Choosing wine has never been for the indecisive. Now, serving it is just as complex with more swank options for storing and pouring than there are trendy Australian Shirazes. The latest designs emphasize clean and classic shapes in shiny metals that keep things cool, and with stitched-leather accents reminiscent of an elegant old barroom. With looks that are bound to age well enough to become vintage, this year’s crop of wine servers is also color-coordinated. Grape clusters decorate a clear glass bucket for chilling white wines, and a burgundy rubber caddy built for two bottles of robust red has a handle that can hang from a table edge -- or your arm.
