Some Ideas for a Wine and Cheese Gift Basket

 

If you are considering getting a loved one or a friend something special for their birthday or some other celebration, a gift basket is a great way to show that you truly care. They are a personal present as you can choose exactly what you want to go into them, ensuring that the recipient will like it.

Wine and Cheese Gift Baskets

A popular option when choosing which gift basket to give is the wine and cheese basket. It is a gourmet basket and one which you can fill with the very best. You must however make sure that you choose according to the recipient’s tastes and preferences. There is no point in getting them a lovely basket of red wine and cheese if they prefer white wine. There are some online stores which specialize in these specific baskets and as such will be able to advise on which wine goes with which cheese.

Choices for You Basket

Wine and Cheese Gift Basket Some wines go better with cheeses than others so it makes sense to familiarize yourself with possible combinations before you purchase anything. The most popular cheeses to include are: Brie, Camembert, Cheddar, Edam, Feta and Gouda.

Brie is a soft cheese and is complemented by Champagne and Merlot while Camembert (which also happens to be a soft cheese) is much more suited to Cabernet and Chenin Blanc wines. Mild Cheddar Cheese goes very well with Champagne and Chardonnay while in contrast; more mature Cheddar is best matched with Cabernet, Rioja and Sauvignon Blanc. Finally, Edam cheese goes very well with Riesling, dry Champagne and Pinot Noir wines.

There are many other good cheese and wine combinations, which can be found out by undertaking a little bit of research on the internet. If however you find that you are having problems, visit an online store that can give advice and even make up a basket for you. This is an expensive option so if you have any friends who are in the know when it comes to wine and cheeses, consult them first. 

If you order online, your wine and cheese basket will be delivered to the recipient’s home. If however you make one yourself, it will have to be delivered and as you’ll want the cheese to be fresh, make this the last thing you purchase before handing the present over. Always put a short note in with the basket so that they know it is from you and know how much you care.
