Best Wine (and Spirit) Gifts Under $25, $50 or $125

 

Birthday?  Anniversary?  Christmas?  House-warming?  Gifting, no matter the occasion, is one part art, one part science, and one part love.  And for us, one part wine!

We love giving wine (sake and cocktails) as a gift because it’s practical, tastes great, and there are so many different choices. 

Of course, there is red, white, rosé, and sparkling wine, but there is so much more out there.
