Wine not?

A question with only one right answer. This candle is made for evenings when there is truly nothing to feel guilty about: the glass is full, the phone is put away and the only thing that should be burning is the wick in the creamy soy wax. The elegant black tin looks almost as good on the table as the bottle you are just opening.

You choose the scent to suit your mood — the fruity one recalls fruit punch, the sweet one caresses, the citrus one refreshes like chilled prosecco. Soy wax burns cleanly and for a long time, without greasy residue, so the scent does not compete with your glass — it simply complements it nicely. An ideal gift for a friend who shares your favourite vintage.

To make it last right to the final drop, let it burn on first lighting until the whole surface has melted — that way the wax does not burn away down a narrow tunnel. Before the next glass, trim the wick and stand the candle away from draughts, so the flame does not dance more than it needs to.

Stay in good company with the Wine o'clock? or More wine, less whine candle. You will find more pieces for lovers of a good glass in the SIP category.
