We all remember the 'wine bottle candle holder' of the 70's, don't we? Those were the days! The 'waxed up' wine bottle was the only choice for hip coffee houses and cool party hosts. Some say the trend originated from the old French cafes. This seems a slightly romanticized explanation. After all, people have been shoving a candle in the neck of a bottle for eons.

However, in the 70's, this pastime had another purpose. Each wax color recorded the occasion. The blue was when we did that thing, the red was when that was happening, and so on. And, despite the fact the seventies are long gone, this is still an idea that appeals to a lot of people. There are many gifts for wine lovers available, and many different facets driving those gifts. In fact, you may well be surprised at just how innovative they can be.

The fact is, trends come and go, but we will always love wine and candlelight. So, why not combine our two favorite things into one brilliant bundle of joy? Of course, you could just pop a cork into a bottle and add a couple of slim tapered candles on top, to create an 'instant atmosphere'.

But when we are talking gifts for wine lovers, you want something special. You could make their day with some replica 'wine cork candles'. Or, have you seen those natty ceramic candles that burn lamp oil? Fabulous! Simply rinse an empty bottle, fill, and top! What a great way to enjoy that favorite bottle over and over again! The 'wine light' ranges from a few dollars upwards. It could be said they are a 'shining' tribute to the enjoyment of wine!

Wine has always been a hit at parties! So, what's new? The 'Wine Bottle Candelabra' seems to be the latest craze! It's an iron or metal candelabra that attaches to the top of the bottle with a rubber stopper. It's a clever way to add a touch of elegance to the evening. And, an easy way to turn an inexpensive, standard, bottle of wine into an interesting tabletop candelabra.

There are also recycled wine bottle candle holders around. The bottles are cut, polished and reassembled into quite interesting and artistic forms. The other pluses being, it is as inexpensive as it is environmentally friendly. Wow! With all these fabulous gifts for wine lovers around today, who needs the seventies?
