Giving The Perfect Wine Gift Basket

By Frank Gomes

When you are looking for the perfect gift, but are undecided about what to choose, consider a gourmet wine gift basket. The recipient of a nice gourmet wine gift basket is never disappointed. It is an impressive gift and comes with wine, gourmet food, crackers, and chocolate.

There are a number of different types of wine baskets. Most baskets are built around a theme. You may choose a fine wine, or a wine from a specific winery or region of the country. These types of baskets generally emphasize the wine.

Regional wines are used to create unique gourmet wine gift baskets. California wines, Washington wines, French wine, or Spanish wines are great choices for gift baskets. These types of baskets will also include gourmet items from the selected region. This can include anything from gourmet chocolates to gourmet cheeses. Local jellies and jams are also often part of a gourmet wine basket.

Buying a gourmet wine gift basket can be simple or complex. Look through wine magazines for ideas, or, shop online for a gourmet wine gift basket. A number of online options are available with beautiful wine collections. There are also shops and boutiques in your town that offer ready-made gourmet wine baskets.

It is fun and creative to make your own gourmet wine gift basket. This allows you to use your imagination and creativity. It is also very simple. The first thing you need is a basket. Find a basket at your local craft store or fabric store.

Once you have a basket, select a wine or wines. Add red wine and a sparkling wine or white wine and a sparkling wine. If you want to really treat your recipient, add all three to your gift basket.

A nice touch is to add wine accessories. Consider things like cork screws, nice glasses, or even wine and cheese. Adding crackers with a delectable spread is a nice option, as well. The key is to choose items that reflect your imagination and the tastes of the gift recipient.
