How to Gift Wine : Wine Gifting Etiquette | Food Network
Give the perfect bottle of wine to your host, boss, best friend and everyone in between. A bottle of wine can be tricky to gift. It can feel like an impersonal, last-minute afterthought if you don't have a strategy, but when done right, it can be a thoughtful and creative treat for the wine lover on your list!Stopping by the wine shop on the way to a gathering and stumped on which bottle to buy? When in doubt, pick a sparkling wine! Not only are bubbles festive and fun, but they are highly versatile and are sure to pair well with whatever is on the menu. Extra points if you choose a bottle of French Champagne, which is always a treat.Another excellent option for a party: magnum bottles. These are twice the size of a standard bottle (1500 ml vs. 750) and are impressive to pop and pour. Holiday parties are a time where you can't have too much wine!As a rule, plan to spend more on a host gift bottle than something you might pop on the couch on a casual weeknight. Think of all of the time, money and effort your hosts invested in the evening. This is the time to properly show your appreciation with a special-occasion-worthy wine, like Darioush 2018 Signature Cabernet Sauvignon.
