Available to buy from Amazon, these spill-proof wine glasses will ensure that even the clumsiest of drinkers can enjoy their wine stress-free this Valentine’s Day. Gesticulate all you want – even the most over-enthusiastic of elbows will struggle to send the wine tumbling from this clever tumbler.

3. Give the gift of expertly preserved wine that will ensure your special bottle lasts

Coravin’s innovative Wine Preservation System is designed to pour wine without the need to remove the cork.

6. Keep cool even when things get steamy with these clever chilled wine glasses

There’s nothing romantic about warm white wine, so while things might get a little hot under the collar on Valentine’s Day, these chilled wine glasses will keep your white wine at the perfect temperature throughout its time in the vessel. The glasses use a proprietary gel to keep the wine chilled and a silicone band that ensures they’re comfortable to hold.
