Wine Gift Basket

A starry night, some soulful music and gourmet food. The only thing missing seems to be a selection of fine wine to add to the ambience. Good wine multiplies the dining experience tenfold. Wine gift baskets make great presents for your spouse’s parents, your boss, good friends of yours and in general as a response to a dinner invitation. You could carry just a single bottle of wine or an entire wine gift basket depending on the situation. Here are some ideas for great wine gift baskets.

Chardonnay delight wine gift basket: Pick up a classic cane wine gift basket but in a deep red or mahogany instead of the usual lighter shades. Add a gold bow to make it look elegant. Put in a bottle of Chardonnay, some smooth cheese, gourmet crackers, cashew nuts and a nice chocolate bar to complete the wine gift basket. This wine gift basket looks great if you are on a low budget instead of just a wine bottle. The nibbles don’t cost much but show you’ve put in an effort. Mother’s would love this and it makes a great first impression on your girl’s parents (assuming you are looking to impress them!).

Triple delight wine gift basket: A slightly more expensive gift basket but only the best will do for dad! This wine gift basket skips all the frills and heads straight for 3 bottles of wine. Produced in limited quantities and released with restriction, here are 3 wines from one of America’s most respected wine cellars that would make a great addition to any self-respecting wine connoisseur’s cellar.
- Conn Creek 1999 Antholigy Meritage, Napa Valley, CA.
- Col Solare 1999 Proprietary Red, Columbia Valley, Washington.
- Northstar Merlot, Columbia Valley, Washington.

Let’s dine together wine gift basket: Here’s a novel way to ask someone for a date. Put together a gourmet pasta and wine gift basket and gift it to the guy / girl you want to have dinner with. You can suggest they cook up some of the pasta for you OR if they are not into cooking go ahead and offer to cook it up for them! Either ways, you stand to be the winner and who could refuse such a tempting treat. The pasta and wine gift basket can include Zinfandel wine, dipping crackers, Havarti pesto cheese, some spaghetti, crostatini and some liqueur cake.

Bartender’s delight wine gift basket: This wine gift basket is for the person who always plays bartender at parties. It also makes a great gift for anyone who likes to maintain a bar at home. To make the bartender’s delight wine gift basket, pick a wine gift basket and add a wine bottle to it. Choose a wine keeping in mind the person you want to gift it to. To that, add a wine opener, a corkscrew, two crystal wine glasses and a wine bottle holder. You can add an ice bucket too if you wish. All that a wine drinker or tender could ask for!

There are limitless choices for making your own wine basket. If you plan to go pick up the wine and assorted accessories yourself and group it into a wine gift basket it’s great. If however, you plan to order your wine gift basket online, make sure you check what the restrictions are regarding shipping to different states. Shipping charges too may be high since wine bottles are fragile. In any case, the wine gift basket is a gift you can’t go wrong with so go ahead and gift it to whoever you please!
