Red and white wine gift baskets

Give the Gift of Fine Wine
All through human history, wine has been a celebratory drink savored in both social and religious occasions and traditions. For thousands of years wine has been enjoyed for luxury, celebration, and religious functions. Wine was traditionally thought to have remedial attributes and red wine is proven to be beneficial for heart health. Though not all cultures consumed wine for recreation, almost every world culture has a wine history whether used as libation or medicine. In my life, wine is appropriate for celebration, fun, and at times, as medicine. This fact alone makes wine the right gift for any event. Each time I need a gift when visiting a friend’s home, as a housewarming present, or in order to say “thank you,” wine is my first choice. Wine is not only a fashionable gift, but it’s easy to pair with appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. Enjoyed in high class social groups, wine pairings and tastings are a great way to network and spend time with friends. What a great opportunity to socialize and learn a few things as well!

Recently, I found myself in charge of planning a relatively large social event. In all the chaos of planning and preparations, I forgot to inform one of the event sponsors of a change in date. The day before the event, we became aware of the mistake when I received a phone call from the sponsor. On account of the misunderstanding, they were unable to take part in the event and had blocked time out of their schedule for nothing. My immediate response in apology was to send the sponsor a wine and cheese basket from Baskets By Rita. For $150 I was able to send them a basket loaded with an assortment of red and white wines, cookies, an assortment of cheeses, smoked salmon, gourmet crackers, summer sausage, olives, dried fruits, caramel corn, candy, snack mix, fine chocolates, mixed nuts, and more. I decided that this would be a gift that could be shared among all of their employees and I hoped it would convey my apologies for the misunderstanding. I would suggest a Baskets By Rita wine basket for any occasion for which wine is appropriate. Whether you need to say thank you, send a housewarming gift, apologize, or present a gift when visiting a friend, Baskets By Rita has the ideal wine basket which include Vineyard Wine Gift Basket for the occasion.   For the wine connoisseur, our Vineyard wine gift basket offers the choice of BV or Rodney Strong  wines in an assortment of red and white wine along with   cookies, smoked Gouda cheese, smoked salmon,  wine cheese, gourmet crackers, beef summer sausage, olives, dried fruit, caramel corn, candy, cheese snack mix, fine chocolates,  gourmet mixed nuts,and more. The wine basket is a great gift for a group to share.
