Whether you're shopping for a birthday, Christmas or just because, these wine-themed gifts hit the sweet spot between practical and hilarious. They're ideal for friends who quote wine tasting notes at dinner parties, colleagues who always bring a bottle to celebrations, or family members whose kitchen is basically a wine bar.
Every item ships from our UK warehouse, so you can get your gift sorted quickly. Browse through presents that range from genuinely useful accessories with a funny twist to pure novelty items that'll get pride of place on display.
Why Funny Wine Gifts Work
Wine lovers are usually pretty relaxed people who appreciate a good joke. They know they're a bit obsessed with their favourite drink, and they're fine with it. That makes them perfect recipients for humorous presents.
The best wine gifts acknowledge someone's passion while having a laugh about it. A mug that says something cheeky about wine o'clock works because it's relatable. A novelty bottle stopper shaped like something ridiculous works because it's actually useful but makes people smile.
These presents also work well for different budgets. You can find brilliant funny wine accessories for under a tenner, or go bigger with more elaborate novelty items. Either way, you're giving something that shows you understand what makes them happy.
Wine gifts suit loads of occasions too. They're perfect for Secret Santa in the office, housewarming presents when someone moves into their first place with room for a wine rack, or milestone birthdays for the friend who's turned their kitchen into a personal tasting room.
The humour adds personality to what could otherwise be a standard gift. Instead of just another corkscrew, you're giving a corkscrew with a funny message. Instead of regular wine glass markers, you're giving ones with jokes on them. It's that extra thought that makes people remember your gift long after they've opened it.
Who Are These Gifts For?
The Social Wine Drinker
Your friend who insists every situation calls for wine. Brunch? Prosecco. Tuesday evening? Bottle of red. Beach picnic? Rosé in plastic cups. They've got an opinion on every grape variety and they're not afraid to share it. Funny wine gifts that celebrate their enthusiasm make perfect presents.
The Amateur Sommelier
They're not professionally trained, but they've watched enough videos to have strong opinions about tannins. They'll swirl, sniff and make thoughtful faces before declaring a £7 bottle "surprisingly complex." They own multiple decanters and actually use them. Humorous gifts that gently mock wine snobbery will make them laugh at themselves.
The Stress Reliever
For them, wine isn't just a drink, it's a lifestyle choice. After dealing with work deadlines, family chaos or just general life admin, that glass of wine is sacred. They've got a favourite spot on the sofa and a favourite glass. Presents that acknowledge wine as essential stress relief will speak to their soul.
The Party Starter
Always the person who brings bottles to gatherings. They know what wine pairs with what food, but more importantly, they know what wine keeps a party going. Their house parties always have a decent selection. Wine accessories that are conversation starters suit them perfectly.
The Wine Tourist
They plan holidays around vineyard tours. Their photo albums are full of them holding glasses in beautiful locations. They've done wine tasting in multiple countries and love telling those stories. Novelty items that reference wine culture and travel hit the spot.
Popular Types of Funny Wine Gifts
Wine Glass Accessories
Wine glasses get funnier when you add the right touches. Markers that help people identify their glass at parties come with jokes instead of just names. Charms that clip onto stems feature sayings that make people chuckle. Oversized glasses that hold an entire bottle turn wine drinking into a proper event.
These accessories often combine function with humour. You're not just getting something that looks silly, you're getting something people will genuinely use. Every time they pour a glass, they'll remember who gave them the gift.
Bottle Accessories and Stoppers
Corkscrews don't have to be boring. Neither do bottle stoppers. The funny versions feature unexpected designs, cheeky messages or characters that make opening and storing wine more entertaining. Some are genuinely clever pieces of design that happen to be hilarious.
Wine bottle holders that create optical illusions or tell visual jokes work brilliantly on display. They're functional furniture that also makes guests do a double-take. Perfect for someone who likes their home to have personality.
Wine-Themed Clothing and Textiles
Socks with wine puns. Tea towels with jokes about wine o'clock. Aprons that make cooking while drinking more official. These items let wine lovers show their enthusiasm in everyday life. They're particularly good for people who find basic homeware depressing.
The best versions avoid being tacky. They're well-made items that happen to have funny wine-related messages. You can actually use them without feeling embarrassed, which is important for gifts people will genuinely appreciate.
Novelty Drinkware
Beyond standard wine glasses, there's a whole world of funny drinkware for wine enthusiasts. Stemless glasses with measurements marked up the side. Cups that hide the fact you're drinking wine when you're somewhere you probably shouldn't be. Vessels designed to look like something completely different.
These work well for specific situations. Someone who drinks wine while gardening needs different drinkware than someone who wants to look sophisticated at book club. The variety means you can match the gift to the person's actual life.
Signs, Prints and Decorations
Wine-themed signs for the kitchen or home bar add character to a space. They range from vintage-style prints to modern neon-effect pieces. The messages vary from gentle observations about wine appreciation to full-on declarations of devotion to the grape.
These gifts suit people who've created wine drinking spaces in their homes. They're finishing touches that make a corner of the kitchen or a home bar feel complete. They also photograph well, which matters to people who like sharing their home setup on social media.
Choosing the Right Gift
Think about how the person actually uses wine in their life. Someone who drinks wine at home most evenings needs different gifts than someone who mainly enjoys wine at restaurants or bars. Home drinkers appreciate accessories they'll use regularly. Social drinkers might prefer portable items or conversation pieces.
Consider their sense of humour too. Some people love bold, cheeky messages that make strong statements about their wine habits. Others prefer subtle, clever humour that's more understated. Match the joke level to their personality.
Budget matters, but expensive doesn't always mean better for funny gifts. Sometimes a perfectly chosen novelty item for under ten pounds gets more laughs than a pricier present. Focus on finding something that suits them rather than spending the most.
Think about their living situation as well. Someone in a tiny flat doesn't need another bulky item taking up counter space. Someone with a big kitchen and plenty of storage can handle larger or multiple-piece gifts. Practical considerations keep your gift from becoming clutter.
If you're buying for someone who already has loads of wine accessories, look for unique items they won't have seen before. The more niche or specific the humour, the more likely they haven't already got it. Original beats generic every time.
The best funny wine gifts feel personal even when they're mass-produced. You want them to open it and immediately think "this person gets me."
For Different Occasions
Birthdays call for presents that celebrate the person's love of wine without being too serious. Milestone birthdays work well with gifts that reference getting older and needing more wine. Funny wine gifts acknowledge that ageing and wine appreciation often go hand in hand.
Christmas is prime time for wine-related presents. They fit the festive mood perfectly because wine is already part of most people's celebrations. Novelty items work particularly well because people are more open to humorous gifts during the holidays.
Housewarming gifts in the wine category help someone set up their new space. Accessories for their kitchen or dining area show you're thinking about their actual needs while keeping things light and fun. They're starting fresh, and funny wine items add personality to new surroundings.
Thank You gifts benefit from being thoughtful without being too formal. A funny wine present says you appreciate someone while keeping the mood relaxed. It works for hosts who had you over for dinner, friends who helped you move, or colleagues who covered your work.
Secret Santa exchanges have budget limits that funny wine gifts fit perfectly. They're easy to wrap, suit most adult recipients, and generate the right level of reaction when opened in front of a group. The humour helps break the ice if people don't know each other well.
Just Because presents show you're thinking of someone without needing an excuse. A small funny wine gift arriving unexpectedly can properly brighten someone's week.
Funny wine gifts work because they celebrate something people genuinely enjoy while making them smile. They're presents that get used, displayed and remembered. Whether you're shopping for a self-proclaimed wine expert or someone who just really likes a glass after work, there's something here that'll suit them.
