Wine gift baskets are welcomed in almost every home and a combination basket can thrill that much more. Mix and match them—offer a treat of red and white wines, chardonnay, Bordeaux, cabernet, port, merlot, zinfandel or that special champagne.
Cashing in on the trends, many retailers, wineries and auction houses are offering discount wine baskets that will let you select a cross-section of wines at astonishingly competitive prices. They make treasured gifts of the latest and the most popular wines for the season. A 2004 variety or a 2001 vintage can be bought at a discount direct from the vineyard, and arouse much excitement and curiosity amongst your friends without burning your pockets!
Special blend wines, undiscovered Napa Valley finds or even the finest vintages can be snatched up through discount offers. Whether you wish to order a magnum, halves or a case of 12 bottles, discount wines can be tailor-made to suit your needs and budget. If you want to surprise someone with wines from Finland, Mauritius, Spain or Trinidad and Tobago, opt for discount offers to surprise and delight.
Brokers, retailers, and wholesale dealers of wine all offer discount wines at regular intervals. The trick is to read wine publications or be part of a wine enthusiast club so you know the latest on wines. Most members of wine clubs have instant access to discounts ranging from 8% to 20%, especially at new launches, wine-tasting galas or seasonal events.
Auction houses or suppliers source their wines from private individuals and global professional contacts. Many world-class wines can be picked up through these offers, so you don’t have to travel around the world to expand your oenophilic taste buds! Coordinate with friends or neighbors so that you can jointly pick up a large discount case and then share the spoils.
Internet auctions also offer rare, unusual wines that have a marked reserve price against which the bidding starts. While there are no minimum orders that limit your purchase of discount wines, there are extra delivery charges as well as the local taxes. Be aware of summer heat or winter cold fallout on your wine, too, before ordering your shipment.
Wines that may never have been reviewed or rated can also be experienced through discount offers. Share the joys of your complex wine adventures through discount wine gift baskets. You will definitely enjoy a long, full finish!
