6 Clever and creative ways to wrap a bottle of wine
A bottle of favourite wine is always a much-loved gift, but forget those ho-hum gift bags.
Wine makes a perfect gift, whatever the holiday or occasion. When it comes to wrapping, channel your inner creative and add a touch of whimsy. Personalize your wine-bottle gift wrapping to suit the spirit of the season: Think wine-mulling spices, festive baubles or a handknit sleeve.

A carefully chosen bottle wrapped in a tea towel of vintage-look toile, boldly coloured linen (to suit their wow kitchen) or fun print is a perfect match for interior design-savvy wine fans.
Give Them Sugar and Spice
