Give Your Loved Ones the Gift of Wine



Christmas, New Year or Valentine's Day - times for sharing and exchanging gifts. If you are at your wits ends thinking of the perfect gift then there is no better option than a basket of wine and wine accessories.


Considering the options of wine gifts available in the market you will be spoilt for choices. A variety of wines are available in the market based on different kinds of grapes and the region of production. Red, white, dry or sparkling - you can gift any depending on your choice and preference. Wine gifts that top the list are the popular wine baskets. Wine baskets normally include a bottle of wine of your choice, smooth cheese, gourmet crackers, cashew nuts and a bar of chocolate. Prices vary on the choice of wine, the number of bottles in the basket and the combination of cheese, fresh fruits and chocolates. Prices start from as low as $40 and may shoot up to $400.


If you want to send a wine gift but are not sure as to the choice of wine then help is at hand with a variety of wine accessories to choose from. Nothing better than a set of crystal wine glasses or 'stemware'. It is important to know that different types of wines demand different types of glasses. Sparkling wines are served in flutes, red wines in glasses with a larger bowl and white ones in glasses with smaller bowls. Price of crystal glassware varies between $9 for a single glass and $100 for a set of 6. Decantling cradles or crystal decanters are also a good idea as wine gifts. There are different types of decanters for different types of wine and you can choose from the purely functional to the more extravagantly decorated ones. Prices range from as low as $10 for mini decanters to $45 for a capacity of 1.5 liters. Corkscrews and cork lifters made of chrome or silver are also a good idea for a wine gift.


If you prefer wood then you can go for a bottle balancer; it is a work of art and surely a wine lover's collection piece. Wine racks that come in different shapes and sizes can be an excellent wine gift idea. Books on wines or a gift membership to a wine club are also good wine gift ideas. And for both you have a variety of options to choose from.

Decoding "Hungry Like the Wolf" It's been far too long since this blog explored the lyrics of a popular song for the deeper meaning. (Last time was for Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On.) Today we'll explore the subterranean meaning of the lyrics to Duran Duran’s “Hungry Like the Wolf” (dedicated to Sancta Sanctis and K-Lo of NRO for their Duran Duran devotion):Dark in the city, night is a wire Steam in the subway, earth is a fire Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do The first stanza po

Last weekend my wonderful hubby took the kids and dogs out hiking/swimming so I could head out for a relaxing day at Fall Creek's Grape Stomp with M/D and R/J! I really had so much fun!! It was my first trip to a vineyard and this place was just beautiful! Exactly what I imagined a vineyard would look like. I took part in a 10 wine tasting, had a delish meal, specially made for the day by Texas Culinary Academy and stomped all around in the vat of their newest blend of athlete's food wine. {wi

KY horse lover in Siena, too bad I missed Il Palio - Siena, Tuscany, Italy

Jump to the full entry & travel map Siena, Tuscany, Italy We started this chilly morning in Siena. This was one of my favorite places. Siena streets were just what you pictured a small town in Italy to look like. The town is separated into several different sections or neighborhoods represented by animals. For example, some of the neighborhoods we saw had dolphins and snails. And each neighborhood has this animal on the buildings and fountains. Whenever there is a

Wine: Grape pretenders (Independent)

If you were a grape, what kind do you think you'd be: Charmaine Chardonnay, Girty Gewürz, Micky Merlot or a tongue-tied and confused Cserszegi Fuszeres? Every grape has its own distinct identity, and it's that "varietal" persona that helps us to work out the flavour and style of the wine that it will produce. Like their human counterparts, some grapes are stars, others boring, some have ...
