Wine is a great gift because there’s no pressure on the recipient to drink it now – left unopened, the right wine can improve with age. This means that the recipient can enjoy it at a time of their choosing, without the pressure of an expiry date.
The Ancient Greeks thought it was a gift from the gods, and Ancient Egyptians went so far as to bury their loved ones with a plentiful supply to ensure they were well-stocked in the afterlife.
With an unlimited number of options, taking the time to select the right wine for the recipient is a great way to show how well you know them, and how much you care.
When giving wine as a gift to mark a wedding, anniversary or birthday, a wine vintage dating from the year of the marriage or birth can be a wonderfully personal way to pay homage.
Presenting someone with a cracking wine from their region will often be greatly appreciated.
Beautiful packaging will really make your gift extra special. A wine gift box can provide a simple and stylish solution. Alternatively, you can present the wine as part of a gift hamper for a real ‘wow’ gift.
By giving someone the gift of wine, you’re not just treating them to wine – you’re enabling them to share the experience with the people they love.
