Keep your Wine Decanter sparkling clean with our cleaning accessories
Wednesday, May 22, 2019
Decanter glass itself can often get stained, however, due to the natural tannins and pigments present in wine. Hence, a decanter needs to be thoroughly cleaned to ensure that it doesn’t hamper the aroma of the wine over time. So how do you go about cleaning your decanter, ensuring it ends up sparkling clean?
Wine Ageing Tool: The perfect gift for wine lovers
Tuesday, April 23, 2019
As tannins and acids soften, your wine becomes more enjoyable, and the aroma and the flavours also get enhanced which would typically happen only after ageing your wine the traditional way for a longer time.

What is the Importance of a Wine cellar Hygrometer & Thermometer
Friday, September 14, 2018
The temperature should be kept at a constant level so as to ensure that the quality of your wine collection remains intact. The humidity levels should also be right to keep the corks moist but help prevent damp and mildew forming. Fluctuations in the temperature and relative humidity can spoil the wine and hence a hygrometer and thermometer is one of the most important accessories required in a wine cellar.
Why You Need Tulip Champagne Glasses
Wednesday, September 05, 2018
Bringing out the best in your champagne is all about the movement of the bubbles in the drink. These aren’t just there to look nice, they have an important role to play. And the right flute ensures that they do their job well!

Wine Ice Buckets - Best option to keep your wine Cool
Sunday, January 28, 2018
Wine is best drunk at the appropriate right temperature. Most white wine at room temperature is not so appetising and wine if chilled beyond a certain point loses its fine flavour.

The first consideration in that case should be storage and a storage option which is a good one since wine bottles are special.

Guide to Choosing Champagne Bowls
Saturday, January 14, 2017
Champagne is the best from amongst the world of sparkling wines. Nothing puts the ultimate seal on a special occasion like the sound of the pop of a cork from a champagne bottle. However to make the most of your bottle of Champagne, it needs to be served at the right temperature. The ideal temperature at which champagne is consumed is between 45ºF and 48ºF i.e. 7ºC-9ºC. Ideally champagne is refrigerated to bring it to this temperature so as to enhance its taste before serving.

Changing Seasons
Tuesday, October 18, 2016
Summer has now given way to Autumn and Summer activities such as Tennis and Cricket have given way to other outdoor pursuits such as Shooting and Hunting (think Hip Flasks!) and watching Football or other Winter Sports (again think Hip Flasks!). The focus for wine accessories has also moved away from wine and champagne coolers - ice buckets and even acrylic wine glasses suitable for outdoor entertaining and picnics. Although Champagne white and rose wines still need to be chilled, for indoor entertaining more elegant items more suited for Dinner Parties are required – Claret Jugs and Decanters are a must when entertaining your guests and are sure to impress! as would our magnificent Champagne 4 hole cooler with foot.
Wine Chillers For the Outdoors
Thursday, August 18, 2016
Check out this Vacu Vin wine cooler for instance. Just put it in the freezer for some time and place it over the bottle later to keep it cool. Your bottle will be chilled within 5 minutes and will stay that way for 2/3 hours at least.

Wine bottle stacks

AntiOx Wine Preserver
Tuesday, February 23, 2016
There are a few options available. One is that you have the Vacu Vin Wine Saver that helps prevent the deterioration of wine once opened. This wine saver can simply be placed in the neck of the wine which later pumps out the air. There are variants available that are suitable for sparkling wines as well. There are Original Inert Gas Aerosol Wine Preservers as well.
The simplest one however is this AntiOx wine preserver that simply pops onto the bottle firmly and requires no pumping. The micro filter in the top keeps opened bottles as fresh as any other preservers that have been tried and tested. This product has been tested for its efficiency and has had proven results of preserving the flavour for over 10 days and has also markedly outperformed vacuum systems. The special patented filter in the stopper and its silicone construction forms a tight hermetic seal on the bottle which helps preserve the flavour and halts oxidation too. The best feature of this stopper is however the date recording system which helps you keep track.
Decanters Are Essential and not just another wine accessory
Friday, January 08, 2016
Decanters are essential if you want to relish the wine at its best
So how does a decanter help in enhancing the wine?
- Aeration. It is a well known fact that wine is generally enhanced by exposure to air. The more it gets exposed the better! Once you pour the wine into the glass it gets aerated to an extent. But pouring wine into the decanters help in aerating the wine even more. The decanters are made in such a way that the large surface of the decanters offer greater exposure to air and thus it gets aerated thoroughly. Aerating the wine enhances it by softening it and developing the aromas further. Decanting helps even the cheaper wines to an extent
- Sedimentation. Older wines often have a degree of sedimentation that accumulates at the bottom of a wine bottle. It is best not to drink this. By decanting wine into a decanter one can avoid pouring the seddiment into the decanter and thus make it easier to avoid any seddiment entering the wine glass when pouring from the decanter
Fine Wine Accessories offers a good variety of wine decanters. Right from the simple ones to the ornate and unusually shaped decanters, the variety is stunning.
The Ships decanters for instance which were traditionally used by Royal Navy ships are characterized by a broader base as compared to the others and there are some classy options available.
If you are looking for something fun we have a whole range of unusually designed duck decanters that come in the shape of a duck. Other options include Symphony Decanter, Prestige Decanter, and Sovereign Decanter etc.
The other available decanters include the Burgundy Vendanges Decanter, Concerto Decanter, the Spiegelau Angelo Decanter, the Hoggett Decanter etc. Unique looks and stunning appearances make these decanters make exquisite gift options too!

