9 Wine Gifts Clients Remember After the Holidays

The client gifts people remember look chosen, arrive on time, and get opened. A bottle with a story clears all three bars for less than most branded gift boxes, and the nine below cover budgets from a thank-you note to a closed deal.

All prices are as listed in the Wine Express gifting section on October 10, 2026. Most were shown as sale prices, so confirm before you order.

The nine bottles

1. Mionetto Prosecco Brut, Treviso DOC: $15.75

The volume play. With 30 names on the list, a recognizable Prosecco with a handwritten note beats a forgettable fruit basket. Listed with a 94-point score.

2. Fabio Cordella 2020 Il Castellano Primitivo, Salento: $16.47

A rich southern Italian red at a price that lets you send two. Good for the client who cooks.

3. Fabio Cordella 2018 Ronaldinho R10 Primitivo, Salento: $24.95

A bottle named after the Brazilian football legend is a conversation starter before the cork comes out. For clients in sports, music, or entertainment, that is the point.

4. Chateau Ausone 2015 Le Petit Vauthier, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru: $37.95

Bordeaux with nearly a decade of age, tied to one of Saint-Emilion's most famous estates. It reads as far more expensive than it is.

5. Nickel & Nickel 2023 Chardonnay, Truchard Vineyard, Carneros: $49.95

A single-vineyard Napa-area white from a name wine drinkers know. Safe for a client whose taste you cannot guess.

6. Moët & Chandon Brut Imperial: $52.95

The universal signal for congratulations. Send it for a launch, a funding round, or a signed contract. Listed with a 94-point score.

7. Belle Glos 2022 Pinot Noir, Clark & Telephone Vineyard, Magnum: $85.95

A magnum is a double-size bottle, and its size is a statement. This is the gift for a team, an office, or a client who hosts.

8. Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut Champagne, Gift Box: $92.95

Rose Champagne that arrives already boxed. Rated 95 points, it suits anniversaries of a working relationship and your most loyal accounts.

9. Louis Latour 2023 Corton-Charlemagne: $294.95

Grand Cru white Burgundy, rated 98 points. Reserve it for the 

one relationship that carried your year.

How to pick by relationship

• New or small accounts: bottles 1 through 3. Keep it warm, not lavish.
• Steady clients and referral sources: bottles 4 through 6. Recognizable names do the work.
• Top accounts, partners, investors: bottles 7 through 9. Scale or rarity says what a card cannot.

If you want something between a bottle and a full case, the same section listed a WSET Level I in Wines Tasting Sampler at $149.99, a structured tasting set for the client who wants to learn.

The delivery rules that make or break a wine gift

Wine is not like sending a candle. Read these before you load a spreadsheet of addresses.

• An adult must sign. Every delivery requires a signature and ID from someone 21 or older. Wine Express recommends a work address for client gifts.
• Missed deliveries cost you. If the carrier cannot get a signature and the box is returned, the sender pays return shipping plus a 20% restocking fee.
• Some states are off the list. Wine Express does not ship to Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, or Puerto Rico.
• Champagne takes longer. Champagne orders need three to five days of processing and cannot be expedited.
• Order early. In-stock wines typically arrive 2 to 14 business days after ordering, depending on location, and shipments can be delayed in extreme weather.

For a mid-December arrival, order before Thanksgiving week.

What a recipient sees

Wine Express leaves pricing out of gift packages, so the client sees the bottle and not the receipt. The company doesn't sell gift certificates, so every gift ships physically.

How to make shipping free

Ground shipping is free on orders of $149 or more, or 12 or more bottles, going to the same address. That helps when you are sending a case to one office. Gifts going to many different addresses are charged per shipment, as shown at checkout, so add that to your per-client budget.

One workaround: ship a case to yourself for free, then hand-deliver to local clients. A bottle handed over in person is remembered longer anyway.

A note on etiquette

Check a client's gift policy before sending anything over a modest amount. Some companies and most public agencies cap or ban gifts. And if you do not know whether someone drinks, ask a colleague or choose a different gift.

FAQ

How much should I spend on a client wine gift?

Match the relationship. The bottles range from $15.75 to $294.95, and most client gifts fall in the $25 to $95 range.

Can I include a note?

Add your gift message at checkout and confirm the options there. For wine club gifts, Wine Express says a handwritten card can be added by calling customer care.

Can I send wine to a client's home?

Yes, if the state is served and an adult 21 or older can sign. A work address is usually the safer choice.

Will the price show on the package?

No. Wine Express says pricing is not included in gift orders.
