One of the best parts about being a wine enthusiast these days is that there are so many different accessories and gadgets that can help you make the most of your wine. There are accessories out there that can do everything from providing optimal storage solutions to making your wine taste better. Listed below are two accessories that are essential for any wine enthusiast. 

Storage Solutions

Since not everyone is going to be able to have a house with a wine cellar or the finances to build a large wine room, wine-storage solutions are an essential tool for a wine drinker. Sure, you can simply store your wine in your refrigerator, but that will mean that you are not enjoying the wine at its optimal temperature, and the flavor can be negatively affected as a result.

One of the best storage solutions that you can purchase is a wine refrigerator, mostly because this option will allow you to store anywhere from 4–5 bottles for the smaller options to over 100 bottles for the larger refrigerators. In addition, these storage refrigerators will also sometimes have multiple sections so that you can set different temperatures for different wines, which is perfect for those times when you have wines with different optimal serving temperatures. 

Another storage option to consider if you do not care whether your wine is chilled at all is a small wine rack. These wine racks are very convenient, as they are typically intended to rest right on your countertop. In addition, these small wine racks are some of the least expensive storage options available to you. 

Wine Aerator

Aeration is one of the most important things to consider when you decide to drink a glass of wine. In most cases, it is recommended that you open a bottle of wine and let it breathe and aerate for anywhere from just a few minutes to a half hour or more. This is intended to make the wine's flavor and aroma much more pronounced. 

Unfortunately, the downside to aeration is that you will have to wait a while before you can have your drink. However, a wine aerator can help you cut that wait down, as it is meant to be attached to your wine bottle so that it can aerate the wine as you pour it, which can allow you to enjoy your wine almost immediately. In addition, an aerator can also help you revive a wine that has been open a while and has begun to taste dull or flat.
