Wine lovers can use a wine journal to record memorable wines.
If there is a wine lover in your life, a wine journal is a sure-to-please gift for any occasion. Wine-tasting journals are used by tasters to write their impressions of various wines they have sampled. Journal entries usually contain information about the colors and flavors of the wine, the type of grape or blends of grapes, what year the wine was produced, or any other notes the taster wants to remember and record. Some wine lovers even paste bottle labels into their journals. Keeping a journal also captures wines enjoyed at a special occasion such as an anniversary or a special birthday celebration. Wine journals are available in a wide range of styles and prices so finding the perfect gift is easy.
