Corporate Gifting Imported Wines

By Nelson Abreu

Holiday gifting and milestone celebrations are the times that companies show their appreciation to clients and employees with personalized wine gifts. Year after year wine gift boxes and baskets are the most popular corporate gift option. A well chosen, and elegantly presented, bottle of wine is upscale, thoughtful and consumable!

Wine represents the ideal that companies strive to emulate: the embracing of family. It is meant to be enjoyed with family meals and friends. Thoughtful gifts get recognized, appreciated and gifting wine from a favourite region, or a favourite producer ,demonstrates a personal appreciation. Gifted wines that display a winery seal as a symbol of quality reflects a company’s integrity.

Which Wine to Gift?

After years of assisting companies select wines for gifting, we understand that decisions are often best decided through group consensus. We suggest a small team of wine tasters, including a senior member of the company, work together to make a selection. Budget and preferred region determine which wines will be included in the tasting. The wine influencer(s) in the company will often break-the-ice with initial comments which allows the other participants to chime in. The packaging, bottle label and overall presentation is influential and often determines the final choice when the opinions about the wines are balanced. Team tastings are fun, interactive and create excitement about the gift initiative.

Best Wine to Gift?

Companies look for unique, wines that are not easily available in liquor stores. Privately imported wines can be sourced directly from Wine Importers (wine agents) in Ontario. The advantage of purchasing wine from importers is to enjoy both exclusivity and value. Gifting an exclusive bottle of wine brings excitement that is similar to when you introduce a great value wine to friends. Wine agents sell wine by the case; buying wine directly from a Wine Importer is comparable to buying from a wholesaler.

Remember that unique and interesting wines are available at all prices points and from all regions of the world. Speak to a wine agent that imports from the regions of the world your team is most excited about.

After you've made your selections choose suitable packaging and personalize with branded ribbon, tissue and a hand written card.

Organic Wines Make Great Gifts!

Gifting sustainably made, or organic artisanal, wine is a great way to reinforce corporate values that champion sustainable practices. Pairing sustainable wines with local artisanal gourmet items emphasizes the thought behind the offering. When planning a corporate gift initiative for everyone if it includes food items consider allergen free options.

Private wine importers often have a better selection of organic and sustainable wines than you will find in the liquor stores because wine agents specialize in supplying restaurants and organic wines are a very, popular choice for Sommeliers.
