Pairs well with cheese, lamb, beef and game.nThis wooden gift box is padded to provide a secure and elegant way to present a bottle of wine as a gift. Embedded in the lid you’ll find a selection of wine tools to help you open and serve the perfect glass.nAccessories within the wooden gift box include a waiters’ friend corkscrew with crown bottle opener and foil cutter, a pourer to help oxidise the wine, a wine collar to catch any drips and a stopper to help keep the wine fresh.nA small, family-run estate in the heart of Italy’s prestigious Piedmont region.
