WHAT'S ON YOUR CHRISTMAS LIST? 

At Wine Kitz Ottawa Iris we have so many great ideas to thrill the wine lovers on your Christmas list. 
Last week I took a few minutes to share some of them with Jeff Hopper on CTV Morning Live.
 
Here are just a few of the ideas we have for you:

Smooth Move™ Bottle Opener  $25.00 
I've never found a bottle opener as easy to use as the Smooth Move™. No effort at all is required to uncork a bottle. Available in black. 

Wine Bit™ Spiral Corkscrew  $35.00
Same easy opening as the Smooth Move™Glitzy black and silver design.

Final Touch™ Electric Corkscrew  
$45.00
 
Removes a cork in seconds with a touch of the button. Lithium-ion battery provides a longer battery life and slower self-discharge. Stainless steel body. 

Vinturi™ Travel Wine Aerator   $38.00
Travel in style and taste. The Vinturi Travel™incorporates the same aeration as the original  Vinturi™ so you enjoy a better bouquet, enhanced flavours and smoother finish wherever you drink wine. 
 
Nuance™ Wine Finer   $38.00 
As many of you know, I brought this tool back from BC a few years ago. The sommeliers in the Okanagan wineries were raving about their Nuance™ Wine Finers
This sleek and amazing Danish invention combines an aerator, filter, non-spill pourer and stopper into one do-it-all instrument the size of a fountain pen. This is one tool that our customers keep coming back to tell me how great it is. We sell hundreds of these every year.

The Bottle Bin™     $18.00
What a great alternative to cardboard boxes. The Bottle Bin™ is a much cleaner, safer way to organize and transport your wine. Each bin accommodates 15 bottles.
 
Wine Crate   $15.00
wein case
Black plastic crate to carry 6 wines. Configure a wine rack with them. Use them to tote your wines to friends and family. Bring them when you bottle your batches. Unbelievably convenient and so easy to carry. Available in black.
 
Wine Away™ - Red Wine Stain Remover
Truly magical is all we can say about this product. Watch how it works. I can't tell you how many times it has saved me. 12 oz spray bottle.
$15.00

The WineWatch™   $20.00
Enhance your wine experience by using our WineWatch™ to ensure your wine is served at its ideal temperature. Suggested wine temperatures are conveniently marked on the back. The LCD display is large, bright and easy to read with Cº or Fº settings and auto on/off.

Fridge Stacker™  $12.00
I love these. No more bottles rolling around in the fridge. 1 Stacker™ organizes 3 bottles. Split the Stacker™ into 2, and organize up to 10 bottles easily and efficiently. Add additional Stacker™ sets for even more wine storage. 
 
We have can Stackers too. The silicone non-slip base organizes up to 15 cans of your favourite beverage.
$6.00  

KOOL Twister™    $22.00
The Kool Twister™ is the perfect solution for keeping white wines chilled for up to 1 hour or cooling down red wines within 15 minutes. Wine experts agree: "nothing can influence the taste of a good bottle of wine more than the temperature". We sold out of these twice last year.

Stainless Steel Wine Bottle Coaster   $20.00
No more stains or marks on the tabletop! Polished base with brushed stainless steel top. Holds champagne & magnum sized bottles too.

Drying Mat   $10.00
These silicone mats are so perfect for drying your fragile stemware. Great for many other uses too.

Wine Glass Brush   $9.00
Tell me one wine lover who wouldn't like to have one of these in their kitchen.

Screw Bottle Toppers   $5.00
Useful and fun at the same time. These colourful bottle toppers make great stocking stuffers. 
 
And there's more...

* Wine kit of your choice
* 30 wine bottles
