Bottle of wine - great gift for any occasion

To give wine is an idea that is never wrong. The choice depends on, to whom the gift is made and what occasion. Is it for a wedding, engagement, Christmas wine gifts etc. At first, you must determine what response should cause the gift.
Want to make happy people? Or to surprise and perhaps create a good impression? Whatever the case, the most important thing is to give away a good quality wine, not to get the opposite effect and instead of applause, cause offense. 

 

When we select wine for man, the choice is easy. Some think that men do not like sweet wine, but actually, most of the men (no matter they don't admit it) like such wines. If it is a close friend, surely you know what he likes. However, if the gift is for your boss, the job is much more complicated. The wine must be from a good harvest, but neither very expensive nor cheap. You need to find a happy medium. 

If you give away wine to a woman, the question is even easier. You can safely buy champagne or a lightly sparkling wine. Some women appreciate good wine, they love red and white wine.

For the beloved woman – here, the things come to slightly hypocrisy - it depends what effect you want to achieve, and if you hope the lady to drink of the wine that evening, you can prepare something that will act as an aphrodisiac, for example heavy red wine.
In any case, the wine is a great choice for a gift, which must be served with lots of love and smiles.
