{"title":"Around the Wine","description":"\u003ch3\u003eWhat do you give someone who already has good wine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe hard part of buying for a wine drinker is that the obvious gift is a bottle, and they have better bottles than you do. Everything in this collection sidesteps that: none of it is wine, and all of it is about wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree kinds of thing, for three different situations – and one notebook for the person who writes down what was opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you turn a bottle into a gift?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePut it in a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/wine-boxes\"\u003ewooden box\u003c\/a\u003e that stays. Each one takes a standard 75 cl bottle. The front panel slides up out of grooves in the sides, so the bottle lifts out and the box closes again; the three stained boxes and the Nichoir carry a jute rope handle; the light boxes travel in the hand or in a bag. Every box comes with a flat oval glass holder that sits over the neck of the bottle and carries two glasses by their stems, so bottle and glasses arrive at the table as one piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe point is what happens afterwards: a gift bag is thrown away when the cork comes out, and these are not. They end up holding kitchen utensils or brushes, or take the next bottle and are given on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of them has somewhere else to go. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/nichoir-wine-box-with-rope\"\u003eNichoir\u003c\/a\u003e has a round hole cut through its front panel inside a wreath of vine leaves, a small wooden perch below it and three birds engraved on a branch at the foot. Empty the bottle, hang the box in a tree by its rope or screw it to the trunk through the back, and it spends the rest of its life as a nesting box. It is the one wine box in our range with a second life designed in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich wine gift goes on the wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/wine-maps\"\u003ewine map\u003c\/a\u003e. Ours show France or Italy divided the way a wine label divides them – by wine region, with the vineyards raised on the wood as separate pieces in their own tones. Bordeaux, Burgundy, the Loire, the Rhône; Piedmont, Tuscany, Sicily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey come in two formats. The framed panels arrive assembled and hang from the fixing built into the back; the wooden country sits on a printed chart that names each region again with its grape varieties. The wooden maps have no chart at all: the country and its region badges – an ice bucket for Champagne, a barrel for Burgundy, a jug for Tuscany, each engraved with the region and its grapes – are mounted straight on the wall, so the wall becomes the paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePanel for a room that is already busy with framed things. Wooden for a plain wall that can be given to one object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich map tells a wine lover something new?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Italian one. All twenty Italian regions produce wine, from Alto Adige at the Austrian border to Sicily – a fact most drinkers know abstractly and have never seen laid out. France divides into a handful of famous names; Italy does not, and laid out in wood the difference is the point. It is the gift for someone whose cellar you cannot improve on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere do wine maps and boxes belong in a house?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA dining room, a kitchen, a cellar door, a restaurant. These work where wine is opened rather than in a living room, and they reward being looked at closely rather than from across a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is also the practical argument for giving one: it will be seen every time the person does the thing they enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there something for the tasting notes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne notebook, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/wooden-notebook-vineyard\"\u003eVineyard\u003c\/a\u003e: a pale birch cover with a whole scene engraved across it – a glass on a barrel, vine rows over a hill, a village with a spire – and 100 lined sheets inside, each headed with a date line, for what was opened and with whom. The cover is permanent and the block is replaceable, which is the right build for a record kept over years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is not in this collection?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo wine, no glasses, no gadgets.

It is the one cover in the range that is a picture rather than a symbol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pale board is what lets the drawing work.

There is nothing behind the map; the wall is the paper. That is the difference between this and our panels, and it changes how the map reads: a framed chart hangs among other framed things, this is an object on a wall, and it needs the wall to itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThirteen badges, each shaped like something from the trade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn ice bucket for Champagne, a corkscrew for Lorraine, a glass for Alsace, a barrel for Bourgogne, a vine leaf shared by the Jura and Savoie-Bugey, a jug for Beaujolais, a bottle for the Vallée de la Loire, a basket of grapes for Provence-Corse, a castle for Languedoc-Roussillon, a round barrel end for Bordeaux, leaves for the Sud-Ouest, a badge of its own for the Vallée du Rhône, and Corsica as its own island.
