‘Tis the gift-giving season, and if you’re looking for a unique gift for that someone special then look no further! For all tastes and budgets, there’s surely something for you.

Why gift someone organic wines or drinks?

Organic wines are the way to go if you’re looking for an environmentally friendly yet high-quality and tasty gift choice. Organic wines are made from grapes that aren’t sprayed with synthetic pesticides, which means they’re a greener choice on so many levels. Likewise for organic spirits, liqueurs, ports, ciders, beers and more! It’s also a consumable product, which means you’d be gifting something that can be drunk and enjoyed versus something that may just end up gathering dust or being forgotten about.

Having your wine gift boxed and including a personal message

If you’d like us to send out your Christmas gift for you, we can do that and include a personal message on a handwritten card. Just select ‘yes’ for the gift order at checkout and include an optional message. Most of our wines can also be boxed as well, you can just add one of our wooden gift boxes at checkout – these are available for a single bottle of wine, a pair/two, three bottles or magnums.

Three quick tips for choosing your gift

  • First: set a budget. This will help you decide whether you’re on a hunt for that single special bottle, or more.
  • Second: try and think about the wines you’ve seen your special person enjoy in the past. Do they always stick to a Sauvignon Blanc or maybe French reds? The more you know, the easier it will be to find a wine or drink that they’ll just love.
  • Third: always remember that it’s the thought that counts. The giving should be at least as much – if not more – fun than the receiving!

Can’t decide?

We have vouchers/ egift cards available as well if you’d like to leave things open-ended. These vouchers can be used to order via our website, phone or email.

Champagne & Sparkling Wines

This organic Premier Cru Champagne from Michel de Belvas is new to us here at Vintage Roots. It’s made from 100% Chardonnay, and has a soft lively mousse with a delicious green apple and mirabelle palate.

Champagne Fleury’s Blanc de Noirs is always a popular Champagne choice. Full of exquisite plum and raspberry fruit, it is a 100% Pinot Noir Champagne that enchants the senses with its poise and finesse.

Cavas are also made using the traditional method (similar to Champagne). Having picked up Best in Class/Show at the 2024 Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championships, Albet i Noya Efecte Brut Reserva would make a great gift too.

For something a little different, consider this sparkling Grillo from Santa Tresa in Sicily. A great alternative to Prosecco, it looks and tastes the part, with lovely flavours of Sicilian lemon and toasted almonds.

Wintry Red & White Gift Ideas

Savvy wine drinkers have long been drinking Fleurie wines, where they can find the fragrant precision of other Burgundy reds but at a fraction of the cost. Red wine lovers won’t be disappointed with Chateau de la Chaize’s stunning AOP Fleurie Beaujolais.

Also part of our Festive Season Offers, don’t miss Santa Tresa’s DOCG Cerasuolo di Vittoria. Pairing Nero d’Avola and Frappato, this has enjoyable red cherry, plum, and wild Mediterranean herb flavours. 16.5/20, JancisRobinson.com

From an impressive vineyard at 960m above sea level, Dominio Basconcillos’ DO Ribera del Duero Roble is a heavenly cherry-laden red with silky smooth charm thanks to eight months of oak ageing.

Top wine critic James Suckling picked Emiliana’s Ge (which means ‘earth’ in Greek) as one of the world’s Top 100 wines (out of 39,000!) in both 2021 and 2023. This Chilean star won’t disappoint!

For a white, you really can’t go with Walnut Block’s Nutcracker Sauvignon Blanc, a richly textured Sauvignon has an impressive array of ripe citrus and fruit notes.

For another fantastic white, Domaine de la Verpaille’s Macon-Villages Vielles Vignes is a tremendous value white unoaked Burgundy from 100 year old Chardonnay vines.

The amount of organic spirits out there is truly impressive, from organic whiskies and scotch, to ever-so-popular organic gins and rums, there’s an organic spirit or liqueur out there for everyone. Here are some ideas for this year’s gift-giving.

This expressive and affordable organic V.S Cognac from the pioneering Pinard family, who were the first organic producers back in the region in 1969, is another great choice.

Amaretto is always a classic, and this raved-about organic Amaretto from Walcher is simply to die for.

Dessert Wines, Ports & more

Organic Ports, dessert wines and more … there’s plenty to pick from too! Here are some unique gift ideas, starting with this convenient half bottle Finest Reserve Port from Casal dos Jordoes.

This Amontillado style dry Sherry is perfect alongside nuts and savoury nibbles, and would make the perfect gift for pairing alongside salty snacks.
