According to Cooking Light Magazine, when a dinner guest brings a bottle of wine as a gift, you should open and serve it.  

That being said, if you’re bringing a bottle of white as a gift, check out the cool sack wine tote from the Container Store.

You pop it in the freezer -put your bottle in and give both the wine and tote as a gift for your hostess.  :) 

It is $5.99 and comes in red, blue, green and clear:

Do you have a wine lover in your life? Instead of bringing them a bottle of wine, get a little crafty and make some Chalkboard Wineglasses! 

Fellow Mama blogger Deb Thompson posted this cute idea, and I had to repost it.  I love a gift that has some thought and craftiness behind it! :)

She made 8 Chalkboard Wine Glasses and it cost her a total of $18.

Hey, That’s MY Glass!

How many times have you been at a party and picked up someone else’s wine glass by mistake?  Or, you only own stemless wine glasses so those wine markers that go on the stem don’t work?  I didn’t realize I had this problem until my bestie brought me this amazing house warming gift!

These Riedel colored wine glasses are so pretty, and make a great house warming / host / hostess gift (or a holiday gift for the wine lover in your life)!

Each glass is tinted with a different color, so no more glass mix-ups! 

They retail for around $50, and you can find them at Bed,Bath, and Beyond:
