GIVE
WINE
this Christmas
Wine makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, offering both warmth and a touch of celebration. Here’s a quick guide from local, Thrapston based wine merchant Handpicked Wine Box to help you select the perfect wine gift for everyone on your list.
Match Their Tastes
Think about your recipient’s usual preferences. For fans of crisp, refreshing flavours, a Sauvignon Blanc or dry sparkling wine is ideal. Those who enjoy bold, rich notes might appreciate a Malbec or Shiraz.
Shop our range of themed wine cases and gift sets. Such as the Discovery Sauvignon Blanc Wine Case or the ever-popular original Malbec Wine Case.
Celebrate the Occasion
Consider the occasion they’ll enjoy the wine for. A bottle of Champagne or sparkling wine is ideal for New Year’s celebrations, while a cosy red like Merlot or Malbec is perfect for winter evenings by the fire. A light, easy-drinking white could be just the thing for Christmas gatherings. Matching the wine to a festive moment makes the gift feel more thoughtful and relevant to the season.
Starting from just £9.99 we have a range
of sparkling wines to suit every budget and occasion. From crowd pleasing Prosecco and refined Cava to premium cuvee Champagne and trend setting Crémant.
Choose Something Unique
Independent wine merchants often stock distinctive wines from small vineyards, adding an extra story to your gift. A bottle they’re unlikely to find in supermarkets feels that much more special. We seek out the top artisanal, family producers from across the world. We love sharing the romantic stories of their vineyards and their characterful wines with you.
Add a Personal Touch
Presentation matters. Choose a gift box
or include a handwritten note to show thoughtfulness. At Handpicked Wine Box, we offer gift wrapping and personal messages on handwritten cards to make each gift feel unique.
