Best Wine Gift Baskets & Holiday Catering in 2024 - Martin's Mon, Oct 24, 22 Looking for the perfect holiday gift or event solution? Martin’s specializes in wine gift baskets, curated wine selections, and holiday catering services to make your celebrations seamless and memorable. Whether you need the best wine to give as a gift, a custom wine basket, or full-service catering, we have you covered. Read on to discover how we can help you this holiday season. How to Choose the Best Wine to Give as a Gift Selecting the best wine to give as a gift can be a thoughtful and personal gesture. Whether you’re giving to a wine connoisseur or a casual sipper, choosing the right bottle makes all the difference. Here are a few factors to consider when picking out a gift-worthy bottle: Know their preferences: Does the recipient prefer reds, whites, or sparkling wines? If you know their tastes, you’re already on the right track. If not, a member of our team would be more than happy to help you find a perfect match. Alternatively, you could browse the best sellers and select the bottle that catches your attention. Explore classic favorites: Wines like cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir, and chardonnay are universally appreciated and safe bets for most wine drinkers. Try something unique: If you want to surprise someone, opt for lesser-known varieties like a Malbec or a rosé, which can offer an exciting alternative. If you’re unsure where to start, Martin’s offers a range of curated options, and our staff can recommend the best wine for gifting based on your needs and budget. Wine Basket Ideas for Every Occasion A wine gift basket is more than just a bottle of wine — it’s an experience. At Martin’s, we create personalized wine basket ideas that are perfect for any recipient or occasion. Our wine baskets can include: Fine wines: Choose from a variety of reds, whites, or sparkling wines. Gourmet snacks: Pair your wine with cheeses, charcuterie, chocolates, or crackers. Custom add-ons: Personalize your basket with candles, wine glasses, or branded items. We specialize in custom baskets, and no request is too specific.

For Those Who Prefer Spirits Over Wine: Embrace Local Traditions Not everyone loves wine, and that’s perfectly fine! If you’re looking for a holiday beverage, consider embracing local holiday cocktail traditions, such as hot buttered rum in New England. For example, Martin’s New Orleans delights in milk punch during the holiday season. This classic cocktail blends milk or cream with spirits like rum, brandy, or bourbon, along with a touch of sweetness and a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon. It’s a smoother, less sweet alternative to eggnog and is a holiday staple for many. Alternatively, find inspiration worldwide with countless cultures celebrating the holidays with unique cocktails. England’s favorite holiday cocktail, a wassail, even has a Christmas carol! Consider bringing a touch of Mexico to Christmas with a Ponche Navideño or sip on a German fire punch called Feuerzangenbowle.
