All through human history, wine has been a celebratory libation savored in both social and religious events and rituals. For centuries wine has been savored for pleasure, celebration, and religious functions. Wine was traditionally thought to have medicinal properties and red wine is confirmed to be good for heart health. Although not all cultures consumed wine for recreation, almost every world culture has a wine history whether used as drink or medicine. In my life, wine is appropriate for festivity, leisure, and every now and then, as medicine. This fact alone makes wine the right gift for any situation. Anytime I need a gift when visiting a friend’s home, as a housewarming gift, or in order to say “thank you,” wine is my first choice. Wine is not only a stylish gift, but it’s easy to pair with appetizers, meals, and desserts. Enjoyed in high class social groups, wine pairings and tastings are a great way to network and spend time with friends. What a great occasion to socialize and learn a thing or two as well! Recently, I found myself in charge of planning a fairly large social event. In all the pandemonium of planning and preparations, I forgot to inform one of the event sponsors of a change in date. The day before the show, we realized the mistake when I got a phone call from the sponsor. On account of the miscommunication, they were unable to engage in in the event and had blocked time out of their schedule in vain. My first response in apology was to send the sponsor a wine and cheese basket from Baskets By Rita. For $150 I was able to send them a basket loaded with a variety of red and white wines, cookies, an assortment of cheeses, smoked salmon, gourmet crackers, summer sausage, olives, dried fruits, caramel corn, candy, snack mix, fine chocolates, mixed nuts, and more. I thought that this would be a gift that could be shared among all of their employees and I hoped it would convey my apologies for the misunderstanding. I would endorse a Baskets By Rita wine basket for any occasion for which wine is suitable. Whether you need to say thank you, send a housewarming gift, apologize, or present a gift when visiting a friend, Baskets By Rita has the perfect wine basket like Vineyard Wine gift basket for the occasion. Our BV (Beaulieu Vineyard) wine basket as a red and a white wine. This wine theme basket has a Pinot Noir and a Pinot Grigio wine, Pinot Grigio wine cheese, vineyard shortbread cookies, box of assorted chocolates, Alaska smoked salmon, a large box of assorted crackers and more. Visit their wine basket page to see their many varieties and options. http://www.basketsbyrita.com http://www.basketsbyrita.com/assets/images/bv wine duo basket.jpg
