You can do a lot of creative things with the wine in the gift basket. The same wine produced in different areas of the world will have different aromas and flavors and you can create a basket of different merlots, pinot noirs and more.

You could also chose a specific wine region and fill the basket with wine from that area. Food items that tend to be included in a wine gift basket are cheese, dried fruits, spreads, crackers and chocolates. You can match the food to go with the wine.
