Wine & Beer

We love most any beer that comes out of Brooklyn Brewery, but their Oktoberfest is a special seasonal treat. With sweet, bready malts and German noble hops, it's a New York spin on a German classic. Prost!

Bright Cellars
$100.00

This gift truly eliminates the often anxiety-inducing task of selecting a bottle of wine for someone. Do they like it sweet, dry, or heavy on the tannins? Who knows?! With this subscription service, you don’t actually need to know. Just purchase a plan, then when the recipient receives it, they’ll go online and answer a simple questionnaire that reveals bottles they’re likely to love.

5 / 9
Craft Beer Club
$47.95

The country is dotted with thousands of craft breweries. And, while it would be a fun challenge to travel to as many of them as possible, getting a few delivered to the door of a beer-loving pal will be a heck of a lot faster. With this subscription, recipients get 12 bottles or cans a month, giving them an opportunity to sample the best of what small, independent brewers are currently hopped up about.

These French reds are très bien. Help a wine lover in your life go on a tour of the French countryside without leaving their couch. This collection includes tastes of three different styles of cabernet sauvignon. Ooh la la.

90+ Cellars Wine Shop
$50.00

The mission of this brand is to provide access to great wine at a price that most people can stomach.

It’s a win-win for everyone involved.

Drizly
$24.99

Brewed by Talea Beer Co., New York City’s first brewery and taproom owned by all women, this can has some kick thanks to an 8% ABV. The brewery prides itself on highly drinkable beers that go down easy and this double IPA — brewed with oats and wheat, giving off notes of lemon and white peppercorn — definitely delivers on that promise.

8 / 18
Stanley
$20.00

Stanley, the brand behind the bestselling Stanley Adventure Quencher Tumbler that's constantly sold out, is known for making insulated drinkware that's ideal for the active outdoorsy person — or really anyone who's always on the go.

12 / 18
Williams Sonoma
$44.95

Made of vegan leather and durable jute, this wine tote is a much more stylish way to bring a bottle to a BYO restaurant or over to a friend’s house for dinner than just carrying the bottle on its own. Idea: Give it to someone with their favorite bottles of wine inside.

Food52
$119.00

Bringing home some beer from a local brewery is always great, but finishing it while it’s still fresh can be a real chore. This innovative growler has a CO2 regulator cap that helps keep air out and adds carbonation when someone is ready to draw a brewski from the included tap. The beer inside will stay fresh for up to two weeks, and the double-wall insulated sides ensure it will stay cold all day long (even outside of the fridge).

Just for Fun

$5.00

This pick would make an excellent present topper (who needs a bow, anyway?), or a cute little addition to any of these gifts for wine lovers who also happen to love plants! Sure, it’s just a cork that’s attached to a magnet with a tiny little succulent popping out of the top, but you have to admit, it is adorable! We bet it would look great on any fridge door.

Some people like a challenge. If you know someone who enjoys one and loves beer (that’s a must for this gift), then this pick is for them. This poster lists 100 craft beers from around the globe. Once sampled, your giftee can scratch that part of the poster off. Part of the fun is tracking down all of the different brews (and drinking them, too, of course).

Zootility
$39.95

Help your pal relive their college days with this slimmed-down version of a classic game that a few of us might like to forget: beer pong. This upgraded design is a little more suitable for the modern home (though it might work best in a garage or other place where the in-laws won’t easily spot it). The cup holders are removable, leaving behind an understated piece of wooden art for the wall.
