Wine is an excellent present for anyone you want to give something to, especially with a customised wine bottles. Whether it is your faithful friend, the local baker, your roommate, or your child’s teacher, it is rare that a bottle of wine is not appreciated. It can be as modest or extravagant as you want. There is always a lot of pressure to make the right choice. Like any gift, a bottle of wine sends a message. If you are not careful, this message could be the wrong one. Below we will cover the essential points to consider when buying and donating wine, so your gift is guaranteed to be well received.

Research

First, make sure that the person you buy for drinks is drinking alcohol. If it is a recovering addict, or if their faith prohibits the consumption of alcohol, giving them a bottle of an alcoholic wine will not go well. Make sure you know the person before buying alcohol.

Even if they don’t normally drink wine, you should be able to find one they like. But if alcohol is banned, it’s time to find an alternative.

Dinners

There are many occasions when you are invited to a meal, and you will want to bring a bottle of wine as a gift. It’s a good idea, but if you’re not careful, you may be disappointed.

You could spend a lot of time and effort choosing the perfect bottle to delight your host and other guests, and then having it left on the side, unopened, overnight. Either your host has already chosen their wine, or they have misinterpreted your gesture to mean that the wine is right for them, not to be shared.

Presentation

Handing over a bare bottle may seem rude or ill-considered. You give a gift; after all, it should be packed.

Wine gift bags are great because they are reusable. However, if you buy twenty bottles for twenty different people this year, the cost of gift bags could add up.

Here’s the perfect solution: When you buy wine, get a paper bag. Next, add an inexpensive ribbon or bow, and perhaps a small card or label. It is a relaxed and discreet way to offer someone the gift of a bottle. And it is entirely appropriate. After all, the quality of the wine, not the packaging, should show how much you care.
