You take pleasure in discovering, collecting, and drinking fine wines at home and in your travels. Sharing them with friends and family along the way adds to your enjoyment. 

Wine lovers know that the perfect glass, the optimum temperature, and well-matched edible accompaniments enhance the experience as well. The right accessories take it a step further. 

Well-chosen serving pieces can be both stunning and useful. An elegant corkscrew makes a great gift and a prized possession. Carrying your wine to restaurants or dinner parties in a handsome leather bag is practical as well as stylish. 

As oenophiles know, the right climate for aging and storing wines is essential, and we have a few suggestions along those lines, too.

Here, 11 accessories every wine enthusiast should have on hand for optimal drinking.
