We tested wine bags for BYOB dinners, picnics and checked luggage to find the totes and sleeves that protect bottles and keep them cool.

We tested manual lever corkscrews to find the fastest, most reliable bottle openers for effortless cork removal—no twisting required.

We tested garage-ready wine fridges for heat, cold and bottle fit. Compressor cooling wins, and one cabinet’s three-year compressor warranty decides it.

We made first batches with fruit and grape kits to find the best home wine kits for beginners, dry reds, and sweet whites.

We tested insulated and shatterproof travel wine glasses to find leakproof lids, full pours, and sets for every outdoor occasion.

Find the wine chiller sleeve that fits your bottle shape and keeps wine cold without the slip risk or condensation issues.

We tested six champagne stoppers to see which seals actually hold carbonation. Here is what keeps a half bottle lively for days, and what to skip.

We tested Chardonnay glasses from delicate crystal stems to sturdy stemless tumblers, and picked the ones that flatter the wine and survive the wash.

We tested the top wine aerators to find which actually improve taste and aroma — and which leak, drip, or break. These are our picks.

We compared insulated totes and carriers to find the best two-bottle wine bags for travel, picnics, and gifting.
