Wine Gift Baskets: A Great Gift Idea


It's always difficult to think of a suitable gift idea at the last minute. You don't want to spend money on something that will just be regifted, but finding the right thing can be daunting. If you're the type of shopper that's loath to go anywhere near a mall during the holiday shopping season, the Internet offers a myriad of alternatives--almost too many.

If you want a sure-fire choice, consider a wine gift basket. It's a versatile choice. Usually a great bottle of wine or champagne is paired with something delicious. It might be the traditional cheese, but it could also be something novel like imported cookies. Often companies that sell wine baskets sell non alcoholic baskets filled with things like coffee, tea, and other yummy snacks. Who can say no to a chocolate lover's picnic basket filled with chocolate-covered truffles and champage? Now that's an excellent pairing that will make your gift an instant hit.

Here are some popular categories:

  • Non Alcoholic Baskets
  • Chocolate Gifts
  • Wine Baskets
  • Champagne Baskets
  • Ben & Jerry's Baskets
  • Coffee/Tea Baskets
  • Kosher Baskets
  • Chamnpagne Baskets
  • Beer Baskets
The foodstuffs in these baskets are fresh and gourmet quality. The recipient is bound to feel special. The categories should cover your gift giving requirements for more than just the Christmas season. Specialty baskets for such occasions as graduations, retirements, and promotions have already been thoughtfully created. Of course, it's possible to have the your choice shipped directly to the lucky recipient. Just remember the time of year and act accordingly.

the butter wars

Some of us prefer good wine, others olive oils and aged vinegars. I, on the other hand, will splurge on good dairy products at the drop of a hat. My love of dairy probably stems from the fact that I had none growing up. A great many Chinese are lactose-intolerant, and the rest do not have a taste for milk or cheese.

SCIENTISTS AT CALTECH and Stanford recently published the results of a peculiar wine tasting. They provided people with cabernet sauvignons at various price points, with bottles ranging from $5 to $90. Although the tasters were told that all the wines were different, the scientists were in fact presenting the same wines at different prices.

Sometimes a beheading is just a be
