My girlfriend Sonia has recently developed an interest in wine. She's taking classes, going tasting, and immersing herself in all things vino. I rounded up a collection of gifts that are perfect for Sonia, and those like her, the newbie winos.

They may not be able to smell the difference between a Mourvédre and a Montepulciano, but after reading the Wine Snob's Dictionary they'll be able to talk terroir as well as any wine connoisseur.

On a budget? Get crafty and make them a wine journal.

Check out a collection of wine-related gifts below and head to HolidaySugar for more gift ideas.

    Ooh, good stuff listed above. I also recommend John Cleese's DVD Wine for the Confused for any beginner. Yeah, that is Monty Python John Cleese.

    i love this - and to be honest, even if you're not a newbie, it's not a bad book either. sometimes you just need to get a refresher on the basics even if you've been involved in the wine world for a while.
