meanwhile, if you’re less of a reader and more of a drinker, then Jancis’ new glassware collection is the one for you. This gorgeous range of handmade glassware includes The Wine Glass, designed to bring out the best in any style of wine (and therefore removing the need to own multiple glasses in different styles!), decanters for young and old wine, and water glasses and carafes. Hand-blown by master craftsmen, this range is impressively high-quality and will bring style and sophistication to any dinner table.
Coravin

The ultimate wine preservation system (and one of the most attractive), the impressively techy Coravin allows users to pour wine without removing the cork, preserving the remaining wine to be drunk another day – incredibly useful if you’re craving a glass but don’t want an entire bottle! Easy to use and available in a wide range of colours and styles, the Coravin is the perfect gift for any gadget lover.
Prices start from £199 for a Model One Coravin System, shop the full range here!
