Stemming from the old standard fruit of the month clubs, the newest trend is the gift of giving wine of the month. Like any gift of wine, this wine club is a more than welcome gift that says something a little different than a fruit basket. Perhaps you’re looking for a gift that has a slightly different message from that implied by fruit; when you’re looking for elegant and understated, wine is always a solid choice.

A wine of the month gift club enhances a gift of wine by making it year-round. It is infinitely more exciting than a case of 12 of the same vintage, the wine of the month gift club features 12 unique vintages, each one carefully selected for the season in which it is sent.

Easy and Elegant

Perhaps the best thing about choosing this type of gift is that you don’t have to worry about buying the bottle yourself, wrapping it and presenting it to the recipient. Sending someone a subscription to a wine of the month club means that that person’s day will be made, not once, but twelve times during the next year when an unsuspected bottle of wine shows up on their doorstep.

All you have to do is make the initial choice of cost and delivery and leave the difficult task of choosing the actual bottles up to the specialists employed by the wine of the month gift club. You can rest assured that these specialists will choose appropriate bottles for the price range you’ve chosen as well as the season in which the bottle is being sent.

For example, in the heart of winter, a robust red wine might be sent in anticipation of it being paired with a rich, heavy meal. In contrast, July’s wine will probably be a light white bottle to match grilled seafood or summer vegetarian dishes. The experts’ choices will be good ones, not necessarily the choices that you yourself would make, but always good ones, and the best part is that you will not have to go through the process of making the choices yourself.

Wine of the month gifts are selected and paid for once in the year, but keep on giving all year long. Many people appreciate this kind of gift because it keeps arriving all year long. A gift like wine of the month or a magazine subscription or theater subscription can be enjoyed all year long and is an especially good choice to ensure that people who are far away from you keep thinking about you throughout the year.
