Why offer a wine Advent calendar?
Advent calendars, initially associated with chocolates and other sweets, have diversified over the years to adapt to new passions, including wine. Offering a wine advent calendar from Find A Bottle for Christmas allows you to create a daily experience where each day is marked by a new taste discovery. This not only allows you to indulge yourself, but also to broaden your oenological horizons by discovering wines from various wine regions.
1. A unique experience
The main attraction of the wine Advent calendar is that it allows for a progressive tasting of various wines. Each day brings a new surprise, whether it is a red, white, rosé or even sparkling wine. This type of calendar encourages the discovery of regional or international wines that one might not have chosen otherwise. For enlightened amateurs or novices, it is a journey through the terroirs of the world.
2. A gift suitable for everyone
Whether the person is a wine connoisseur or simply curious to discover new grape varieties, this calendar is an excellent gift idea. It allows everyone to engage in a fun and educational tasting, while enjoying festive and shared moments. Some calendars even come with tasting sheets for each wine, offering information on grape varieties, food and wine pairings and regions of origin.
3. A stylish alternative to classic gifts
In a world where gifts are often material, offering a wine Advent calendar is an elegant alternative that allows you to savor a moment each day, rather than a unique object. This gift stands out for its originality and allows you to create a real experience around wine, combining discovery and pleasure of the senses.
The Different Types of Wine Advent Calendars
There are a wide variety of wine advent calendars to suit all tastes and budgets.
1. Calendars with mini bottles
Calendars with mini bottles (18.7 cl or 20 cl) are perfect for individual tasting. These calendars allow you to discover a different wine every day, without waste. They are often assorted with wines from several regions of the world, thus offering a diversity of styles and grape varieties.
2. Calendars with half bottles
For those who wish to share the experience, there are calendars offering half-bottles (37.5 cl). This format is ideal for a tasting for two, allowing you to discover new vintages together throughout the month of December. This type of calendar is particularly suitable for convivial moments and family meals.
3. Wine and champagne calendars
For an even more festive touch, some calendars combine still wines with sparkling wines, such as champagne or crémant. These calendars are perfect for alternating between different wine categories and making the experience even more sparkling.
4. Personalized calendars
Finally, some wine advent calendars allow you to personalize the content according to the tastes of the person you want to offer it to. You can select wines that you know and appreciate or choose a specific theme (red wines only, organic wines, etc.).
How to choose the right wine advent calendar?
Choosing a wine Advent calendar depends on several criteria:
- Wine preferences : Make sure you know the person's tastes (red, white, or champagne) to choose a suitable calendar.
- Budget : Wine advent calendars vary depending on the wines selected and the size of the bottles. Determine your budget before making your choice.
- Wine quality : Find out about the origin of the wines and the quality of the bottles to ensure you are providing a quality tasting experience.
Conclusion
