Often associated with luxury, Champagne is often less expensive than people imagine and, with the various deals available on-line, this most special of alcoholic drinks makes a wonderful gift idea. Whether it’s a loved one’s birthday, a friends wedding or just a special occasion, Champagne is one of the most versatile gifts you can give.
There are two basic kinds of Champagne, vintage and non-vintage. Vintage Champagne is produced from the grape harvest of a specific year which makes the choice more difficult as some years will obviously be better than others. Non-vintage Champagnes are a blend of two or more vintages which results in a more consistent and reliable quality.
Champagne Gifts
There are many ways to give Champagne as a gift including as part of a gift hamper, in a lined, wooden gift box, with a personalised label or as a miniature table favour in quarter bottle sizes.

Gift boxes are available in many guises and there are now specialist companies who will arrange delivery of your gift on a specific day, which is ideal for birthdays and anniversaries.
Miniature bottles of Champagne can be purchased from a number of party suppliers and gift retailers, either individually or in bulk, and are a very popular wedding favour idea. Some companies also offer personalised labels which make these an even more original gift.
So if you want to give a special gift and want to it to be original and luxurious, without costing the Earth, consider giving Champagne and put a smile on someone’s face.
About Champagne
A sparkling wine by nature, Champagne is produced in the Champagne region of Southern France and uses a technique of secondary fermentation within the bottle which creates its unique effervescent characteristic.
It’s said that an average bottle of Champagne can contain more than 7 million bubbles – although you could easily lose count after the first few hundred?
The pressure inside the bottle is equivalent to being over 130 feet beneath the sea;
Ideally, Champagne should be stored for at least 3 years in order to mature sufficiently;
Famous vintages are 1990; 1996 and 1999
