I always think it’s dangerous to give wine to a real wine lover as they tend to know exactly what they like and can be slightly but politely sniffy if you give them something not quite up to the mark. Wine lovers are easy, however, to buy for with all the ingenious cork screws, wine aerators and subscriptions to publications such as Decanter.
Give a real wine lover something interesting and/or useful then hopefully they’ll share with you their prized bottle of Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion. If you’re very lucky.
