Every wine lover should have a wine bucket in their home.
They are great for entertaining large groups and keeping multiple bottles cold at once. They come in different sizes. Some fit just one bottle and some will fit multiple bottles.

A less expensive version of a wine cooler is a wine rack. They’re available at a number of home improvement stores and bring a sense of organization and order to a corner filled with wine bottles.

Corkscrews are inexpensive and, of course, very necessary to open a bottle and enjoy it.
