Go for the hand crafted ones as this will make it even more special and it will also be something that the person will be able to use repeatedly.

You can also consider giving away cheap bottles of wine if you are only going to give it to random small customers. It will still give away your message of thoughtfulness. But, this is not really a good idea. Aside from the bottle of wine, you also need to put in other treats in the basket. Think about what goes great with a bottle of fine wine. However, you need to remember that it s still important to pair the wine with the right chocolate.

Lastly, you have to decorate the wine gift basket. Here s a brief buying guide for wines that will come in handy when you are ready to go to the nearest winery or vineyard to buy a bottle of wine for your wine gift basket. Merlot is a great choice for new red wine drinkers. If you want a full bodied red wine, you should go for Cabernet Sauvignon. Pinot Noir is a much more delicate wine with fruity flavor.
