Now- it’s Wine Watch Gift Box Time!
The gift of a Wine Watch gift box is truly a reflection of your sophistication. Every wine chosen for the gift box program is selected for its overall quality and value. I taste thousands of wines at my desk during the year and travel the world to discover new selections as well. Wine Watch is the most unique wine boutique anywhere and the same is true of our gift box presentation. Each wine in our gift box program is accompanied by a winery profile. The collection of winery profiles is bound into an album and included with your gift box along with a custom-made Wine Watch gift card.
We have a selection of 35 gift boxes here below and if you do not see something that you like we can make a custom box for you and remember we have single bottle boxes we can make any single bottle in the store look amazing in our branded wooden box with profile album and customized matching gift card.
Remember everything that we do is done by hand, so we may run a day or two behind processing orders this time of the year, so get yours to us as early as possible so we can get your gift delivered in time for the holidays.
We will be back to our normal schedule of drinking the world’s greatest wines after the holidays are over, for a complete list of what’s coming up next year check out our calendar of events on our web page we already have a few dozen events on the calendar for 2025!
