Gifts for Remote Coworkers - Mugs for Sommeliers
You know wine better than most people know themselves, guide guests through intimidating lists, and somehow don't roll your eyes when they order 'the house red.'
Why This Works
Sommelier work is expertise meets hospitality. You make wine accessible while fighting the pretentious stereotype.
Your coffee mug is the first thing you reach for every morning and the last line of defense against losing it in the 9am standup. A good mug doesn't just hold your caffeine addiction - it communicates your entire personality without you having to speak to anyone before 10am. These mugs say what you're thinking so you don't have to.
