7 bottles that make great Christmas gifts
Don’t have any Christmas gift ideas yet? No need to worry – we’re your one-stop shop for Christmas gifts and we’ve put together your no-stress, no-fuss list.
If you (like most of the population) baulk at the prospect of shopping for Christmas gifts, chances are your friends and family are almost definitely gift-less right now. But we have the solution to your lack of holiday gift suggestions. Seven liquid ones, in fact. These liquor gifts for Christmas are set to be sure-fire hits with your nearest and dearest, and the best part is you only need to brave one store to get them. (Or order online, we’re not your boss.)
For your dad: Fuji Single Grain Japanese Whiskey
Not sure what Christmas presents to get for Dad? Spirits from Japan have a certain refinement and style … just like your dad (…ahem). Elevate his palate with this whiskey. Fuji Single Grain Japanese Whiskey is made by blending three different types of grains: a light, a medium and an intense. The result is a smooth spirit with notes of pear, chestnuts and orange peel.
For your mum: Piper-Heidsieck Rosé Sauvage NV
Can you even go wrong with Champagne gifts for Mum at Christmas? We don’t think so. And you can be cockily confident giving Mum a bottle of fruity Rosé Sauvage NV from champers powerhouse Piper-Heidsieck. Bubbles-loving mums are guaranteed to be happy unwrapping this one.
For your cousin: Punters Corner Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon
Need wine gift ideas for cousins? Kind of like your oldest friend, Punters Corner Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon is a seriously good vintage. But probably unlike your oldest friend, it’s rich, smooth and elegant.
For your sister: Chandon Brut Vintage Sparkling
Sparkling wine for sister, check. Sparkling always takes centre stage at Christmas celebrations. And if this is also an accurate description of someone you know, why not give them a bottle of bubbles – like Chandon Brut Vintage Sparkling – to cement their rep as the ultimate party starter?
For your best friend: Glenfiddich 14YO Bourbon Barrel Single Malt Whisky
We think whisky gifts for best friends are the way to go. Sure, you’re not meant to be thinking of yourself when you give a present but we reckon whoever’s on the receiving end of this classic is obliged to share the bottle with you. Glenfiddich 14YO Bourbon Barrel Single Malt Whisky is beautifully rich with creamy toffee and candied orange peel flavours, and is just the thing to sip over long chats with your mate.
For your work bestie: Beyond the Wilderness Pinot Rosé
Let’s be honest, when you get down to the work friends or Secret Santa section of the gift list, price is of the utmost importance, so you’re after affordable wine gifts here. Luckily we’ve found a great-value wine for your work bestie and you won’t be ashamed to hand it over at work, either. Beyond the Wilderness Pinot Rosé is a Tassie pinot rose that’s lighter than pinot noir so it’s perfect for the hot summer months, and the aromas of freshly picked strawberries and rose petals don’t hurt either.
