Let’s say there’s an occasion that calls for a gift. A birthday. An anniversary. Congratulations on a job well done. Or thanks for inviting us to your beach house for the weekend. There are literally dozens of times each year that you’re charged with picking out a gift for someone special and dozens of opportunities to wow them with your good taste. 

So what to get? Forget flowers. Pass on perfume. Skip those impersonal gift cards. We’ve got a suggestion that’s both easy and always the right choice. Wine. It’s the best gift ever and here’s why: 

1. You’ll find a wine in every price range. Want to spend a lot, you definitely have choices, but the great thing about wine is that there are some outstanding bottles available today for under $20 and there are even great bottles to be found for around $10! 

2. There’s a wine for absolutely everyone. Wine aficionados aren’t the only ones who will appreciate a gift of wine. From Chardonnay to Chianti, Barolo to Zinfandel — light and sweet or bold and intense — wine has flavor profiles to suit every taste and pair with every meal.

3. Wine is for celebrations. Think of the best occasions — dinners out with friends, family meals, weddings, parties — chances are that wine is a big part of those occasions. Another reason why it makes the perfect gift.

4. They’ll probably want to share. It’s no fun drinking a bottle of wine alone, so chances are if you give them a bottle of wine they may just invite you to share it with them. Lucky you.

5. Wine is the star of any gift box. Pick out a gift box (we love the unique boxes available from GiftBoxPros.com), add a bottle (or two) of wine, choose some gourmet snacks, a novelty wine glass, a bottle opener, you name it, as long as wine is a part of the gift it’s a winner!


There you have it. Our top 5 reasons why wine makes the absolute perfect gift for any occasion. Don’t believe us? Give a bottle the next time you need to bring a gift and see how happy you’ll make the gift recipient!

Cheers!
