Wine Gift Baskets

Wine Basket Delivery Restrictions

Provincial laws determine wine delivery availability. Ontario and BC generally allow it, while other provinces have restrictions. Recipient must be 19+ (18+ in Alberta) and present ID. Office buildings often prohibit alcohol deliveries - verify before ordering.

Wine baskets can't deliver to hospitals, schools, or government buildings. For restricted locations, consider chocolate gift baskets or gourmet gift baskets without alcohol.

Red Wine vs White Wine Selections

Red wine baskets ($65-$125) pair with cheese and dark chocolates. These work for winter occasions, romantic dinners, or meat-lovers. White wine baskets suit summer celebrations, seafood enthusiasts, or lighter preferences.

Mixed selections at $89+ avoid the guessing game. Champagne options start around $95 for celebrations. Non-alcoholic sparkling juice baskets accommodate non-drinkers at similar price points.

Corporate Wine Gifting Guidelines

Business wine gifts require careful consideration. Never assume recipients drink alcohol. Wine baskets work for closing deals, holiday gifts to clients, or retirement celebrations - but always confirm appropriateness first.

The $75-$150 range appears substantial without being excessive. Include cheese gift baskets elements for complete presentations. For international clients or unknown preferences, coffee gift baskets offer safer alternatives.

Occasions for Wine Gift Baskets

Housewarmings traditionally receive wine, especially with cheese pairings. Wedding gifts, anniversary celebrations, and promotions suit wine baskets. Holiday wine baskets (with festive packaging) work from November through January.

Avoid wine for baby showers, get-well wishes, or sympathy unless you know the recipient's preferences. Fruit baskets or sympathy gift baskets work better for sensitive occasions.
