Explore our top 5 festive red wine gifts, with wines from across the globe and Christmas foods that will make even the biggest Scrooge get in to the spirit, this year.
5 Festive Red Wine Gifts
The Red Wine and Festive Treat Hamper
Let’s start with the Christmas favourites that feature in The Red Wine and Festive Treat Hamper.
There is not only vegan-friendly luxury mince pies and a classic Christmas pudding, but also a Christmas pudding flavoured dark chocolate bar. It is packed with flavours of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and ginger – literally, Christmas aromas wrapped up in silver paper.
In addition, there is vegan fudge, black truffle crisps and delicate ginger thin biscuits, too.
And then, we come to the red wine. The Red Wine and Festive Treat Hamper contains a bottle Las Carlinas Garnacha. This Spanish red is light but flavoursome and will pair perfectly with the range of festive treats.
This is a wonderful red wine gift for a couple to share or as a luxury thank you gift, delivered direct to the door of someone very special, this Christmas.
The Magic of Christmas Hamper
Next, we wanted to share with you a red wine gift, which is packed into our very special wicker lidded hampers, with traditional straps.
It really does bring childhood wonderment to the gift recipient at Christmas time, as they not only unwrap their special gift, but then get to slowly life the lid to see what delights await inside.
In The Magic of Christmas Hamper, once again you will find one of our favourite red wine, the Spanish Las Carlinas Garnacha. It really is full of flavour, with hints of berried fruit and spice.
This wine perfectly complements the Christmas flavours found in the mince pies, Christmas pudding and fruit cake. Plus, there is a bar of apple and cinnamon milk chocolate, also by Choc Affair.
As well as an excellent bottle of red wine, there is luxury coffee and premium English afternoon tea to drink. With crisps, popcorn and shortbread biscuits too, there is the making of a full festive spread.
Who do you know who enjoys a real range of great tasting sweet treats and festive foods, as well as a good glass of red?
The Classic Christmas Food and Wine Hamper
From a sweet offering, to something more savoury, now. In our Classic Christmas Food and Wine Hamper, the red wine lover will find the ultimate accompaniment – cheese.
Snowdonia's award-winning 'Rock Star' cheese is the star of the show – a blue wax coated vintage cheddar, aged in a cave in north Wales.
There are Fig and Spelt Sourdough Crackers, as well as spiced plum chutney, to accompany the cheese. And then, to really bring a taste experience to this Christmas, there is a bottle of the finest Rioja. It is a red wine which is fresh and vibrant, with notes of cherry, strawberry and raspberry.
Surprise friends and neighbours with one of these truly luxurious red wine gifts.
The Luxury Festive Flavours Gift Box
Next up we have a red wine gift recommendation that is special to us, because we are passionate about offering food and wine hampers that accommodate all dietary requirements, as well as preferences.
The Luxury Festive Flavours Gift Box is completely gluten free.
There is no compromise on taste. And, our wonderful gifting experts have selected (and taste tested!) a great variety of festive sweet and savoury treats, including a Dundee fruit cake, double chocolate fudge, sweet chilli nuts, crisps and gourmet popcorn.
For a red wine gift that offers something a little different, our favourite mulled wine takes centre stage. Jacob Marley’s Mulled Wine (…do you love the name as much as we do?!) is well-balanced with a blend of cloves, cinnamon and orange. Just warm through and enjoy that nostalgic scent of Christmas.
Packed into our signature gift box, this is the perfect example of how festive red wine gifts can bring an instant Christmassy feel to a whole household. For him or for her, if you need a gluten free gift, then we hope this is what you choose.
The Christmas Eve Wine & Nibbles Gift Basket
And our last recommendation for a festive red wine gift is something that perhaps you would like to buy for yourself or for your partner, to enjoy together before the chaos of Christmas truly begins.
The Christmas Eve Wine and Nibbles Gift Basket is the ultimate “Christmas Eve Gift for Adults”.
Once the kids have enjoyed theirs and are tucked up in bed dreaming of Santa, it’s time for you and your partner to enjoy some very special treats.
This red wine gift basket includes cheese, salami, rillette, olives, nuts and crisps.
A nibble of each one will truly complement a sip of the rich 100% Malbec included in this hamper, from one of our favourite Argentina vineyards, the Gauchezco Estate. It is a full-bodied red wine, with dark fruit flavours and a smoky finish.
After all of the Christmas preparation and gifts secured for everyone else, why not enjoy this one all to yourselves as you relax on Christmas Eve? Spend some wonderful quality time together.
