Wood Presentation Wine Boxes - Elegant & Appealing!

Wooden boxes are an elegant and appealing way to present wine and make great gift ideas. On the more practical side, wine bottles in wood presentation boxes can be securely stored and easily accessed by means of hinged or sliding lids.

For most wine aficionados what counts of course is the finest vintage wine. However, I'm sure anyone who loves wine will enjoy any vintage even more when it comes in a finely crafted, wooden wine box.

Wood is an extremely versatile material so wine boxes come in all shapes, sizes and designs. They can contain a single wine bottle or multiple bottles of wine. These 'wine cases' typically hold up to 12 bottles of wine and have a carrying handle because of the excessive weight.

Wine gift boxes can also include wine accessories such as cork screws and glasses to provide a complete wine tasting package.

There are also many variations on the theme such as champagne boxes, port and stilton boxes, with personal touches added, such as engravings, scrolls and hand written, or printed personal messages.

Personal touches add value and an 'emotional charge' to the entire experience, so make the wine box, or wine gift set more memorable and therefore more marketable.

That is why many companies give gifts of wine in elegant wooden boxes to their customers particularly at Christmas time, as an expression of thanks for their continuing custom.

This custom is reminiscent of the time when wine was packed in rustic wooden cases to provide a perfect addition to anyone's wine collection.

Wine makes a wonderful gift for family, friends and business associates who take wine seriously. Nothing makes a more thoughtful statement than a fine bottle of wine in a beautifully crafted wooden gift box.

Port & Stilton - A Match Made In Heaven!

Many dessert wines, such as Sherry and Madeira combine extremely well with cheese, but Port and Stilton is the classic wine and cheese combination that many people find irresistible!

The Classic Port & Stilton Combination

Port is the red wine traditionally made in the Douro valley in Portugal. It's a fortified wine which means grape spirit is mixed in to halt the fermentation process, to make it sweeter and give it a slightly higher alcohol content This means it's usually served as a dessert or an after dinner drink.

There are many kinds of Port wine, including Ruby Port, Vintage Port and Tawny Port, known as 'Colheita', which has a wonderful, smooth, nutty taste. All these Ports go well with cheese and with Stilton cheese in particular!

Port and Stilton cheese go so well together because there is a nice balance between the sweetness of the wine and the pungent saltiness of the creamy blue cheese. The wonderful flavours mingle in the mouth and keep you coming back for more.

Port can be served on its own, or with other accompaniments, such as a dessert, or with some roasted salted nuts. Culinary heaven however, is a combination of a premium quality Port wine and a beautifully smooth creamy cheese, with just a hint of saltiness!
