Getting the Gift


Wine is always in style and always a perfect – and appropriate - gift for friends, family or colleagues. That does not mean it's always easy to pick out the right wine gift. You want the wine to match the occasion, the season, and the recipient's personality. Here are a few tips and ideas for gifts with class.

We make it easy...

Clubs
If you don't want to say it once, but instead what to be remembered all year long, Wine.com wine clubs are the way to go. They are a wonderful way to introduce wine lovers to new and different wines or help aspiring collectors to build their wine cellar. Our Wineclubs offer that personal touch that keeps giving and giving...

Go Vintage
People love vintage – vintage clothes, vintage cars, vintage furniture - vintage wine is no different. The stamp of a year, or the vintage, can be a big deal on certain wines. In particular, Port. A vintage port is a stand out gift that has a bit of class and regality behind it. Port is known as the Englishman's drink. Yes, port is from Portugal, but most of it was exported to Britain for centuries and enjoyed with a cigar after dinner. While we may not have must of that post-dinner ceremony any more, we do look at port as a somewhat regal drink. Beyond vintage port, there are a slew of other options, like aged tawny from 10 years to 20 years.

Sweet and Sassy
To enjoy one of the world's greatest sweet wines is a decadent pleasure. One we don't often allow for ourselves, which makes sweet wine the perfect gift. Great dessert wines are truly remarkable – they offer an unique balance of sugar and acid that coats the palate and makes it water at the same time. From Port and Hungary's Tokaji to Bordeaux's Sauternes and Australia's sticky Muscats, the list is diverse and quality is unparalleled.

Collectors Items
Some wines are classic collectibles – Bordeaux, cult Cabernets from California, Burgundy... Whatever your fancy, we have something to fit that aspiring collector on your gift list. Our collectibles can be enjoyed now, or put down for a decade or so. These wines are ideal for anyone who appreciates quality, patience and age in their wine.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine
Green Wines
Wines that use sustainable, organic and/or biodynamic practices in the vineyard and/or winemaking process. We rely on a number of U.S. and International certifications to qualify wines "green."
Collectible wine
Collectible
These wines will improve from additional bottle age, when properly stored, and may show the greatest potential to increase in value.
Great Wine Gifts
Great Wine Gifts

These wines are made in limited quantities and are typically produced from single vineyard sources or made by small, artisanal wineries. While the winery may produce larger quantities, we limit wines with this designation to a 1,000 case production.

About Professional Ratings

These wine ratings are based on a 100-point quality scale, and are selected by each publication's unique criteria. Some wine ratings are expressed as ranges. When this occurs we will list the highest score in the range and note the full range within the tasting note.

While ratings may influence your decision, the ultimate judgment is your palate.
