There are many ways to watch your budget and also give nice and thoughtful gifts, one of the best is to make your own discount wine gift in the form of a gift basket, or just a box with some nice discount wines. The receiver will not know that you have used discount wines and other discount gourmet products from your local grocery store, but will see the time and effort you have put in when you make your own discount wine gift basket.

Be creative with the basket

Every discount wine gift starts with a basket. Here, it is perfectly acceptable to re-gift a basket that you received as part of a gourmet gift assortment, or to use some other container that you already have on hand.

It’s okay to get creative with your choice of basket. Use seasonal themes like red for the holiday season or Valentine’s day or pastels for spring; use a bushel basket if you want to include a lot of ingredients in your basket, or multiple bottles of wine. You can find empty baskets at virtually any craft store, and they are quite inexpensive.

Use discount wine

Most grocery stores that carry wine have an area where they keep discount wine. The close-out section is a great place to purchase discount wine for your gift basket. You can often find excellent discount wines at 25% to 50% off their retail price.

If you get to know the wine manager at your local specialty grocery store you might be able find out when the store moves its stock from full-price shelves to the discount wines. During the discount wine season, be sure to visit the store early on those days and get the very best selection of newly discount wines for your gift baskets.

Add some food

Adding food to your discount wine gift basket is fun, because your imagination and your budget are the only limit as you add items to the basket that focus on a theme. For a pasta dinner wine basket, include a package of dried pasta, jars or cans of dried tomatoes, stewed tomatoes and olives, and dried basil, along with a bottle of red wine.

You can also add some discount wine utensils

If you really want to (or need) to impress the receiver, you can add some discount wine utensils like a serving tray, spreading knives, cheese plates or wine glasses. When you add this to your carefully selected discount wines you will make a lasting impression.
