Must-Have Accessories for Your Home Wine Bar

There's something to be said about having an elegant home wine bar. It's a place where you can feel at home, and just have a respite from the rest of the horrors of the world. It's a place where it's literally just you and the bottle—a nice, cozy place where you can get drunk.

Having the right accessories for your home wine bar can make a regular corner of a room into your own Shangri-La. Here are some accessories every wine aficionado should have; at least, in this heavy drinker's opinion.

The first thing that you'll need to make your wine bar your own paradise, is a platter that allows you to try out your favorite wine and cheese pairings in style. (Or wine and chocolate, if you're really getting into decadence.)

This wine bottle platter is made from a real wine bottle, and that means that it's one of the most wine-centric wine accessories for your home wine bar. It's also earth-friendly and comes with a spreader, so, win-win?

Sometimes, you need wine because, well, science? Yeah, we're going to go with that. The Periodic Table of Wine by Sarah Rowlands allows you to discover new types of wine, all based on the ones you already enjoy—and gives you info on each.

It's cute. It looks like a "coffee table book." It lets you experiment with your taste in wine, and it's one of the coolest accessories for your home wine bar.

Love the idea of sci-fi barware? Then this is one of the cutest accessories for your home wine bar. These stemless (read: klutz-resistant) wine glasses have a huge well, are designed to help unlock aromas of your wine, and also look cool.

The molecules you see drawn on? Those are graphics that show the structure of ethanol, also known as the stuff that actually gets you drunk in wine. Wine bar accessories can be both geek and chic, after all.

Serious about your wine? Then forget the ice bucket and get a stainless steel wine cooler like this beauty from Kalorik. This cooler is designed to keep your wines at the best possible temperature, which in turn guarantees a delicious drink every single time.

It's gorgeous, sturdy, and can keep up to 18 of your favorite bottles stored perfectly. This definitely beats the old school game wine drinking hack of just wrapping a bottle up in a towel and sticking it in the freezer, doesn't it?

You may have heard of whiskey stones, but wine pearls? Probably not. These beads are meant to be chilled and dropped into wine to keep cocktails cold—just like whiskey stones.

The difference? Well, they're not rocks, they're stainless steel, and they're designed to be gentle on wine glasses. The more pearls you use, the frostier your beverage gets.

Looking to get the most of your wine's delicate bouquet? The Model Two by Coravin is one of the best accessories for your home wine bar you can invest in. This device is designed to give you a perfect pour of wine, every single time.

It allows your wine to avoid oxidation, get aerated upon pouring, and allows you to pour wine from a corked bottle without uncorking. So, this means you can save the rest of your wine for whenever—even after having a glass of it.

Let's go back to the basics on accessories for your home wine bar, okay? Everyone who loves getting all the goodies from their table wine needs a decanter. So, why not get a decanter that's personalized with your initials?

The wine decanters being sold by Personal Creations let you get a personal touch on your own little nook, in the best way possible. Go ahead. Put your name on it, you baller!

Wondering what temperature to serve Tempranillo at? This wine pairing towel set will help you out and educate guests on all the coolest facts about wine, too. This colorful towel is great for mopping up white wine messes, and also for entertaining.

We strongly suggest this as a gift for beginners in the world of wine tasting. It's also just really neat to look at. What's not to love?

Looking for a more stylish way to taste wines en masse? Then look no further than this wood and glass wine tasting flight. Now, you can sort out your wines by type, check out different pairings, and present them beautifully.

Made of a retired French oak wine barrel, this is one flight tray that will be sure to please both yourself and guests. Therefore, it's one of the coolest accessories for your home wine bar worth buying.

Now, we do understand that this is a list of accessories for your home wine bar—so innately, that means that all the products should involve making wine more enjoyable. That's precisely why we're including Table Topics as one of our listings.

Table Topics is a game that allows you to learn more about your guests and come up with cool topics of conversation. This is an ideal icebreaker for newbies to your wine bar, and also works wonders for days when you just want to chat with a friend over wine.

What's wine without a little snark? It's still wine—just not as fun. These silicone stoppers are perfectly hilarious and allow you to put a cork in it with stylish flair. Stoppers are must-have accessories for your home wine bar, or any bar really; so you might as well get some cute ones.

These are made of food-safe silicone and are designed to be long-lasting and durable. Snark meets function. Who knew it'd be possible?

Looking for a space-age way to open your wine? Then look no further than this full system for uncorking wine stylishly and effortlessly by Secura. It'll cut your foil, unscrew your cork, and look amazing while doing it.

Batteries are not required for this opener; it's rechargeable. The charging base glows a beautiful sky blue, and once charged, the opener is capable of uncorking up to 30 bottles in a single charge.

Last but not least, I had to add something geeky in here. (Well, geekier than the wine glasses and "periodic table" entries.) So, I'm gonna choose these cool Star Wars coasters.

They're made out of glass, and are some of the most geektastic accessories for your home wine bar out there. You should buy them; because you might as well protect and stock your bar in style.
