Cool gift for dad but trying not to break the bank

[rydia131]

Trying to get my dad a gift is always the classic buying for the guy who has everything. So i had the idea of getting him somethin for his wine making. Problem is...not sure what all he has but i know he has all the basics. The two things i thought of were a bench corker? Or i know he uses something pretty oldschool to rack his wine...my question is simply please give me some cool gift ideas for his wine gear. Thanks in advance for the help!!!

Does he have an autosyphon?

A new carboy with bung and airlock! They are almost always welcome.

More fermentation space is always a good idea.

I thought about the auto-syphon...i just cant recall if he has one or not. He has at least 5 carboys that i saw. Maybe more. He offered to set me up with one. He has all the family equipment as of now

Bottles?
A kit?
Corks?
Personalized labels?
A trip to Tuscany, Italy?

A gallon of local raw honey?
Anyone want to pitch in with you and buy an All-In-One Wine Pump (www.allinonewinepump.com)?

I'd be amped to receive a gravity bottle filler like this: http://www.vigoltd.com/Catalogue/Filling/Bottle/Syphon/Stainless-steel-syphon-fillers but they won't ship to the states. There are others around..

What about one of those bottle trees with built in pump for sanitization. Not sure what its called but a guy on YouTube had one that would hang up to 90 bottles I think.

How much he'll use that tool is going to depend on his process. He's going to appreciate that it isn't a stupid tie so I'd say go for it!
