The most joyful season is just around the corner, and it’s time to choose gifts for your most loved ones. But when it comes to picking gifts for your family, friends and the closest ones in your circle, you probably want to pick something unique that will stand out in the one’s gift collection this Christmas.
Talking about unique and memorable Christmas gifts, we’re sure that every wine lover would like to enjoy their favourite beverage during this joyful season. So, if you were in doubt about what to gift the wine enthusiast in your circle, we put together a couple of interesting ideas that will cause a smile and joy on their face.
Wine Packages
A bottle of fine wine has been the perfect go-to gift for every occasion since forever. In fact, the act of gifting a wine has its origins in Ancient Greece, as people thought that it was a gift from the Gods. At these times, Ancient Egyptians went even further and buried their loved ones with plentiful supplies of this magnificent drink to ensure that they’re well stocked in the afterlife.
And when it comes to gifting wine to your favourite wine lover, we’re sure that they would appreciate a fine bottle of their favourite type. But what they’d appreciate even more is exactly the Ancient practice of receiving stocks of wine for their collection. So, to make your wine enthusiast's Christmas even more joyful, make sure you surprise them with a nice wine package.
The best thing about wine gift packages is that you don’t even have to tailor one on your own, as there’re many shops in our land offering white and red wine deals. Such wine box offers are handcrafted by wine experts, meaning they contain a selection of carefully picked wines to match the one’s wine preferences.
For instance, if the one prefers white over red wines, you can always go for one of the specially selected white wine box deals. This way, you will give your wine lover the opportunity to try out different styles and variations of their favourite beverage- from the fruity, tropical or citrus-flavoured Sauvignon Blancs to the flinty, yet textural Chardonnays. Except for Sauvys and Chardys, you can also find white wine deals containing premium Pinot Grigios and fine champer wines.
When it comes to red wine deals, not a wine lover would resist a nice selection of local Shiraz wines from the popular Barossa Valley and the South Australian region. So, make sure you choose a package offering both, wines featuring intense oak flavours and acidic fruity notes. Except for Shiraz, make sure you include at least one bottle of fine Cabernet Sauvignon so the one can enjoy the mixture of deep fruity aromas and minty hints.
The range of combinations with these wine deals is endless, and the only thing you have to do is to include the one’s favourite types or let the experts do all the job for you.
Wine Hampers
A selection of a couple of fine wines is the perfect Christmas gift for every person that loves wine indeed. However, wine is a beverage that is best enjoyed when combined with appetizers and different platters. So, if you want to surprise your wine lover with a combo of fine wine and appetizers, make sure you get a lovely wine gift hamper.
And same as wine packages, you don’t have to tailor a gift hamper on your own if crafty stuff is not much your cup of tea. Instead, you can find many services offering different wine baskets and hampers that will personalize the gift however you require.
So, if your wine lover prefers to drink their favourite beverage with a nice cheese platter, you can always find luxurious wine and cheese gift hampers containing a nice bottle of Pinot Noir, topped up with camembert cheese, parmesan cheese bites, pepperoni sticks and even a board to serve the appetizers.
On the other hand, for those who prefer the bitter taste of wine with sweet food, you can go for a lovely hamper containing a fine Chardonnay topped up with chocolate truffles, chocolate-coated apricots and different sweet and salty chocolate bars.
Finally, if the one prefers bubbly over any type of wine, a luxury gift hamper of Moet, smoked almonds, peanut chocolate bars, different crackers and cheeses is the gift idea you can’t go wrong with.
The best thing about services offering wine hampers is that they’ll be glad to wrap them up as a gift. You can even include a personalized card where you can write a message to express your love and appreciation towards the specific person.
Wine Bar Essentials
Not sure about the type of wine your wine enthusiast prefers? Don’t worry, there’re many things you can gift to make them happy except for a fine bottle of wine or gift boxes and hampers.
If you’re wondering what could make a wine lover happy, that’s undoubtedly a couple of bar essentials to make their experience consuming wine even better. For instance, you can always get them a fancy set of wine glasses to enrich their glasses collection. As long as you choose large glasses made of thin glass, we’re sure that your wine enthusiast won’t resist them once they open a bottle of wine.
Except for glasses, a lovely wine rack would also make for a great addition to their bar or wine corner. Such racks come in a bunch of different styles and designs- from the minimalistic mate or glossy ones made from metals to accompany their contemporary-styled bar to the traditional wooden ones that are perfect for every luxurious and old-fashioned space.
If your wine lover already has a gorgeous rack for their wine collection, you can always tailor a kit containing wine openers, bottle stoppers and decanters for serving to elevate the wine tasting experience to the next level.
Now that you have a couple of great ideas, don’t wait to hit the market and get the perfect gift to make your wine enthusiast’s Christmas the best.
