Holiday Wine Gifts - Last Minute Wine Gift Ideas

We have all been there. We have the kids' gifts taken cared of. Now we are on to our adult friends, family, or hostess gifting. Being the wine lovers we are, we love to share our experience but do we know what friends "really" like? Even those we know that drink wine?

Do they like red or whites? Sweet or dry? Californian, French, Italian? The options are endless and you'd like to make it work. Here some reasonably priced and practical use ideas to try to help:

• Silvadore Wine Gifts. Naturally, we suggest you check out the Silvadore Brands Collection, and/or check out the Silvadore YouTube Channel. Popular gifts include the Silvadore Wine Preserver, the Silvadore Wine Stain Remover, and the always fun and popular Soiree Home Wine Buffs. 
  
• Decorative bottle stoppers. These can be fun and, with a little creativity personalized. Shop online or visit a display in any store handing wine accessories and you’ll come up with ideas. Below are 2 examples - The Crab and the Love. I’m originally from Maryland and the crab would fit right in. Use the same if you want to tease a friend about their personality? Love certainly has a universal theme around it.

• Wine charms. These too can be whimsical and personal. When people get used to using them, it certainly avoids confusion on whose glass is whose and fewer extra glasses get used (hence washed). Just placing a little thought makes it personal.

No matter what, depending on your price point, you can always include a bottle of wine as part of the gift. Does not have to be expensive, may be a different varietal that people rarely think to try. I love trying new wines and there are very reasonably priced ones such as a Tempranillo from Spain, a Torrentes from Argentina, or a Pinotage from South Africa. Hey it's only a bottle and it's a gift and who’s going to be brand conscious with it...they’ll be wine conscious!

Be sure to gift wrap and include a personal note relating to the gift given (i.e. "I hope you’ll use this often and think of me/us" or "I know you are adventuresome, here's another adventure"). Add a canister of Silvadore Wine Preserver and they will have a really nice and unique wine gift for this holiday season.

Cheers!