Tastevins and Spittoons
Tuesday, October 27, 2015
To the layman these names are a little strange sounding but Tastevins and Spittoons these are commonly used by wine tasters at the wine tastings.
Tastevins and Spittoons happen to be one of the oldest accessories used for wine tasting and date back to the 300 B.C. Even today the Tastevins haven’t lost their charm and importance when it comes to wine tasting and are used by the cellar masters, enthusiasts and wine connoisseurs alike. Tastevins are by far one of the best accessories for analysing the color and clarity of your wine.
We stock lots of different shapes of Tastevins such as the Pewter Burgundian Tastevin, an ideal accessory often used at tastings by both professionals and enthusiastic amateurs alike. The Plain Tastevin with Serpent Handle is a wine tasting dish that looks good and comes in handy for displaying the colour and nose of the wine. The wine Tastevins, Quaiches and spittoons look quite ornate and are excellent wine associated gifts for some special occasions.
Spittoons are, though it sounds a little strange, as the name suggests used for spitting wine rather than drinking it at a tasting. It is not considered rude to spit out wine at a wine tasting and generally individual spittoons are provided for the same. At fine wine accessories we have a wide variety of spittoons including spittoon buckets, stainless steel and plastic hourglass spittoons etc.

Clef du Vin
Tuesday, September 23, 2014
A scientifically-designed measuring device, Clef du Vin allows you to optimise the tasting, selection and laydown time of your wines. Effective on all wine (white, red, dry, sweet etc) Clef du Vin immediately reveals your wines’ ageing potential over the years to come.
Entertaining and Easy to use The Clef du Vin is dipped into a 10cl glass of wine. For each second that the disc is submerged, the taste and aroma of the wine will be modified, "ageing" the wine by the equivalent of one year. Commence by pouring yourself a glass of wine (10cl), taste and memorise. Dip the Clef du Vin disk into the glass for one second, taste again and compare. Dip the Clef du Vin disk into the glass for two seconds, taste again and compare. Repeat the operation until the wine deteriorates. If after several dips (or a continuous dip of a few seconds), the wine remains pleasant or improves, you can buy with confidence, it will age well. If the wine deteriorates after one or two seconds of contact, the wine has little or no ageing capacity, and should be drunk soon.
When drinking Young Wines with Clef du Vin you can appreciate the real potential of an immature wine in a matter of seconds. Red wines will see their tannins softening, and their roundness appearing. The acidity of dry white wines will be diminished, revealing the subtle flavours of the fruit while sweet white wines will become richer.
Clef du Vin allows you to enjoy today the full potential of a lay down wine, which would have otherwise waited for years. Disclaimer The Clef du Vin accelerates the natural ageing process of wines. Consequently, wines with no ageing capacity may not improve and may actually deteriorate as a result of using Clef du Vin. (It will not turn "plonk" into a fine wine!)
Thermometers and Hygrometers
Wednesday, August 27, 2014
Wine if too cold could mask it's complexities - if too warm, even with the most amazing of flavours it may land up taking a back seat to the alcohol. To bring out the best in your wines it is essential to serve the wine at the correct temperature. We provide a good range of wine thermometers and wine hygrometers for you to make sure that your wine is served at just the right temperature. Needless to say, serving the wine at the right temperature will surely enhance the wine drinking experience. After serving, the storing and preservation of the wine is even more important. With the right temperature, preserving and developing the wine becomes easy. Our range of top quality wine cellar thermometers and wine cellar hygrometers will make the job easier and keep your valuable contents safe and sound by helping you to maintain the right kind of temperatures for the proper preservation and development of your wine.

