Wine Gift Ideas for Christmas
Wine Gift Ideas for Her
1. The 12 Nights of Christmas Tasting
A wine tasting that deserves to be number one on this list! The 12 Nights of Christmas wine tasting from Vinebox is the #1 best wine gift idea for Christmas.
Think an Advent calendar, but for adults! Get 12 different tubes of wine to taste with your partner or loved ones as you count down to the holiday.
I love Vinebox, they always send insanely interesting wines from all over the world. A perfect way to try new wines from different regions that your wine lover might not be able to get their hands on otherwise!
2. Wine and Pottery Class
I am obsessed with pottery recently and I know I would LOVE to be gifted a class on how to use a wheel. Really, any art class is a great gift for those nature-loving girlies!
Offer a delicious bottle of wine and a voucher for an art class that is attached to the bottle with twine. You can make this look so cute!
Art classes, or any class in general, is a great gift idea for couples and best friends because you can do it together (maybe even have the bottle of wine before hand wink wink).
3. Wine and Chocolate Gift Basket
A stellar wine gift idea for Christmas is a classic wine and chocolate gift basket! Find the best wine and chocolate pairings, and put together a cute basket for best friends, moms, aunts, and ALL other wine lovers!
I love this idea because you can pair wine and chocolate to the season, so for example, pair a cabernet sauvignon with dark chocolate and throw in a fuzzy blanket for a wintery holiday gift!
4. Stanley Wine Tumblr
We can't ignore the love for Stanley's recently, right?! I find myself LOVING them, and this Stanley wine tumblr is no different! They come in so many cute colors too, she will be obsessed!
A versatile wine mug she can take to parties, sitting outside, watching movies, camping, to the airbnb, etc. Plus, it won't break (unlike its wine glass counterpart).
5. High Class Wine Glasses
Last, but not least! High end wine glasses are a great gift idea for your wine lover friends and I'll tell you why: They might not want to buy them for themselves!
I know I have a harder time buying these types of nice things for myself so when my family and friends gets me high class gifts it really means a lot.
These high class wine glasses are the ultimate choice, it can be used for all wines so it is more versatile and your friend/family can use it more often!
6. YETI Wine Chiller
Ok, seriously, who came up with this over at YETI because it's amazing. A wine cooler that fits one bottle of wine and keeps it nice and chilled.
If you are like me and love summer drinking, or live in a hot place, this would be a perfect wine gift idea for Christmas that any wine lover will adore!
All of the colors are adorable and would match perfectly with a Stanley wine tumblr, wink wink!
Wine Gift Ideas for Friends
7. Omre After Drink
When I was in the height of drinking a lot in college I found a hack where I would take Milk Thistle herbal supplement before going out drinking. It is said to help your liver process alcohol better, allegedly easing hangover symptoms.
I found great success in my new found strategy!
Now, people are understanding the assignment and coming out with herbal concoctions! Omre has Milk Thistle (what I used in college) PLUS tons of other herbs and vitamins for an easy morning after, even better than what I was using!
A wine gift idea for Christmas for those ladies who are interested in health and wellness, but still like to have a glass or two of wine.
8. Bottle of Natural Wine & Herbalism
For those who love health and wellness would ADORE a bottle of natural wine paired with an herbalism book. (Books are just the best gift ideas!)
Natural wine gets an interesting reputation, it seems to have 100 different definitions. Though, there are 3 ancient winemaking methods to (what we believe) is a true natural wine, and you will see for yourself in that guide!
For a natural wine gift idea for Christmas, Santa Julia is a winery in Argentina. They have certified organic vineyards and add zero sulfites in this bottle of malbec! Plus, a malbec is a great wine for the holidays, easy drinking and a crowd pleaser!
Throw in this book on herbalism to round out the natural gift idea for Christmas she is guaranteed to adore.
Are you interested in natural wines?
For all my natural-loving ladies out there, I created this FREE guide to help you discover the art of ancestral wines!
It highlights the 3 top ancestral methods of making natural wines we still use today that you can go out and find! Trust me, you’ll love it!
9. Uncorking the Past
Am I adding too many books here?! Books are seriously such a great gift idea! Uncorking the Past by Patrick E. McGovern is the ultimate account of our long history with fermented drinks.
He has travelled all over the world studying the evolutions of wine, beer, mead, and even sake! From finding particles in clay pots they can conclude what fermented drink was in there, at what time period, and why...
A great account that describes ancient traditions and how they used fermented drinks in rituals, ceremonies, and more. I love this book and it helped me find a better relationship with wine and is a great gift idea!!
10. Fine Wine, seriously!
When I search for the best wine gift ideas for Christmas I find the accessories, backpacks, blah blah blah. But, I never see anyone recommending fine wines as a gift idea.
Why the heck not?! People LOVE being gifted wines that they might not buy themselves! It is a truly special gift that speaks for itself, as in, you don't need to add a gift basket, or other additives to make it special.
So, how do you find a good fine wine? I filtered the searches at wine.com for French wines from the Bordeaux region, to see them click here. These are revered as the top wines in the world from the best winemaking region.
Do you see how many high ratings each one has (the number in the 90s in the blue circle)?! Yes, these will be a stellar wine gift idea for Christmas she, or anyone, will adore!
11. Wine Preservation System
The ULTIMATE wine accessory for a gift this holiday is a wine preservation system! This system allows you to pour a glass of wine without even taking out the cork, plus it quickly aerates red wines in a matter of seconds!
You can have one glass now and one glass in 6 months if you wanted to! I love this because I can't drink that much wine in one sitting usually. So to be able to just have a glass here and there is an absolute game changer!
A great gift idea for those who *maybe* don't drink that much and have a hard time opening a bottle of wine because they can't finish it all!
I believe these are all great wine gift ideas for Christmas she will adore! Personally, I would adore all of these (though I have most of them) so I know the ladies out there would love them too!!
