Once my backyard renovation is completed, it will hold a shed with a built-in bar for entertaining. I’m going to need to stock that bar with glasses and accessories, and I think this will be a very fun shopping trip.

I love this Ozeri Nouveaux II electric wine opener set with a free foil cutter, wine pourer and stopper. This is a totally useful tool and would make a great wedding shower gift. Was $79.99, now $38.68.

These Kane Home hoop wine goblets are perfect for the great outdoors and I love the red accenting, which matches well with the red cushions. Was $46, now $7!

I love this Oenophilia wine bar rack, which may have to stay in the house, but would also work well in the shed. Was $48, now $42.87.

Amazon offers free shipping on orders over $25.

There are not too many things better than a glass of wine at the end of the day. I am not the pickiest person when it comes to wine, but I do want one with a good flavour, not too dry and at the right temperature. I’ve come a long way from the days when I used to put an ice cube into my red wine.

The Corkcicle keeps your reds and whites at the right temperature. If your room temperature red is just a little too warm, the Corkcicle will cool it down just enough to be palatable. Your already-chilled white wine will stay chilled without an ice bucket or being put back in the refrigerator. You can keep it right with you and not have to make frequent trips back to the kitchen for another glass. This is great for parties too, when the bottle will be left on the table.

It is so simple to use too. Just three easy steps and you’ve got a cold Corkcicle ready for your next bottle. This makes a really great gift idea. I like the idea of giving my kid’s teachers a bottle of wine at the end of the school year. The problem is that it can be a touchy situation asking someone if they drink or not. Giving the Corkcicle sidesteps that discussion because this is something functional and if they don’t drink wine, they could give it away as a gift to someone else, but no one will be offended.

You can buy unlimited vouchers for this deal and shipping is an extra $3.99.

For a refined way of drinking wine, check out this Blade decanting pourer, which provides proper aeration for your wine. Now only $15, regularly $26.50.

Another take on aeration is to use a wine breather, a bottle that you pour the wine into and can directly serve from. Regularly $55, now only $30.

Of course you have to open the bottle of wine first and this Bilame opener keeps the cork intact, because who likes pulling tiny pieces of cork out of a vintage? Regularly $20, now only $10.

Shipping is free from Chapters on orders over $25.

Make your own wine kits are on sale at Costco Canada for $15 off.

I have never made my own wine, but since wine is one of my most favourite things in the world, I think I’d like to try, especially when it can be as easy as buying a kit from Costco. We rarely have wine on hand because we buy as we go, so when guests come over, I don’t have it to offer to them and I’d like that to change.

These make your own wine kits from Costco look great and all of them are $15 off. To get them delivered, a person over 19 years old has to make the purchase and be there at delivery to accept. Sorry kids, this one is not for you. You will need 60 bottles, which you can probably buy, use your own that you may have saved, or as a neighbour of mine once did, beg, borrow and steal on recycling day. The kit will make 60 bottles of wine and includes the 60 corks, shrink wraps and wine labels. It also includes two 7-litre bags of grape juice concentrate and two sets of additive packs. Everything is 100% food grade (I’d definitely hope so!) and GMO free. They also 100% guarantee satisfaction, so if it ends up being a bust for whatever reason, you get your money back. I’ve never purchased an individual wine that offered that kind of guarantee, although many times I wish it did. If you have any allergies to sulphites or shellfish, this kit is not for you.

The first kit I see is the Argentia Ridge Chateau Private Selection White Zinfandel. This wine is off-dry, medium-bodied with impressive varietal character and a strawberry pink colour with delicate fruity aromas. They say this is a great summer wine, and it sounds so refreshing and smooth. Regularly $99.99, get it for $84.99.

If you are more into the red like me, the Argentia Ridge Chateau Private Selection Pinot Noir is a great choice. It is a medium-bodied red wine with flavours of ripe cherries and spice with lively acidity and soft tannins. Sounds divine. Also only $84.99, from $99.99.

For the white drinkers, the Argentia Ridge Chateau Private Selection Pinot Grigio is great. I don’t favour white, but if I do drink it, I drink Pinot Grigio. With a fresh finish and intense flavours of apple, pear and melon, this wine sounds delicious. This one had a five-star review and is also on sale for $84.99.

Shipping is included in the price.

I do love a good bottle of wine, but I hate messing around trying to open and pour, and to restore it if I don’t drink it all.  This set tackles all of those issues as well as looking quite elegant when you have company over.
