Wine is one of the easiest Christmas gifts to get right. It suits almost everyone, feels generous, and gets opened and shared during the holidays rather than tucked away in a closet. A wine gift basket goes one step further by pairing a great bottle with chocolates and snacks, so your recipient can pour a glass and set out a spread right away.
Below are our favorite holiday wine gifts, organized by who you're buying for, from the host of a Christmas dinner to the wine lover who already has everything. Every basket is Kosher-certified, arrives on the date you choose, and can be ordered for Christmas delivery right up until December 23 at 2:00 p.m. EST.

How to Choose a Good Wine for a Christmas Gift
The best wine to give for Christmas is one that fits how the recipient will enjoy it. You don't need to be a sommelier, asking yourself a few simple questions will point you in the right direction:
Think about their preferences: If you know they love red, a Cabernet Sauvignon or Chianti is a safe, high-end choice. If you're unsure of their specific taste, a smooth red blend or something sparkling pleases almost everyone.
Think about the occasion: Full-bodied reds are made for winter dinners, holiday roasts, and cheese boards. Prosecco and sparkling rosé are better suited for toasts, holiday brunches, and parties.
Think about who will be sharing: If the gift is heading to a family or an office, choose a basket loaded with extra snacks so everyone gets something to enjoy, even those who don't drink alcohol.
A curated wine gift basket takes away all the guesswork. Each set is designed so the wine and pairings complement each other perfectly, giving your recipient a complete tasting experience. Still unsure? Our Christmas gift buying guide has ideas for everyone on your list.
Make It Personal
A personal touch can turn a great wine gift into a lasting keepsake. Our Personalized Love Birds Wine Glasses are custom-engraved for couples to use long after the bottle is empty, while a Personalized Name Slate Coaster Set adds a practical, stylish touch to any bottle.
Shipping & Delivering Wine for Christmas
Most wine gifts are delivered directly to people you won't see in person on Christmas Day, so reliable shipping matters just as much as the gift itself. Here is what to keep in mind before ordering:
