When shopping for the perfect gift, no matter the occasion, you must have noticed how many alcohol hampers you have to choose from. The question you may ask yourself is which bottle you should choose. Not all alcoholic gifts are suitable for all recipients. Here are some guidelines on how to gift alcohol:

 

For your host

If you attend a dinner party at someone’s house, you can’t go empty handed! A good bottle of wine is usually fine. Now this is not necessarily a bottle that the host will open that night. Chances are they’ve already planned and prepared the drinks, so don’t be offended when they set your bottle aside. Your bottle will be enjoyed at a later stage or served at another dinner party. The main purpose of this gift is to prevent the guest from showing up with nothing after all the work to prepare for tonight. When in doubt about the type of wine your host will like, choose a sparkling wine or champagne alcohol hampers.

For friends

When presenting alcohol hampers to a friend, you’ll want to put some extra thought into whatever you choose. Think about your friend’s preferences and try to find something of that variety that they have not had a chance to try yet. Look for a bottle that looks classy and falls into your category of preference. So if your friend likes red wine, find a wine basket with a bottle or two of red wine in it. Do some research on the wine or wines included and determine if they will be right for your friend.

 

Impress your boss

When shopping for your boss, you’ll want to avoid anything that might seem cheap. You want to impress your boss by sending something they will love, so pay attention to their personality and preferences. By now you should have noticed what your boss likes to drink at a company function or New Year’s Eve party. If you’re new to the company, ask your personal assistant and go from there.

 

For your father or father-in-law

There’s nothing too good for your dad or your father-in-law, so get ready to pamper him! A bottle of quality whiskey often looks great as a fine gift. Alternatively, if he’s more of a wine drinker, you could go for a higher-end bottle. These alcohol hampers should look as elegant as they taste!

Some of the most popular alcohol hampers are those that include wine, beer, champagne or even whisky or gin. These gift baskets may include one or more bottles. They may also include delicious sweet and/or savoury treats to pair with the luxurious beverage.
