Red Wine Tasting Gifts

Know a red wine lover? You’re not alone! But did you know that there are two types of red wine lovers (according to moi)? The first group will drink any wine as long as it’s red and often gives little thought to what’s really in the glass. The second group is very particular about the red wines they like and only want to drink their favorites.

What kind of red wine lover are you shopping for? If they’re in the first group of "anything as long as it’s red" then I recommend a red wine gift basket or a red wine sampler. If they’re particular about what they like, start with Napa Valley red wine, Bordeaux red wine, and Italian red wine.

Hot tip: red wines in magnums make great gifts because wine ages more slowly in bigger bottles. Buy an aged red wine in magnum for drinking now or a younger one they can stash in their cellar for years from now.

For wine lovers, discovering new wine is fun, but spending your own money on the discovery can take some of the fun out of it. This is why wine tasting gifts — bottle sets, samplers, mini bottles, and even wine subscriptions — are such a wonderful gift for wine drinkers.

On this page you’ll find wine gifts for exploring all kinds of wine: red wine, white wine, sweet wine, sparkling wine, organic wine, natural wine, French wine, Italian wine, and almost anything you can think of.

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.
