The Art of Wine Presentation
Wrapping Up Your Wines
-What better way to celebrate than with a bottle of great wine. That sensational wine deserves an equally sensational presentation. Why carry wine to dinner parties and gatherings in a boring bag. Be original! And show how much you care with an upscale wine gift that will be remembered.
Art has never been an easy term to define…especially when a creation is intended for use as a wrapping rather than an actual gift. What’s nondebatable is that certain types of gift wraps function just as effectively as focal points as do the actual objects they are covering. I’m thinking specifically of unique and creative wine gifts and the art of presentation. Perfect for everyone on your list! Your friends, family hosts and hostesses will appreciate your good taste.
Giving a bottle of wine is such a joy in itself. Presenting it stylishly is an alluring attribute giving your gift a sense of distinction. It can be challenging to find just the right gift wrap to make that original statement. But your wine loving friends will appreciate your originality and thoughtfulness that went into it. A great place to find unusual and creative wine wrappings are at wine bars. Many have a fabulous selection offering anything from gifts to wine lovers home décor. You may opt to wrap simply in a classic and colorful drawstring wine bag. Or present a spectacular bottle of red in a chic café wine caddy. A wine case delivers a fine cuvee making an attractive decoration for any bar. An artful wine tube is also a handsome way to share a bottle of prized vintage. A beautiful addition to any table is a polished wine bucket. Fill it with ice water, place a bottle in it and you’re ready to dine in style. Love your wine? Show your metal! There is a variety of animated bottle holders made from recycled steel, copper and even wood. My favorite wine wrap is a clink proof wine tote. Consider one of these when you want to present both that fabulous bold red AND a crisp clean white. Its part wet suit, part wine bag, all functionally cool! These keep bottles safely separated so folks won’t hear your comings and goings…allowing you to party hop like a pro.
Bring a smile to the face of the most discriminating wine connoisseur and delight your family and friends at this years Holiday gatherings. Turn your gift of wine into an innovative wine presentation. Whether sophisticated, whimsical, elegant or contemporary, wine bags, boxes and purses are sure to impress. And be sure to pick one up for yourself too… you might not want to give them all away.
Cheers!
