Wine accessories, oenology & glassware
They say that the pleasure of a good wine begins as soon as you open the bottle. Capsule cutters, corkscrews from the most classic to the most high-tech, wine thermometers, aerators and decanters... And glasses! Did you know that the shape of a glass influences the perception of a wine's taste and aromas? Serving wine is an art! Spouts, stop-drops and Bacchus collars, wine buckets and coolers, glass markers... There's also a whole range of accessories for keeping a bottle open: corks and bottle cleats, vacuum pumps... Ideal for tastings, the Coravin is the ultimate accessory for sampling wine without uncorking the bottle.
Sweet & Salty
When you say Gironde, you say cannelés. Linked to the region's winegrowing history, we like them flavored and crunchy. Unfortunately, they don't always travel well. Why not bring back your famous copper mould? Cannelé is also available in the form of sugar for coffee. On the other hand, Bordeaux corks keep very well. Do you prefer chocolate? Inspired by the world of the vine, Sarments du Médoc are highly appreciated for their delicacy and crunchiness, with subtle and varied notes. If you like the combination of grapes and chocolate, go for Perles du Médoc and/or Raisins au Sauternes, also known as Raisins Dorés. Gironde's top chocolatiers like to combine great wine vintages with their great chocolate vintages. Try our wine and chocolate tasting workshops! Other wine-related products include flavored jams, wine confits, jellies, infusions and teas, vinegars, mustards... And let's not forget Sel de Vin or Sel de Château, a gastronomic salt whose origins date back to the early 20th century.
Fashion, beauty & wellness
Ever heard of grape leather? A plant-based alternative to animal leather, it is gradually gaining ground in leather goods and ready-to-wear. In Bordeaux, Laure Babin makes sneakers from wine production waste and recycled materials such as corks. Handbags, wallets, caps, belts... With a nod to winegrowing, cork accessories are almost infinitely versatile. A subtle marriage between the beauty of jewelry and the countless reflections of the finest wines and spirits, ARVIN creates unique creations with contemporary, elegant lines. And Caudalie? Born in the heart of Château Smith Haut Lafitte in Martillac, the brand, a forerunner in the field of vinotherapy, relies on the antioxidant virtues of grape seeds. Hand creams, moisturizing milks, serums... everything to please and please yourself!
