Giving Wine Gifts for Winter Weddings: Something Special, Yet Personal
Winter weddings sound exciting and “cool” (pun intended). A modest gathering of family and friends is more than enough to create a memorable event full of warmth, since the season itself is already magical. If you were invited to such an occasion, what is the perfect gift to give the two lovebirds?
Joe Roberts’ article in Answers.com may be worth looking into:
For centuries wine has steadily become a staple in many cultures for various reasons. In its beginnings, wine was symbolic and was used in religious ceremonies. Today, wine is commonplace and is associated with fine dining and gift giving. It is said that when invited to someone's home, you should always bring a nice bottle of wine as a gift. There is another occasion when you may want to give wine, as well: as a wedding gift.
There is no specific type of wine meant to be given as a wedding gift. Wines are given to the bride and groom to celebrate on their honeymoon. In other cultures, wine has been used as a symbol in many traditions to bring about good fortune, the blessing of children, and ensure good health.
In the UK, wines are welcomed as neat gifts for birthdays and other occasions. In a winter wedding, a few glasses of wine can help bring up the temperature. If you’re a spot pressed for time in looking for an ideal present, trust a company like Paul Roberts Wines to give you some ideas on wonderful wine gifts.
Central to having wine as a present is to learn more about the couple. If they are not very choosy in their wine brand, it won’t be hard to find a gift for them—but it will be difficult to pin down the one variety that will make the present special. After all, this is a wedding present.
Roberts says in his article that studying the bride and groom’s preferences can help you identify specific grape varieties or harvests that would suit their taste. You may also choose based on a wine’s significance to the two newlyweds. Be discreet when you do your secret research, lest your questions make them anticipate your move—and ruin the surprise.
Once you have made your choice, you can opt to order wine by the case. Wine providers like Paul Roberts Wines sell a case of 12 bottles consisting of various grape varieties in different areas. If you prefer a personal wedding gift box, consult the wine company for the right selection.
Wine will always be a good wedding present. It symbolizes life, celebration, strength, and transformation—all the ingredients of marriage.
