Ten Wine Gift Idea Solutions
Here are some suggestions for selecting just the right wine gift idea, from wine country gift baskets to picnic backpacks to decorative wine racks. Plus, there are more than you might imagine. Whether it's for the boss, a client, newlyweds, employees, friends, family members, or your beloved, the following ideas should help get you started.
The most obvious would be to get a bottle of fine wine. But where to start? 1. Wine Country Souvenir Bottle When you go wine tasting, and discover a great wine, buy a case. You can be aging it at home and whenever you want to give one as a gift, no need to go shopping and guess at what is good or not.
2. Gift Baskets A wine country gift basket full of wine country gourmet edibles with or without the wine is always a sure hit. There are a huge variety of designs and contents to choose from.
3. Picnic Basket Or Picnic BackpackIf your wine lover frequents wine country, he or she might appreciate a reusable gourmet picnic basket, complete with vinyl wine glasses, a cheese knife and board, a tablecloth, and other accoutrements. A wine picnic backpack is a great wine gift idea for a couple, as for a wedding gift or anniversary gift.
4. Other Wine Country Souvenirs When you go to wine country, you'll find that many of the wineries have wonderful gift shops full of unique items which make great gifts for wine lovers. Maybe some Cabernet fudge sauce, garlic stuffed olives or a beautiful wine print would do nicely.
5. A Wine RackAnother wine gift idea is the
wine rack.
There are many styles, sizes, and shapes to choose from. The benefactor, being a wine lover, probably needs more storage space for his or her collection anyway.
6. Wine ArtFor the art lover, check out our
Wine Art Gallery
for a large selection of vintage wine art prints, photographs and posters.
7. Gift CertificatesOther gift ideas need not be so tangible. You might consider giving a gift certificate for one of the
California wine tours
in a limousine, van or motorized cable car. Or how about a ticket (or tickets so you can come along) on the
Napa Valley Wine Train?
For a really romantic gift, how about a trip for two in a
hot air balloon
over wine country, followed by a champagne landing ceremony.
A
Calistoga spa
package or gift certificate for a mud bath and hot mineral water soak in the Napa Valley would also make a divine wine gift idea. 8. Wine Club Gift Of Membership A smart
corporate gift
might be membership in a wine club. Just about every winery has them. The recipient would get invitations to special events such as wine and food pairings, special reserve wine tastings, candlelit cave dinners and more. (This varies widely from winery to winery.) But primarily, being a member of a wine club means you receive bottles of wine in the mail once a month or so.
9. Wine Tasting Or Wine Country Related BooksOur
Book section
offers wine country travel guides and books on wine and wine making, which also make nice wine lover gift ideas.
10. Wine AccessoriesEvery wine afficionado is bound to love an accessory or two to add to his or her collection. A fancy corkscrew, ornamental bottle stoppers, decorative cocktail napkins, a decanter, wine score cards, a wine tasting kit, and wine tasting related games are all potential gifts to give a wine lover, especially if you don't feel confident enough to choose a bottle of wine you think your recipient would like.
