Planning guide

Client wine gifts and customer thank-you gifts

Client wine gifts should feel considered without being awkward. The safest route is usually broad appeal, clear value, a short message and careful delivery planning.

Choosing gifts by client tier

Everyday clients: practical bottle, sparkling alternative or modest hamper.
Key accounts: stronger presentation, premium merchant or mixed case.
VIP relationships: check policy first, then consider fine wine or presentation-led hamper.

Avoiding awkward gift choices

Avoid highly unusual bottles unless you know the recipient well.
Offer alcohol-free or non-alcoholic alternatives.
Check anti-bribery, procurement and client gift policies.

Branding and packaging

Subtle gift notes often work better than heavy branding.
Ask suppliers about branded sleeves, cards, proofing time and minimum order quantity.

Delivery timing

Build in time for address collection, failed deliveries and substitutions.
Christmas and quarter-end periods need earlier supplier contact.
