8 Trendy Alcohol Gifts To Shop These Holidays

It’s this time of the year again. Holidays equal presents and presents equal… headache and stress? While giving often becomes more rewarding than receiving, Christmas shopping can get particularly exhausting when you’re after gifts for people who you don’t know that well. Your boss, a cousin that you haven’t seen in years, or your friend’s partner. In this case, make sure to find out just one thing about them: whether they drink or not. If the answer is yes, we got you covered. Boozy gifts are safe, well-tried, enjoyable, and they don’t have to cost you a fortune. Oh, and the best part is that the giftee can immediately share their boozy gift with everyone gathered around the Christmas table. It’s literally a gift that keeps on giving.

1.       A set of nice glasses.

‘I have too many wine glasses,’ said nobody ever. They are always useful, and you can never get enough of them. Glasses for white, red and rosé are at the top of the list but you can go crazier than that, of course. Simply adjust your choice to the type of alcohol that your giftee likes the most. Delicate champagne flutes, heavy whiskey tumblers and funky beer mugs are waiting.

2.       Fancy ice cube molds and trays.

Who doesn’t like their drink on the rocks? Again, you can adapt these specifically to the kind of booze, whether you’re gifting a cocktail lover or a whiskey fan. Not only are they extremely handy but also, aesthetically pleasing. Different colors, shapes and materials available.

3.       The best Scotch whisky.

This is a gift idea for true connoisseurs. A special Distillers Edition 2021 of double-aged, malt Scotch whisky will satisfy more than just their taste buds. On the one hand, they will relish the greatest spirit of them all and its sublime, rich, complex, deep taste finesse. Yet, on the other, they will certainly appreciate a vintage bottling and the gift’s aesthetic uniqueness.

4.       Party essentials.

Choices are limitless. Small but handy gifts like metal straws, professional drink muddlers, coasters, shakers, corkscrews, or bottles openers, will make anyone happy. Thinking it’s not enough? Any aspiring mixologist should fall in love with classic cocktail mixing glass sets or spectacular bar carts. Other Christmas guests surely will be impressed as well.

5.       Alcohol subscriptions.

Wine subscriptions are the most popular and there are multiple brands which offer to send you bottles on a regular basis, based on your flavor preferences. You get wine delivered straight to your house but more importantly, you support local businesses. If your giftee is not a wine person, you don’t have to worry either. Dig deep and you’ll find subscriptions for craft beers or fancy spirits as well.

6.       Decanters and carafes.

Can a practical gift be simultaneously beautiful? A wide range decanters and carafes proves that it’s absolutely possible. The crazier its shape, the better. Some of them look like literal works of arts and they make alcohol taste so much better. A must-have at every dinner party.

7.       Portable booze refrigerators.

Not exactly a right gift for this season but think ahead. Remember these hot summer days when you and your friends have a barbecue in the park or a picnic by the lake? Everything is perfect until your alcohol gets warm, while the nearest store is 20 minutes away. Portable booze refrigerators recommended by Beer Snobs will solve this problem forever, keeping your beer or your prosecco cool for many hours.

8.       Alcohol-tasting.

Experience gifts can be the most memorable presents. A whiskey tour, a visit to a vineyard or craft beer-tasting will be an exciting mini-adventure that your giftee will look forward to. Cheers!
