Picture this. It's a summer afternoon, and you're brunching with a chilled bottle of wine. In the clammy weather, your beautiful bottles are dotted with condensation that eventually trickles down and inks the surface of your favorite coffee table. That just won't do. The solution? A chic coaster.
If you ask me, it's a summer home bar essential that'll serve you beyond just the warm seasons. And if you're taking off your host hat to play guest at a home that values tasteful design, then it also makes for a thoughtful gift.
So, I found nine gorgeous wine bottle coasters that will sit pretty while keeping your home's delicate surfaces safe. And if you're in a dry era, I'd also use these to hold cool bottles of water, too.
This simple yet sleek coaster from Arket is perfect if you have a crush on chrome home accessories.
I love the subtle hammered finish on this Double Wall Wine Coaster from Winco on Amazon.
As for the coaster that began my exploration into the world of this wine accessory, here she is. It feels like something you'd spot at a seaside French wine bar.
For an evening setting, I'd use this dark marble finish to tie into the ambiance of the soirée.

Beading and chrome? This is a crossover I can get behind. And while this feels right for summer, my favorite has to be the neutral tones finish.
I love this leather-trimmed steel coaster from Ralph Lauren Home. And this is a perfect example of alternate uses if wine isn't your beverage of choice.
As always, Baccarat exudes elegance. And this outwardly fluted finish elevates any coffee table styling.
Another design that speaks to the spirit of the season is the green stripe from Graham & Green.
