I've reached the age where most of the weddings I am being invited to are now second or third marriages or couples marrying years after establishing homes. Often they are combining two households and have more toasters, towels, and wine glasses than they know what to do with. Finding the perfect wedding gift can be tricky, but it is easy if you know that the bride and groom drink wine.
Brides and Grooms Can Use Wine
Even if the happy couple doesn't vacation in Napa or have an underground wine cellar, it doesn't mean that they do not appreciate wine enough to enjoy a wine club. If you see them drinking wine at all or pulling it out when they have guests, a wine club would be the perfect gift for them. Almost any household will be able to use a few nice bottles of wine for special occasions, holidays, and entertaining. Furthermore, wine clubs are great to send whether you know the couple well personally or they are business associates.
Choosing the Wine Club
Deciding to send a wine club as a wedding gift is the easy choice; the hard part is deciding which club to buy. I do not take gift buying lightly. I'm the girl with the spreadsheet comparing prices and options and reading every review I can get my hands on. I've done the work for you (including the difficult task of taste testing some of them myself). Here are my top choices based on what you might be looking for.
