"In the new era of the wine decanter , it's less about fussiness and more about actual functionality. Personally, I think using a decanter, and some dedicated matching glassware, is also an invitation to take a beat and indulge in a ritual. Broc's decanter and glass set is beautiful and strikes a nice balance between dainty and casual. Relatedly: On Eater, Francky Knapp has extolled the virtues of the bedside water carafe ."
"Matchbox Distilling is a cool, genre-bending line of spirits from Long Island. Its offerings are particularly suited to Valentine's, I think, because they get so specific ( bier mash amaro , banana and saffron rum !); you can really tailor the bottle to your recipient (to be loved is to be known, etc. etc.). Also, the names are poetic . This is not simply triple sec; it's No Where Sun Kissed & Stargazed. Sounds romantic to me!"
Last-minute Valentine's gifts for drinks enthusiasts can be found at local liquor stores, but specialty items should be ordered in advance. Jon Bonné's mini collection on French wine serves as a comprehensive, shelf-worthy resource; Spirits of Latin America and The Way of the Cocktail offer complementary regional and cultural perspectives. A functional wine decanter and matching glassware create a deliberate drinking ritual; Broc's decanter and glass set balances dainty and casual. The bedside water carafe is suggested for convenience. Matchbox Distilling produces genre-bending spirits with specific infusions—bier mash amaro, banana and saffron rum—and poetic names. Vintage bar accessories, including antique goblet duos, provide unique, nostalgic gifts.
