1. Penfolds Grange Record Player
At £55,000, this limited-edition Penfolds Grange Record Player is definitely an option for the “best gifts for those who have everything” list, but with only seven made in total it’s also very unique. Ideal for someone who loves vintage wine and vinyl records, the console was created in 2021 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Penfolds Grange wine. Just one is available to purchase in the UK, exclusively at Harrods.
As well as the record player, the console doubles up as an integrated wine bar, featuring a hidden wine compartment containing a rare “White Capsule” release Grange magnum duo from the 2010 and 2017 vintages. There’s also a suite of accessories, including a hand-blown Grange decanter, and eight Riedel Extreme Shiraz glasses.
