For an anniversary gift that celebrates your husband's love for becoming a sommelier, consider these thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas:

1. Wine Tasting Experience: Treat him to a wine tasting experience at a local winery or vineyard. This can be a romantic and educational outing where he can further hone his sommelier skills and discover new wines.

2. Wine Subscription: Gift him a wine subscription that delivers a curated selection of wines to your doorstep regularly. This allows him to explore new regions and flavors, expanding his knowledge and palate as a sommelier.

3. Sommelier Course: Enroll him in a sommelier course or workshop to enhance his expertise. This can be an invaluable gift that helps him take his passion to the next level and learn from professionals in the industry.

4. Wine Accessories: Surprise him with high-quality wine accessories such as a decanter, wine aerator, or a set of wine glasses. These tools not only enhance the wine drinking experience but also showcase his passion for sommelier knowledge.

5. Personalized Wine Label: Create a custom wine label that celebrates your anniversary and his journey as a sommelier. You can design a label with a special message or even include a photo of the two of you. It adds a personal touch to any bottle and becomes a cherished keepsake.

6. Wine Books: Gift him a collection of books on wine, such as "The World Atlas of Wine" by Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson or "The Sommelier's Atlas of Taste" by Rajat Parr and Jordan Mackay. These books provide in-depth knowledge and serve as valuable resources for a sommelier.

7. Wine Experiences: Surprise him with tickets to a wine event or festival, where he can network with fellow wine enthusiasts and professionals. Events like wine tastings, food and wine pairing dinners, or even a wine cruise can offer unique experiences for him to indulge in his passion.

8. Wine Travel: Plan a wine-themed vacation to a renowned wine region, such as Napa Valley in California, Bordeaux in France, or Mendoza in Argentina. This allows him to immerse himself in the culture, vineyards, and wine tasting experiences of his passion.

9. Wine Cellar: If you have the space and resources, consider creating a wine cellar at home. Whether it's a small dedicated space or a larger room, this gift allows him to store and showcase his wine collection, proving that you fully support his sommelier aspirations.

10. Wine and Food Pairing Dinner: Arrange for a special anniversary dinner at a fine dining restaurant where he can enjoy a multi-course meal expertly paired with wines. This experience not only indulges his sommelier side but also creates a romantic and memorable moment to celebrate your love and anniversary.

Remember, the best gift is one that shows you understand and support his passion for becoming a sommelier and celebrates this milestone in your relationship.

Or you can get him a star map with the date of your anniversary.