Tuesday, May 13, 2014

The Graal Decanter
Thursday, May 01, 2014
Over the past 10 years we have sold many Claret Jugs and Decanters both traditional and modern, quirky and purely practical, inexpensive as well as top quality. Our favourite and possible our best-selling is Spiegelau's amazing Graal Decanter - not only does it look amazing (causing great admiration and comment around the Dinner table) and is beautifully made, but it acts as one of the most efficient aerators there is. One of our tips is to pour the wine straight into the middle of the Bowl from as high as you dare (without risking an accident!) and with it's huge surface it soon 'softens' your wine bring out it's full potential.
Wedding Gifts
Monday, April 21, 2014
As we head towards late Spring and hopefully a glorious Summer! the Wedding Season really gets into full swing and Wine Accessories make great Wedding presents. Wine and Champagne Glasses are always acceptable and our new range of glasses from Lehmann Glassware offer exceptional Quality and Value. Claret Jugs and Decanters are still one of our biggest selling Wedding Gifts – maybe a Ships Decanter as something a little different!
It's not just for the Bride and Groom that wine accessories are so ideal, they also make great Gifts for the Best Man and Ushers – Hip Flasks are a great favourite for Ushers and how about something a little more special for the Best Man – a Champagne Sabre possibly!
Easter (2)
Wednesday, April 09, 2014
Please remember to order in plenty of time for delivery in time for Easter, we would hate to disappoint! We thought it a good idea to mention some unusual wine accessories which make great gifts for any occasion – not just Easter. Our Butlers Thief corkscrew has been one of our best selling wine accessories since we started over 10 years ago and creates plenty of amusement and comments when used! Other slightly different items include our Champagne Pliers to remove those stubborn corks, or a Champagne Star equally useful! What about a Left-handed Corkscrew ? Or possibly a Whisky Quaich – particularly popular in Scotland ? With gifts like these you won't be accused of being unoriginal!

Mothers Day
Monday, March 24, 2014
Wine Accessories are possibly not the first type of present that comes to mind for Mums on Mothering Sunday. Alas we are unable to sell Champagne or Wine which would possibly make one of the most acceptable gifts, we can suggest however some great Champagne Accessories to make the occasion even more memorable! Any Mum would be delighted to receive this amazing Champagne Flute and be really touched by the thought behind the Gift! A silver plated Champagne cork key ring or maybe a Champagne Cork paperweight would also be greatly appreciated. We only hope that Mum is not tee-total!

2013 Vintage in France – Not all gloom
Monday, September 09, 2013
The long,wet winter helped replenish the soil with water, which allowed the vines to withstand the scorching temperatures of July well. Unfortunately, the end of July and the first days of August saw violent hailstorms in the French vineyards which will reduce yields considerably.
The weather in late August suggests a degree of optimism, especially the hot days which have been offset by cool nights and a light wind which is able to ward off fungal diseases and promote slow maturity.
Overall, 2013 should be a very interesting vintage year with the daytime heat offset by cool nights in August for a slow and good-quality phenolic maturity. However, no definitive conclusions about this later-than-usual harvest may be drawn until the grapes have been picked. Storms could still change things.
Although we do not supply wine itself remember us for all your Wine Accessory requirements.
Attention all Hotels, Pubs and Restaurants!

The Champagne Flute is without doubt the most popular champagne glass and we offer a huge range of these. The House of Spiegelau in Bavaria in Germany is without doubt one of the premier glassware manufacturers in the world and we are proud to have a large range of their Champagne Glasses and Flutes on our website. Champagne Saucers which were so much a part of the ‘Roaring Twenties’ during the last Century are once again proving popular – particularly with the ‘in’ set! in London.
Good quality glassware is essential in enhancing the enjoyment of drinking wine (particularly Champagne) and our range of fine and everyday Champagne Flutes and Glasses offer both quality and excellent value and choice.

New Zealand 2013 Vintage
Monday, August 12, 2013
The North Island (Gisborne,Hawkes Bay,Martinborough etc) had frost problems in spring which reduced yields in some areas, however the rest of the summer was good enough to produce some really great wines see Craggy Range.
The South Island (Marlborough etc) again, like in the Northern Hemisphere had a cold Spring but that gave way to a good Summer that produced some very good quality wines with moderate yields (Pinot Noir especially with Sauvignon Blanc looking promising).
Our latest Decanter – The Cetra – certainly would compliment the serving of any New Zealand Pinot Noir!

Wine – English Vineyards
Monday, July 22, 2013
‘’ The dry warm conditions over the last few weeks have coincided with the flowering and pollination of this year’s crop which is the best possible weather for good pollination and fruit set. The crop looks to be significantly up on previous years. This is the first year that Denbies will make a Sauvignon Blanc from vines grown on their own estate and this very late ripening variety is also flowering and looks like setting a good crop. ‘’
Remember our great range of Wine Glasses and Champagne Flutes will compliment English Wine perfectly!
