When one of your friends or family members is getting ready to tie the knot, you will have to think about the perfect wedding gift. And wine tops the list of most classy wedding gifts one can give. As weddings are almost synonymous with both romance and elegance, it is appropriate that a bottle of wine can bring the allure and charm of both elements into the gift table of a wedding reception in one fell swoop. However, it does not always have to be a bottle of wine or an elegant wine collection; anything from a wine club membership to a small wine-related accessory would be among the most memorable wedding gifts for any couple.

When giving wine as a wedding gift, it is better to go for vintage champagne as vintage champagnes are considered more exclusive than the non-vintage ones. Although vintage champagnes are usually more expensive than the non-vintage champagnes, when it comes to a wedding, it is more suitable to spend a little bit more money and present a special bottle to the couple. Some of the best quality vintage champagnes that you can easily find in most of the wine shops are Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame, Perrier-Jouet Fleur, Louis Roederer Cristal, Moet & Chandon Dom Perignon, and Krug. However, you will have to be prepared to spend more than 100 pounds as these vintage champagnes are quite pricey. In case you are planning to gift a non-vintage champagne, consider adding toasting flutes.

You can also choose a non-sparkling wine as a wedding gift. In that case, there are endless possibilities as the list of extraordinary wines from different areas of the world is very long. The red wines that are produced in the Bordeaux region of France are among the world’s best known. As the prices of Bordeaux wines usually range from very expensive to fairly inexpensive, you can choose one depending on your budget. And again, as you are planning to give it as a wedding gift, it is better to go for a good quality bottle, which might cost a little more. Two other regions in France that make prestigious red wines are Rhone and Burgundy. French wines are not the only choice; you can also go for an Italian red wine from the Tuscany or Piedmont regions of Italy. And if you prefer American wines, red wines Sonoma or Napa will make a lovely gift.

If you are particularly concerned on buying an excellent quality wine, the best thing to do is asking the wine shop and getting their recommendations on the best vintages. If you are interested in buying a wine from a particular region, you can ask them about that also. As almost all of the wine shop owners are experts in wine, they will be able to get you the recommendations for the best wines in your price range. If you think that the couple might keep your wine gift for a later occasion, such as an anniversary, do not forget to ask the wine shop about the aging quality of the wines. A wine bottle with good aging quality will ensure that the couple will get to enjoy your gift even after 10 years from their marriage.
