Food and Beverage Gift of Wine

Finding the gift of wine for that food and beverage person on your list is always a challenge and all to often we default to a nice bottle of wine in a gift bag. Well this year do something different. We have searched the Internet for unique food and beverage gifts that blow away that bottle of wine in a gift bag!

Private Label Wine

Our first choice is from Their unique concept allows you to make a personalized label for a bottle of wine. Yes, Signature Wines thats right, you just log on to their site and go to their label design area. From there you can upload a picture or graphic, add text or other graphics and poof you have a personalized label!

What makes this site so great is that you do not have to order ten cases or even one case at a time. You can get as few as two bottles per order, and pricing starts as low as $16 per bottle labeled (excluding shipping and taxes). The only drawback is that they can not ship to all 50 states as liquor laws in some states forbid shipping wine. Right now they can ship to AK, AZ, CA, CT, DC, FL, HI, ID, IL, IN, IA, MI, MN, MO, NC, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NY, ND, OH, OR, SC, TX, VA, WA, WI, WV, & WY. The process is also pretty quick where they ship out within three days of you finalizing the label so allow your self a good week if you want to make sure it makes it under the tree.

Chocolate Covered Wine?

Our second favorite gift you can get some great ideas here and go out and put together your own baskets or packages yourself and probably save a few dollars, but for those of you out there like me Im getting it at Gift Tree.

Wine Clubs

If you really want to get someone a special gift of wine think of a Wine of The Month Club. These are great as they often get people to try wines that are rarely thought of and are often great values. There are a multitude of clubs out there but by far the best is the Gourmet Monthly Clubs as they have wonderful wines, different levels, and you do not have to commit to a year at a time and can purchase from as little as a month to a year membership. This is the food and beverage gift that keeps on giving.

Wine Accessories

Finally we have found a great wine decanter at a great price from International wine Accessories. This is for that serious wine person on your list. Far too often we in the business just open those great bottles of wine, let them breath for a couple minutes then go at it. Taking that extra step would surely enhance the experience if we were to decant those fine bottles as we do for our guests. Giving this gift of wine will surely come with years of appreciation.
