Everyone has one: the friend who brings a bottle to every party, the aunt with a “wine o’clock” sign in the kitchen, the coworker who knows which grape goes with pizza. This list is for them, and it has more than funny glasses.
Back in 2020 this page was all quarantine wine glasses. Those jokes have aged about as well as sourdough starters, so here’s a fresh list for 2026: a few laughs, a few gadgets they’ll actually use and a couple of party favorites. Shopping for a coworker? Try our funny Secret Santa gifts instead.
How this list works: these are gift ideas, not one exact product each. Every link opens an Amazon search, so you can pick the brand, design and price that fit. Check the listing and the reviews before you buy.

Glasses and cups
1. Funny etched wine glass
The classic. A stemless glass etched with a joke about wine, the holidays or the family group chat. Pick a line that sounds like them and it becomes their favorite glass by New Year.

2. Insulated wine tumbler with a lid
A stemless tumbler with a lid that keeps wine cold outside and stops spills on the couch. Many come with a funny line printed on the side, so it’s a joke and a useful cup in one.

For the bottle
3. Funny wine bottle holder
A sculpture that holds one bottle at a silly angle: a skeleton, a cat, a fish, a guy carrying the bottle on his back. It’s decor, storage and a conversation starter.

4. Ugly sweater wine bottle covers
Tiny knitted sweaters for wine bottles. Dress up the bottle you bring to the party and the host gets a gift and a laugh before the cork comes out.

Gadgets that actually help
5. Electric wine opener
Press a button and the cork comes out. It’s the gift for the wine lover who still fights every bottle with a cheap corkscrew, or anyone with sore hands.

6. Wine aerator pourer
A pour spout that adds air as the wine goes into the glass. Whether they taste a difference or not, they’ll enjoy explaining it to everyone at dinner.

7. Wine chiller stick
A frozen rod that goes into the bottle to keep it cold while they pour. No ice bucket, no watered-down wine, no running to the fridge.

8. Funny wine bottle stoppers
Stoppers shaped like animals, skulls or tiny gnomes that keep an open bottle fresh for another night. Cheap enough to bundle with any of the gifts above.

11. Wine tasting party game
A blind-tasting kit with cards and bottle covers, so friends can guess which bottle is which. It turns an ordinary wine night into a competition with bragging rights.

For the serious ones
12. Wine tasting journal
A notebook for rating bottles, so next time they remember the good one and not just the label with the dog on it.

How to pick a gift for a wine lover
- Funny plus useful wins. Pair a joke glass with a stopper or a chiller stick, and it gets used every week.
- Know their color. Chiller sticks make the most sense for white and rose drinkers. Aerators are for red fans.
- Bring the bottle, too. Any of these gifts plus their favorite bottle makes a great host gift.
- Order early. Shipping gets slow in mid-December, so order by early December.
FAQ
What’s a good funny gift for a wine lover?

What do you get a wine lover who has everything?
Something that makes the wine itself more fun: a blind-tasting game, a wine journal or a funny bottle holder for the counter.
Is wine itself a good Christmas gift?
Yes, if you know what they like. Pair a bottle with one of the gifts above so it feels personal, not like a last-minute grab at the store.
