The Perfect Wine Gift for Every Dad
Giving Dad wine for Father’s Day is a great idea. All of the wine gifts on this page can be delivered to Dad, or if you’ll be celebrating Dad in person, you can have them delivered to yourself and bring them with you on Father’s Day. These wine gifts are great for your actual Dad, your husband, your boyfriend, your brother, your buddies, your uncle, and your grandfather.
FYI: I find great wine deals so you don’t have to. To keep me on the hunt, I earn a commission when you buy wine based on my recommendations.
You may not be aware, but due to complex shipping laws, gifts of alcohol can’t be sent to every state from every state. You don’t need to worry... just select the state where you’ll ship the wine and we’ll let you know which gifts can be delivered there.
You are at WineClubReviews.net and wine subscriptions are what we know best. We recommend a 3- or 6- month wine club membership to help him get all the way through grilling season and into the fall. Check out these three wine of the month clubs we think are perfect for Dad this year.
Three-month gifts typically cost around $150. You can spend more with longer gifts and more expensive wine. If your budget is smaller, shop the one-time gifts in this guide or see more: Wine Gifts Under $100 and Wine Gifts Under $50.

Next Gift IdeaWhen it comes to wine, some men really want to impress their friends and family with their wine prowess. Often, this means an affinity for fine French or Italian wine like Bordeaux, Burgundy, Barolo, and Super Tuscans. Help Dad discover more French & Italian Wine to love with one of these gifts.
When it comes to France, you can find a wine for everyone to love. Well-known French wine regions tend to be very expensive, but fifth-generation wine industry insiders like Laurent Yung from SomMailier have access to great wine at affordable prices.

For years I've listened to wine lovers wax poetic about Italy and I never understood it. Then I started working with Roscioli — an authentically Roman company that is 100s of years old — and I began to understand what makes people so excited about Italian wine.
The Roscioli wine clubs ship directly from Rome. It's considered a quarterly wine club (because payments are made quarterly) but to simplify shipping requirements, they only ship it twice per year. They offer two levels of Italian wine clubs and two levels of Exceptional French & Italian Wine clubs. Prices range from 179-1000€ (~$210-1200, four times per year).
