What should I put in a wine lover's gift basket?

Sponsored links:

October 17, 2008 - I need some ideas of what to put in a gift basket for a wine lover... Obviously I'll put a few bottles of wine. But what else could I put with this that they would not already own?

Responses:

well most people compliment wine with cheese and crackers, fruit, such as grapes and strawberries, small boxes of choclates, ect
How about some cheese and crackers????
If the person loves wine already - I'd avoid the corkscrew or the glasses. Chances are they already have several corkscrews and already have good glasses. I'd put in a few bottles of wine, some crackers, some chocolates, possibly some cheese (if you will be giving it to them where they can refrigerate it within 3 hours), some *travel* wine glasses, some fun wine stoppers, some pithy wine coasters, and perhaps a few books like 'the wine lover's dessert cookbook' or 'the cheese course'. If you are near wineries, see if you can get a few tasting certificates for them. I'd even consider doing some really high end pasta sauce and a artisan pasta - most gourmet shops and some wine shops will carry this type of thing. Good luck in your searches! : )
a gift certificate to a wine maker a wine tasting box (has the stuff you smell before you taste) a couple of Nice wine glasses
Gift certificates for a taxi cab :) Seriously, I think most of the great ideas have already been listed. The only other thing I can think to suggest would be monogrammed cocktail napkins?
well you could get that person some really nice wine glass's. or some chocolate. the best thing to eat with wine is desert.
Try including fine crackers, delicious cheese (like Spanish Manchego or French Brie), stuffed olives, maybe some dried fruit, pate, and two beautiful wine glasses, or maybe a decanter...
I live in wine country ( Napa ) so take it from me.... chocolate, cheese, a cute little cheese knife, a wine opener, and maybe some water crackers if you put cheese in the basket. Wine goes really well with chocolate as well as cheese so little things like that make for a great gift basket. Good luck :-)
wine glass markers decreative corks new wine bottle opener chocolates crackers and cheese candles
This would be an expensive one: Two Riedel glasses to match the kind of wine you are giving One Metrokane screwpull opener One Vacu Vin rapid ice wine chiller One wine decanter One wine drip stop ring Various cheeses and crackers
Goblets, cork screw, crackers, cheeses, smoked seafood, sausage, fruits, nuts, decadent cookies, seasoned popcorn, pretzels, roasted almonds, candies. http://www.gifttree.com/v3/Wine_Gifts.html
A fancy wine opener, cheese and crackers, some wine glasses, and maybe some pasta, as long as the wine goes with a pasta dinner......maybe a gift certificate to a local winery for wine tasting. Be creative and use your imagination, I can go on, but I will keep this rated G....okay PG13.
hearty cheeses to enjoy with the wine..I like peccorino or parano anice bottle of dolcetto AND A BARBARESCO WOULG MAKE A GREAT GIFT BASKET
Go to Tabletop tools.com, they have a wine opener that uses a needle like point with a little gas cartridge in it. You insert the point into the cork and press a button releasing the gas inside the bottle forcing the cork out. I gave this to my mom and she liked so much she started giving them away as gifts to her friends.
You could put any of the following: Double-hinged corkscrew Icewine chocolates Wine jellies or jams A wine stopper or two Wine glasses Check with your local wine shop to see what other small items they carry.
