Throughout human history, wine has been a celebratory drink enjoyed in both social and religious events and rituals. For centuries wine has been savored for luxury, celebration, and religious purposes. Wine was historically thought to have remedial benefits and red wine is proven to be good for heart health. Though not all societies drank wine for leisure, almost every world culture has a wine history whether used as drink or medicine. In my life, wine is appropriate for celebration, fun, and sometimes, as medicine. This fact alone makes wine the best gift for any gathering. When I need a gift when visiting a friend’s home, as a housewarming present, or in order to say “thank you,” wine is my first choice. Wine is not only a fashionable gift, but it’s easy to pair with appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. Enjoyed in high class society, wine pairings and tastings are a great way to network and socialize with friends. What a great opportunity to socialize and learn a thing or two as well!
Recently, I found myself in charge of planning a rather large social event. In all the disorder of making arrangements, I forgot to inform one of the event sponsors of a change in date. The day before the occasion, we became aware of the error when I got a phone call from the sponsor. On account of the misunderstanding, they were unable to play a part in the event and had blocked time out of their schedule in vain. My initial 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 packed with an assortment 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 believed 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 recommend a Baskets By Rita wine basket for any occasion for which wine is appropriate.
