Got an invitation to a party or to visit someone? Awesome! A bottle of wine is a great gift to bring, but what kind of wine? Here are a few tried-and-tested bottle gifts that are sure to hit the mark.
Break the ice with humor – a wine gift that brings laughter
Going as a plus-one to a party where you don't really know the host? What would the party organizer like when you don't even know who they are? No worries at all, because sparkling wines offer a fun solution for this situation.
Silly humor if anything brings people together, and the joker of their own life is fun company at parties. Playfulness also works brilliantly as a gift, and it easily breaks even the toughest ice.
For this situation, we especially recommend En v*ttu tiiä sparkling wine, which many who follow social media humor will surely recognize. What the heck, EVT bubbly exists? Well, hell yes.
The cheeky bottle of sparkling wine created in collaboration with @envittutiiaofficialin poses the question: gym or bubbly? Well, you can always make it to the gym later...
Inside you'll find an approachable and lively German sparkling wine that you'll happily toast with both new and old friends. Cheers!
A wine bottle like a bouquet of flowers
Does the recipient have an eye for beautiful things and objects?
A gift wine packaged in a stunning bottle can even be a decorative element at its best, and many want to save an especially beautiful bottle as decoration even after enjoying it.
A beautiful package doesn't take away from the wine's other merits. Case in point: Gloria Grillo with its charming lemons, or Baron de Ley Semi Dulce, which brings a summery flower meadow even in the middle of winter. Beautiful wines fit festive occasions like a glove, so now you can dress up stylishly and grab an equally stylish gift to bring along.
P.S. We recommend matching your greeting card to the same theme too!
A wine for green values
Many trust organic wines, and for good reason. Organic production nurtures the common good by caring for biodiversity and utilizing nature's own tricks in viticulture and winemaking. And there are plenty of those. Organic production is quite regulated, and organic farms use, for example, compost and green manure for fertilization and pest control.
A great example of making wine in cooperation with nature is the delightful red wine Merino Organic, where the playful sheep label already tells you who's wandering around the vineyards. The autumn and winter maintenance of the vineyards is handled by a large flock of Merino sheep, and chemicals are used only minimally. Merino is the top sheep breed in this wine's home region of Alentejo.
The producer of this balanced and acidic berry-like red wine, Casa Relvas, is otherwise very aware when it comes to sustainability. If you want to read more about the producer, you can access the article here.
A sparkling choice for the wine-conscious
Does your friend have a special occasion, and a classy move would be to bring something quality as a gift? Maybe the celebrant is simply a fan of quality drinks? A festive bottle is a plus, but the contents must also be top-notch. We have the perfect idea for the situation.
We mean, of course, golden-glowing, authentic Alsace crémant. Wolfberger Cuvée Célébration Unique is literally a bottle full of gold.
This sparkling wine that will delight even connoisseurs has Chardonnay grapes carefully selected from chosen plots, and a long maturation of up to 30 months has created an elegant and stylish masterpiece from a winery that was involved in creating the entire Crémant d'Alsace quality classification.
A safe gift wine choice – you can't go wrong with these!
Where to find a wine that works as a gift for just about anyone?
The smooth, quality red wine Casa Charlize Cuvee Forte Toscana Rosso IGT packaged in a polished bottle fulfills your wildest dreams – as well as those of the evening's hosts. And at a reasonable price too. Wow!
This red wine is a suitably full-bodied yet not heavy glass that can appeal even to many non-red-wine lovers. So no worries if you're not quite sure whether the recipient was a red or white wine person. With this choice, both everyday meals and authentic Italian pizzas are elevated.
P.S. Did you bring this last time? If it tasted great, how about bringing the new addition to the same lovely Italian series next time: Casa Charlize Cuvee Notte Puglia IGT? Something familiar, but something new – a total hit.
The Apulian newcomer is worth ordering in advance from Alko's online store, so it will be waiting for you at your chosen store and you'll ensure availability. There's no extra cost for ordering. Grab a gift bag of your choice from the shelf at the same time, and that's it. Easy as pie!
