Bowl White
Choosing Elegant Wine Baskets
Of all the types of gift baskets, a wine gift basket is the most elegant present to give. Wine is a gift that most people appreciated and can be given for an array of occasions. The most popular occasions though are Christmas, New Years, anniversaries, weddings and birthdays.
The first choice in creating a wine gift basket will be that of the wine itself. The wine will determine all the other items in the basket. Wine typically comes in two varieties. Red wines are made from the black and red grapes. The most popular choice for red wine is the Cabernet sauvignon, Merlots and Grenaches. Merlots are full-flavored wines that provide a hint of chocolate, while Grenaches hint of raspberries.
White wines are usually drier wines. The most popular variety of white wine is the chardonnay. Chardonnays have a fruity taste. However, almost all white wines have a hint of vanilla.
Choosing the right wine can be a difficult task. Wine retailers usually have recommendations based on the occasion, your budget, the recipient, etc. All of these factors are important in choosing the right wine. For example, if you are buying a gift basket for an experienced wine enthusiast, you may want to find a more interesting wine. On the other hand, a beginning enthusiast will enjoy a mid-range bottle of wine.
After choosing the wine, the next step is to decide on the other items that you will include in the basket. Food is a common accessory. However, food choices should be made with the type of wine and the preferences of the receiver in mind. Some foods go better with one type of wine than others. Common food selections are sesame crackers, cheeses, chocolates, nuts, fruits and olives. Be sure to consult a wine and food pairing chart to ensure the correct food choice for the wine that has been chosen.
A common accessory included in many gift baskets is the wine glass. Wine glasses are almost as particular as the wine itself. The type of wine chosen will determine the type of glass in which the wine is served. Red wines are served in glasses with shorter stems and larger bowls. White wines are served in long stemmed glasses with small bowls. Champagne is served in fluted glasses.
Finally, other items can be used to finish off the basket. For example, a beginning wine enthusiast might enjoy some literature about the history of wines or how to choose a wine. Also, depending on the feel you want the basket to have, you might include some products not related to wine. For example, a gift basket for an anniversary present might include a red wine, a box of chocolates, strawberries, two glasses, and some spa products so that it has a romantic feel.
