Choosing a Wine Gift Basket
by Peter

During the holiday season, most of us are in a frantic search for presents for
loved ones and friends. Next time, instead of the usual hassle of selecting a
gift which will suit him or her, try sending a wine gift basket instead. Wine
gift baskets are a perfect present for both men and women and suit every
occasion e.g. Birthdays, Weddings etc. The information below will help you
select an appropriate wine gift for that special occasion.
Who will be receiving the wine gift basket?
Men will prefer a bottle of wine, which they can open and drink immediately or
store in their own wine cabinet (The smile when he or she unwraps the present
to discover a 1990 Bordeaux is priceless) whereas women are usually more
delighted with a wine accessory e.g. Corkscrew, Crystal Wine glasses or a
decanter. Below are the four basic questions you need to ask yourself before
you shop for a wine gift.
What is the occasion?
Different wine gift baskets are suitable for various occasions. Wine gift
baskets are a favorite for parties. The numerous items within will allow
everyone to enjoy the gift and enjoy the wine with delicious tidbits as well.
Wine merchants also have wine gift baskets for special occasions such as
Valentine's Day, Christmas etc.
What is your budget?
Most nifty wine gift baskets can be had for $25-$50 although fine wines will
be more expensive. Wine gifts often include cheese and chocolates (a favorite
with children). Just remember it is the thought that counts!
What is their knowledge of Wine?
If the wine gift is for a beginning wine enthusiast, then a well-written book
on enjoying wine will be an excellent gift whereas an expert wine enthusiast
might enjoy having a stopper for the half empty bottle of wine. Try to find a
wine gadget that he does not already own, most people will be touched by the
thoughtfulness of your gift. The wine gadget will also remind him/her of your
friendship each time he enjoys a bottle of fine wine.
