What kind of wine basket will you make?
The type of wine gift basket you decide to make is entirely up to you.
If you are sticking to a budget keep that in mind when you start purchasing the items that will fill your wine gift basket.
Some wines can be expensive and could take up the bulk of your gift basket budget.
You may decide to make a wine and cheese gift basket as I have.
Think about the items you would enjoy yourself if you were sipping on a glass of wine and eating cheese.
A few items you might fill your gift basket with is a bottle of wine, shelf stable cheese, crackers, a couple of wine glasses and if you like some cheese knives or small condiment knives.

What to put in a wine gift basket?
The first obvious gift item to put in a Wine Gift Basket is some wine, of course. I chose to include 3 mini bottles of Gallo wines in my wine gift basket.
I happen to love Gallo Moscato wine so I put a mini bottle of Gallo White Moscato wine and a mini bottle of Gallo Red Moscato wine along with a mini bottle of Gallo Pinot Grigio wine.
I found these mini bottles of Gallo Wine at the Family Dollar Store in a special display but they carry the regular size and mini bottles of Gallo Wine all year long.
