Look at the bottom. A deep pit on the bottom usually (not always) means a quality bottle of wine.

Really cost-efficient- get wine rings to slip on wineglasses. You should be able to find some that start at 10. They are little decorations so that when a group of people are drinking- they can put their decoration on their glass so they will know which one is theirs. Also, a decorative wine stopper is not that expensive.

Eiswine (or Icewine). It's a dessert wine made from frozen grapes. The difference in spelling is because of the country of origin - Eiswine is German, while Icewine is usually Canadian. Both are the same, though.

EDIT: Eiswine is pretty expensive, but I guess that's okay if you're shopping for your in-laws.
