Looking for a gift for the person who has everything? Don't succumb to gift cards, baseball hats, and t-shirts. Instead, be creative and try a gift like a 1- to 12-month wine club gift or even wine-related accessory to round out your shopping, and the recipient will surely be impressed.

Wine makes a great gift for those hard-to-buy-for friends, family members and business associates because it's something that can be enjoyed and appreciated by wine enthusiasts on any level, from the novice to aficionado. Plus, with a variety of wine gadgets on the market today, it's easy to find accessories that go along with the gift of wine.

Take for instance a top-of-the-line Rabbit corkscrew that will make opening wine bottles a simple and speedy experience. A Vinturi Aerator can help speed up the decanting process. It's an easy and convenient tool that instantly enhances flavors and gives a smoother finish to those bigger, bolder wines. Another great idea is the Ravi Instant Wine Chiller - a must-have item for the coming summer months. It cools wine to a suitable temperature in seconds, and works for both reds and whites.

Gold Medal Wine Club gifts come with rewards. The most popular gift, the Gold Series specializes in delivering hard-to-find wines from small, family-owned California wineries to people all across the country. One-month gift memberships start at just $34 (1-12 month gifts are available) and include two bottles of award-winning wines, gift wrapped in tissue and bows for a stunning presentation. Also included is an exclusive publication that features information about the wines, background of the winery owners, behind-the-scenes tours of the vineyards, and great food pairing recipes from the winemakers themselves.

If your gift recipient prefers the international wine scene, surprise them with Gold Medal Wine Club's International Wine Club Series - a limited membership club that features rare, exclusively imported wines and a unique "Adventure Package" of gourmet food items - direct from the featured country. The "Taste the Adventure" publication takes members on a journey to some of the world's most renowned wine regions, with in-depth articles on the featured wines, wineries and country. It's a great gift for those who love to travel, or at the very least enjoy expanding their horizons. Purchase an annual gift membership and receive a 10 percent discount.

All the wines offered by Gold Medal Wine Club are small production wines from boutique family wineries, which can be hard to find in stores. The wines have won multiple medals and awards from major international wine competitions and have high ratings from the top wine publications. Some wines are even pre-releases and exclusives that are only offered at the winery itself and through the club.
