The most common wine gift baskets contain at least one thing, a bottle of wine, and can contain almost anything else. and that is also the great advantage of wine gift baskets, that you can buy them ready made with a great variety of other selected products. Most of the gift baskets contain one or two bottles of wine and a selection of food products like chocolate, crackers, cheese, spreads, meat. The more luxurious baskets may also include food products like smoked salmon, roasted nuts, bonbons and more. Some wine gift baskets also contain nonfood products like corkscrew's, knifes, glazes and other related items.

Home made wine baskets?

Anyone who wants to do something special for a friend or family member and have some love for wine, can put their own gift basket together. You just need some creativity, a good basket and a little bit of money. The basket can be bought at your local garden centre, home brew shop or arts and crafts store. The wines and other ingredients can be bought at your local grocery store. Place the wine bottle in the middle of your basket and arrange the other products around it. You can choose a Chardonnay or Chablis for a white wine basket and you can select a Cabernet's sauvignon, a Merlot or a pinot noir for the red wine.

If you know the gift receiver and know what kind of food products he or she likes, it is easy and you can put some of these items in the basket, if you don't know the person you can still choose from a wide variety of crackers, cheeses and other products.
