Wine as a gift

[Deleted]

I was thinking of getting my sister wine for her Christmas gift.  It would be wine from the winery we toured together, and ones that she enjoyed a lot.  The problem is that my gift budget would only allow 2 bottles and that seems kind of cheap.  Is it a bad idea then, or should I do one bottle and something else?  She really enjoys wine if that makes a difference.

I think that sounds like a lovely gift. The memories make it even more special, and it would never occur to me to consider * only * two bottles as being cheap.

I enjoy wine and would love that as a gift.

Two bottles of wine isn't cheap. You're not talking about giving your sister two bottles of Boone's Farm. The gift and the thought behind it sounds lovely.

I think 2 bottles is a lovely gift. However, if you think she'd enjoy some nice or "fun" wine glasses (I'm a sucker for cool sparkling wine glasses, for example), maybe get her a pair of those plus a bottle of the wine.

Great gift!

I think that is a great gift. I have a 2 bottle wine carrier that I use a lot. If you could find an inexpensive one, you could make that part of the gift too.

I think 2 bottles sounds like the perfect gift. I would much rather have something I'm going to use and enjoy than something that will just sit around.

Does she have an electric wine opener? That could be something useful if she doesn't own one already.

Ha, DH got me two bottles of wine as an anniversary gift. Wine can be very expensive. I wouldn't feel bad at all!

Wine is always a great gift!

Perfect! Pricier wine is something I love to receive as it's not always something I'd buy for myself

This is a great gift and I love that it'd be from a place you two visited together

Do it!

If you want to make it feel more special (you don't need to but if you want to round it out), give a yummy snack. I like this to go with wine gifts --

Pairs nice with wine, and it lasts a few weeks, so there's no urgency in eating it all.

I think that sounds like a very thoughtful gift.

I'd rather have 1 or 2 bottles of good wine than a lot of bottles of not as good wine.
