Each box includes cans from award-winning, small wine producers. You’ll also receive a guide linking to complimentary tasting videos to accompany each wine. You can pre-order this 12-day Advent calendar now for $20 off. Your calendar will ship the first week of November.

For the person who always adds ice cubes: 3-in-1 wine bottle cooler stick

This all-in-one wine accessory combines a chiller, filter and pourer, ensuring you can enjoy a perfectly chilled glass of wine at the ideal temperature. The stainless-steel chiller rod rapidly cools your wine without diluting its flavor like ice would. With a drip-free pouring spout, you won’t have to worry about spills. It even includes an extra rubber stopper to preserve the freshness of your wine. 

To use, just place the chiller stick in the freezer for a minimum of two hours, open your wine to let it aerate, and then pour. The stick keeps your wine chilled for up to an hour.

“Great product,” an Amazon customer says. “I gifted this to my sister in law for Christmas and we have used it numerous times already. Awesome for parties.”
