Wine in some Wine Glasses

Why Every Wine Lover Needs a Wine Drinking Sign (or Three)

Being a wine lover, or an ‘oenophile’ (as it’s technically known!), means you always have something to look forward to in the evenings. If you love savouring your daily glass, why not also express your love for the drink in your space?

Wine in some wine glasses

Our signs don’t just make your walls prettier; they’re conversation starters and an expression of one of your favourite passions. They can provide subtle nods to your appreciation for a good glass of red (or white, or rosé — no judgement here). They make fantastic gifts for people with a great sense of humour, along with those who like rustic wooden decorations. 

Here’s why you should seriously consider adding one (or three) to your home.

1. Instantly Inject Personality into Any Space

Wine drinking signs are fantastic for kitchens, dining areas and home bars. . Plain walls are just that: plain. It's a small detail that makes a big impact. Think of it like seasoning for your decor: it ties everything together.

For example, a sign that reads “Wine o’clock starts now” instantly lifts the mood. It tells your guests that this is a laid-back place, where the wine flows and the laughter comes easy. Or maybe something more vintage like “In vino veritas” suits your style: a touch of class with a wink.

2. They Make the Perfect Gifts

Struggling to find a present for the friend who already has every wine accessory under the sun? Don’t want to add to their collection of bottle openers? Enter the wine drinking sign. It's unique, thoughtful and will take pride of place in their kitchen.

From birthday presents and housewarming gifts to Secret Santa at the office, our signs are versatile crowd-pleasers. Choose a message that suits someone’s unique sense of humour, their interior style, or even an inside joke, and you’ve got a personal gift they’ll actually want to hang up.

3. Set the Mood

The right decor helps us create an atmosphere we love. A kitchen with warm wooden accessories and a rustic “Save water, drink wine” sign feels welcoming, cosy and lived-in. A modern bar corner with a minimalist “Wine: because adulting is hard” plaque creates a playful, relaxed atmosphere.

Whether you're hosting a dinner party or just sipping a glass at the end of a long week, where you do it makes a difference. Wine signs reinforce that this is your time to unwind, and they often get a smile or a chuckle in the process.

4. They're an Affordable Way to Spice Up Your Decor

Not everyone has the budget for a full interior makeover. But adding a few well-chosen signs is a simple and affordable way to upgrade a room. They make a big impact but involve little effort or money. 

Whether you're working with a gallery wall, open shelving, or a blank spot by the wine rack, signs are easy to install and swap out. You can build a collection over time and rotate them with the seasons or to suit your mood.

5. There’s a Style for Everyone

You don’t need to be into farmhouse decor to appreciate a good wine sign. Today’s designs range from distressed wood and metal plaques to sleek acrylics and bold typographic prints. However, if you’re after wooden signs, Harrington Gifts is the place to go. 

We offer a wide selection of wooden signs, all with fun messages in a cheeky style and a rustic wood finish. 

6. They Make Your Home Bar Feel Legit

Perhaps you’ve carved out a little corner of your home for wine storage or cocktail mixing. Adding a wine drinking sign instantly makes that space feel like a dedicated bar area, not just a sideboard with bottles on it.

Pair your sign with a few glasses, a bottle holder, and maybe some fairy lights, and suddenly your DIY bar has personality. It’s a great way to create a focal point, especially in smaller homes or flats where space is limited.

7. They Spark Conversation

People love funny signs. Whether it’s a pun, a cheeky quote, or a bit of wine wisdom, guests tend to notice and comment. It’s an easy way to break the ice, and it often leads to stories, laughs, or an impromptu discussion about favourite wines. It’s those little touches that make gatherings more memorable.

Our wine drinking signs don’t just fill wall space. They express who you are, how you live, and what you love.

Whether it’s a bold declaration of your love for Merlot, a quirky quote that matches your humour, or a sophisticated print that adds elegance to your entertaining space, these signs do more than decorate, they say something about your personality. 

So if you’re a wine lover who hasn’t yet claimed your corner of the house with a sign that says it all… what are you waiting for?
