Hey all! Has anyone given or received a gift basket of wines for all their ‘firsts’, for example, drink this after your first fight, first snowfall, etc. If so, what ‘firsts’ were included in the gift?? I really love this idea.

I give them often,
I live out in Cali so there are tons of wineries. I usually get wines that are only available at the winery and then talk to the vintners about when they will best.
I usually do champagne for first month, a white for 1st year and then depending on the wines reds for either 2nd year and 3 year or 3 year and 5th year.

I put a few together at my old job at a wine shop. Our typical basket included bottles for the first month, 6 month, one year, five year, and ten year anniversaries. Customers liked this gift basket, but didn’t often know a lot about wine, so we’d pick bottles out for them, based on when the wine would mature. If you go with this option, it’s always nice to go into a wine shop and have someone knowledgeable suggest some wines or help you pick out some really special bottles.
I love the idea of doing a bottle for after their first married fight, though! 🙂
