The Best Mixed Red & White Wine Gifts & Gift Ideas

The Discovery Collection Gift Review

$160.00 at If Only

Wine tastings are loads of fun, but the experience doesn't always translate well outside of a formal tasting room. This gift brings a heavily-curated wine (and cider and ginger brew) tasting to your living room. Premier wine styles from leading wine regions around the world have been selected to showcase the world of wine (and cider and ginger brew).

The best part? Because they're all half-size bottles, the perfect size for sharing a glass or polishing off a bottle on your own, you really can experience it like a tasting and try a little bit of a few things without worrying about spoilage or drunken abandon.

Gift Details

• Case of 12 half-sized bottles curated by Debbie Zachareas
• 5 red wines from Willamette Valley, Cote du Rhone, Portugal, and various regions of California
• 1 rosé from Provence
• 1 sparkling wine from Trentino, Italy
• 3 white wines from Willamette Valley, California, and Piedmont, Italy
• 1 cider from Suffolk, England
• 1 ginger brew from Japan

Wine Down Box Gift Review

$70.00 at Wine Down Box

Wine pairings are notoriously tricky, but when the food and wine are paired perfectly, something magical happens. It doesn’t hurt when the foods you’ve paired are classic cheese and charcuterie!

California Wine Duo in a Gift Box Gift Review

$44.99 at Gold Medal Wine Club

Finding a high-quality wine gift that won’t break the bank can be a challenge. So many times we see inexpensive wine gifts where the cost of the gift is astronomical in comparison to the cost of the wine included.

This duo of California wine is actually just a one-time shipment from an outstanding monthly wine club, the Gold Series of Gold Medal Wine Club. We’ve received many shipments of wine from this company over the years and we are confident that for the money you can’t give a better one-time wine gift than this duo with the upgraded gift box.

Cape Cod Luxury Wine Basket Gift Review

$339.95 at GiftTree.com

In general we're a fan of wine gift baskets that have high-quality wines with designated regions and vineyards, and where the wines aren't brands at factory-style wineries, but rather actual working wineries operating under their own name. Gift Tree has some of the former, but plenty of options with the latter — like this gift basket which comes with Opus One Overture (an acclaimed wine) and two other excellent wines. But what Gift Tree often gets right is the other goodies in the basket — grilled antipasti, habanero pepper jelly, Ghirardelli and Godiva chocolates, and more.

Bonus: If Opus One Overture doesn't turn your crank, you can pick from a huge number of other ultra-premium well-known wines to feature in your personalized gift basket.

Gift Details

The Opus One Overture will be presented with Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Karia Chardonnay and Willamette Valley Vineyards Founders' Reserve Pinot Noir. The elegant keepsake container offers grilled vegetable antipasti, habanero pepper jelly, sweet and savory gourmet popcorn, Ghirardelli and Godiva luxury chocolates, strawberry pome frais and much more.

About Opus One Overture NV

• In keeping with the tradition of many great Bordeaux estates, Opus One produces a fine second wine called Overture. When these wine lots are afforded additional time in barrel, in combination with the added flexibility of blending across multiple vintages, the final wine achieves a remarkable elegance and complexity that represents a superb expression of our estate. This is Overture.
• Tasting Notes: Overture displays a vibrant garnet color with expressive aromas of fresh red fruit. Notes of bright cherry and red currant are underpinned by more earthy tones of ground cocoa, cedar and vanilla. Extended barrel aging gives the wine an elegant texture accentuated by round tannins and a soft mouthfeel.
• Blend: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 8% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec.
• Cellaring: Enjoy upon release, or cellar through 2025.

Organic Wine Duo Wine Gift Crate Gift Review

$54.95 at GiftTree.com

Organic wine hasn't yet developed as a sought-after item in the gifting marketplace, so pickings are slim if you're on the hunt for a wine gift for your favorite earth-friendly or pesticide-conscious wine-lover.

In this elegant gift, Bonterra presents their toasty chardonnay and bold, rich cabernet sauvignon. One bottle each of Bonterra Chardonnay, and Bonterra Cabernet Sauvignon.
