The holiday season is wonderful — but let’s be honest, gift ideas tend to run out much faster than we’d like.
And then you remember: a good bottle of wine almost always saves the day. The trick is simply choosing the right one.
A great wine doesn’t have to be expensive. What matters most is that it fits the person and the moment. If your recipient appreciates classics, go for something elegant from Burgundy or Bordeaux. If they’re a free spirit, surprise them with a pét-nat or a natural wine — it will bring a smile and a spark of curiosity.
Sparkling wine is always a safe choice. Champagne, Crémant or pét-nat — it’s like a small firework in a bottle. Pop it open, and the celebration starts on its own. It works for everyone — a colleague, a friend, or that neighbour who always returns your glasses a few days late. Wines from small Champagne growers have less polish but a lot more soul.
Add a bit of story to your gift. For example: “This is the same wine we opened at Time To Wine last autumn — remember how we laughed and promised to start a new life on Monday?” A gift with a story turns into a memory.
And don’t underestimate presentation. A simple box, a ribbon, and a few words written by hand can turn any bottle into a thoughtful gift. Though honestly, you can just stop by Time To Wine Rotermanni, tell us who it’s for — and we’ll take care of the rest 🙂 !
The most important thing is to choose with your heart. Sometimes the perfect gift isn’t the one on the list — it’s the one you’d love to open right now.
