Personalized wine is one of my favorite ways to add an intimate touch to an already exquisite gift. WineShop at Home offers an option to put any photo or logo on a bottle of their high-quality wine.
In fact, at the national conference in August, WineShop announced that our personalized wine labels are getting an upgrade. This is a great time to purchase personalized wine in preparation for the holidays, or just to have on hand. I know you’ve always wanted YOUR photo on a bottle of wine. Or, at least your company’s logo! 🙂
Top 5 Ways to Use Personalized Wine
There are lots of reasons someone might be interested in personalized wine, but here are some of my favorites…
“Just Because” Gifts
For years, when my husband and I were invited to someone’s house for dinner we would take over a bottle of our personalized family wine. It had a family photo on the label and it read simply, “Love, The Noziks.” In gold sharpie I would write a little note to the host or hostess, something like, “I appreciate you!” and they loved it (in fact, with these new upgraded labels I’m thinking I need to re-order some personalized wine…I better get a new family photo!)
Corporate Branding
Businesses love giving out bottles of wine with the company logo on them – it’s so much better than a general gift basket or a letter opener that no one will ever use! The truth is, everyone loves receiving a bottle of wine, and they especially love it if it’s good wine. I’ve had businesses order personalized wine for the holidays, for big corporate galas or openings, or even just to have on hand when they spontaneously need a gift for an investor or partner.
Weddings
If there’s anyone who loves our personalized wine, it’s brides. Imagine attending a destination wedding and being greeted by a bottle of wine with a photo of the engaged couple or their new monogram. Not only is this a gift that really expresses appreciation to the guests who traveled for the nuptials, but the newlyweds will have a stunning bottle to remind them of their special day for years to come.
Charity Galas & Auction Items
Everyone loves drinking wine for a good cause! A really great use of personalized wine is for charity silent auctions. When the charity puts their logo or image on a bottle of our delicious wine, it usually attracts the highest bidders (note: please check your state laws before auctioning off wine, as some places require special permits).
Special Occasion Gifts
Big anniversaries, births and milestone birthdays are all wonderful occasions to celebrate with personalized wine. Surprise your mother and father with a bottle of wine that has their wedding photo on it – it will bring a great smile to their faces when they first see the bottle and when they take the first sip. Is there a new baby in your life? Put that first photo on a bottle. 7 years ago I was given 2 bottles of our personalized wine with my son’s photo. Those bottles still sit right up front in my office. We’ve moved 5 times since he was born and still, I carefully pack the bottles and make sure they are tucked away for the move.
Exciting Changes for Personalized Wine
In August, WineShop at Home announced some exciting changes that will enhance the quality of the labels on our personalized wine. Now, there’s an option for full-bleed color (meaning the images will cover the entire label rather than have a white band around the outside) as well as crisper, cleaner images that really pop.
If you’ve never ordered a bottle of personalized wine, I highly suggest that you order some soon. You’ll be hooked!
