Sophie Lou Jacobsen Bilboquet Carafe
A simple yet playful take on a traditional wine decanter, the Bilboquet Carafe is a colourful choice perfect for your summer patios and dining. This carafe is made from borosilicate glass and is both heat and cold resistant – fit for a nice mulled wine or a cool, refreshing Tinto de Verano. This 32 oz. carafe is available for $201, at Sophie Lou Jacobsen.
Alessandro M. Corkscrew
A self-portrait of architect Alessandro Mendini, this stylish and playful corkscrew is the perfect friend for your summer wine activities. The Alessandro M. corkscrew is made of chrome-plated zamak and its various exterior outfits are made from thermoplastic resin. The character of the corkscrew adds some fun to the otherwise fine reputation of Alessandro Mendini’s ‘quick-change’ corkscrews. $75, at Studio Brilliante.

Terrazzo Wine Coaster
Taking after a summer staple – a pool inner-tube – the terrazzo wine coaster adds a nostalgic spin to your dining or kitchen table. Each coaster is hand-casted from a custom rubber mold and coloured, making each piece unique. Keep your favourite bottle ‘afloat’ this summer with the Terrazzo wine coaster for $86, at Cocktail Emporium.
Curvo Wine Rack
Instead of a metal display, consider the Curvo Wine Rack for a more natural showcase of your four favourite wines. Reminiscent of a sunny day at the beach, the sculptural shape of this wine rack keeps your bottles safe within its wooden acacia waves. Balance out the bold colours this summer with a natural touch for $270, at Cocktail Emporium.
