Wine Gifts

A vintage wine makes the perfect anniversary gift for decade birthdays, diamond weddings, long employment service or as a general wine gift. It is possible to find 40th, 50th, 60th or even older vintages on Wine-Searcher. All you need to do is enter the style of wine and year of birth/occasion in the vintage field of the Wine-Searcher search box then select your location and the currency. Please see the illustration below.

Some wine types, known for their ability to age well, are particularly well suited as anniversary wine gifts like Port, Madeira and dessert wines like Sauternes and Trockenbeerenauslese Rieslings. Grape spirits like Cognac and Armagnac along with old scotch whiskies and Prestige/Special Cuvée Champagnes also rank highly among wine gift specialties.

We have created a list of wines that are particularly well suited as wine gifts, based on their demand on Wine-Searcher and latest offerings from our listed merchants. The links below use Wine-Searcher's database to search for vintages and availability across 14,381 wine retailers. You can find vintages going as far back as the early 1800s. Please choose a wine of your liking or you can simply click on the style of wine for a general search result.

In addition to the above wines, there are also the famous red table wines specifically made to last for decades. Only the best, in the prime vintages, will happily improve past 20 years. There are also many single malt scotch whiskies that age particularly well.

Take expert advice when purchasing such wines or spirits - consult your local fine wine merchant. For suggestions, refer to our list of wine retailers in USA, UK, or World Wide.

As an alternative, there are a number of "celebrity" wines now in the market which may make the perfect gift.
