Special drinks for birthdays – many of us like to treat friends and relatives to a bottle of quality, special alcoholic beverages. However, we don’t always know what would be the right choice.
Gift packages with special drinks
Our range of gift sets includes a variety of special combinations, whether it’s a premium wine selection or a champagne speciality. And you don’t have to worry about the packaging – paper gift bags are available to accompany each bottle, and some packages come pre-packaged in a gift box.
Such as the One Men show, which includes a bottle of Papale Primitivo di Manduria Linea Oro wine and a piece of Riedel universal wine glass. As the name suggests, a perfect gift for men.
Special birthday drinks – what to choose?
Choosing the perfect wine as a gift can be a daunting task, especially when you consider that the right bottle of wine can make a memorable impression when celebrating a special occasion.
The first step in choosing a gift is to understand that every occasion calls for a different wine. If you’re going to a dinner party, pair the wine with the food you’re serving, but it’s worth finding out what’s on the menu beforehand. For example, if you’re having a roast beef dinner, a rich, full-bodied red wine is a good choice.
If you are looking for a birthday gift, ask what types of grape the person likes and look for those, or choose a wine that you know the person doesn’t usually buy for themselves.
Wine is a matter of taste
Knowing the taste of the person you are giving the gift to is key. If you know him well, ask casually what wines or regions he prefers. You can also try to recall what wines he or she has mentioned before, or if you’ve had wine together, you may know which ones he or she likes.
It’s easier if the person concerned shares on social media what wines they like and want to taste.
If you are completely clueless, you can approach it from another angle. If the birthday boy or girl likes robust flavours, a full-bodied red wine might be a good choice, such as a cabernet sauvignon or a malbec.
For those who prefer lighter fare, wines with high acidity are recommended, such as a sauvignon blanc, pinot gris or Riesling. If you’re stuck for choice, it’s also worth looking at rosé wines, which are becoming increasingly popular for their versatility. Dry rosé can be refreshing for warm weather or informal gatherings, as it can suit a wide range of tastes and foods. And a sweeter one is perfect for a sweet tooth.
Wine regions and landscapes
The region where the wine is produced can have a big influence on its flavour profile. So you can also choose based on the regions that the recipient prefers. Bourdeaux, for example, is known for its robust red colours and sophisticated blends. The Napa Valley in the US is known for its high quality cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay. There are many famous wine regions, Burgundy, Tuscany, Mendoza and Rioja among others, all offering top quality drinks.
Our webshop offers you a special selection and premium quality if you want to buy a special drink as a gift or for yourself. You can choose from wines, sparkling wines and spirits by region, vintage and type. It’s also helpful if you don’t know exactly what you want, but prefer to decide based on your mood.
