The Tishrei holidays are the time when we all want to make the people who matter to us happy with thoughtful, tasteful, and characterful gifts. In recent years, wine gift sets have become a leading choice—and not by chance.
First, wine is a symbol of joy, hospitality, and celebration. A quality bottle of wine opens the table, creates atmosphere, and gives a sense of luxury without being ostentatious. When the wine comes in a designed gift set, the experience becomes a complete gift: Not just a bottle, but a moment of taste and aesthetics.
Second, gift sets are flexible. They can be found across all price ranges, with a single bottle or a combination of several bottles, and sometimes with additional surprises like chocolates, cheeses, olive oil, wine glasses, or accessories. This allows the gift to be personally tailored to the person you want to delight.
Another advantage is the added personal value. Wine is a gift that combines thought about the recipient with the giver’s personal taste. A practical gift, not just another item collecting dust in a cupboard.
Gifts You’ll Want to Buy for Yourself
The wine gift sets from Recanati Winery combine Galilee terroir with design and personal thought, offering a wide variety of unique wines from the vineyards in the Golan and Galilee, such as the Cabernet Sauvignon Kerem Lebanon, made from single-vineyard grapes from Kibbutz Yiftach. A rich wine with a velvety sip full of black fruit flavors, a wine of thought and complexity, available in an elegant set with wine glasses (NIS 139).
The Trapeze set from Carmei Hagalil wines (NIS 129) will give you a fresh and rich sip of Chardonnay aged in French oak barrels with aromas and flavors of citrus and ripe peaches, and Cabernet Sauvignon combining Mediterranean herbaceous notes with dried plum, cassis, and a subtle oak texture. You’ll also find this wonderful wine in another set accompanied by a pesto spread.
Young and Refreshing
The holiday days are still summer days, and fresh, young wines are a wonderful gift. Wines that are not heavy or complex, but rather fresh and easy to drink, are a great combination for the start of the holiday meal or any day you feel like a glass of wine.
The Rosé from the YOUNG series, paired with a scented candle, is bursting with aromas of fresh red fruits, strawberries, plums, and cherries, with a playful acidity that makes it impossible to stop drinking (NIS 99).
The Sauvignon Blanc, available in a tote set, combines the elegance of a sip with refreshing lightness, wonderful aromas of grapefruit and flowers, and pleasant herbal notes on the palate. A great wine for a Shabbat picnic or a light dinner (NIS 69).
Although we like to think of gift sets as holiday presents, wine sets are a gift that brings joy to the heart and soul even without an occasion or holiday. Happy holiday!
