Choosing a Wine Gift Basket
Choosing a Wine Gift Basket
by: Peter
During the holiday season, most of us are in a frantic search for presents for loved ones and friends. Next time, instead of the usual hassle of selecting a gift which will suit him or her, try sending a wine gift basket instead. Wine gift basketsare a perfect present for both men and women and suit every occasion e.g. Birthdays, Weddings etc. The information below will help you select an appropriate wine gift for that special occasion.
Who will be receiving the wine gift basket?
Men will prefer a bottle of wine, which they can open and drink immediately or store in their own wine cabinet (The smile when he or she unwraps the present to discover a 1990 Bordeaux is priceless) whereas women are usually more delighted with a wine accessory e.g. Corkscrew, Crystal Wine glasses or a decanter. Below are the four basic questions you need to ask yourself before you shop for a wine gift.
What is the occasion?
Different wine gift baskets are suitable for various occasions. Wine gift baskets are a favorite for parties. The numerous items within will allow everyone to enjoy the gift and enjoy the wine with delicious tidbits as well. Wine merchants also have wine gift baskets for special occasions such as Valentine's Day, Christmas etc.
What is your budget?
Most nifty wine gift baskets can be had for $25-$50 although fine wines will be more expensive. Wine gifts often include cheese and chocolates (a favorite with children). Just remember it is the thought that counts!
What is their knowledge of Wine?
If the wine gift is for a beginning wine enthusiast, then a well-written book on enjoying wine will be an excellent gift whereas an expert wine enthusiast might enjoy having a stopper for the half empty bottle of wine. Try to find a wine gadget that he does not already own, most people will be touched by the thoughtfulness of your gift. The wine gadget will also remind him/her of your friendship each time he enjoys a bottle of fine wine.

Organic Wine Items For Viewing
European Cuvee White
We have our first very unique wine made from grapes of several different countries, namely Germany and Italy. The New European Union allows wineries to purchase the types of grapes best suited for the type of wine they want to craft at reasonable competitive price. The wine is semi-fruity, soft, with a somewhat racy finish. European Cuvee White has no vintage, since the grapes come from different countries. This is the first of such wines; you will see more of these delicious wines coming to the marketplace in the future. Serve chilled. Perfect gift to buy online! EWCWS7NV EWCWS7NV

Girls’ Night Out - Part 2
Sun, 19 Oct 08 15:02:25 -0700
Several hours later we were on our way back to Donna’s after a rather wild evening. We had spent the first part of our night travelling from bar to bar, drinking, chatting, laughing and flirting with any good looking men. We’d then moved on to a club and spent a couple of hours dancing, with some more drinking, chatting laughing and flirting thrown in. Far from Shelly feeling daunted by the prospect of going out as single woman again, she seemed to relish it, showing a remarkable ability to eff
Wine Worse for Breast Cancer than Heredity
Sun, 19 Oct 08 14:41:16 -0700
Ask women what’s the most common cause of breast cancer and most will say heredity. The sad truth, however, is that heredity accounts for only about 5% of all cases of breast cancer while lifestyle choices are more often to blame. One often-overlooked contributor to the development of breast cancer is alcohol intake, including the wine we enjoy with dinner. One large glass of wine (12% alcohol) often measures 250 milliliters (ml), or about 8.5 fluid ounces, and it is the equivalent of two or t
Carpet of Gold
Sun, 19 Oct 08 14:10:40 -0700
An exceptionally mild autumn here so far, and with little wind, which has meant that the falling leaves have made carpets in various shades of gold beneath the trees, from where I have gathered them up and "bagged" them. The bags will have holes punched in their bottoms, and then be piled up behind the summerhouse. In a years time, I will open them up and hopefully find soft, crumbly leafmold, which I'll then add to home made compost to make a potting and seed medium for next spring.
