Generally wine baskets are delivered to the receiver at his/her home or work.

Wine has a deep history dating back hundreds of years. It is usually made from one or more varieties of the European species of grape, such as Merlot, Pinot Noir, Gamay, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon. When only one of those varieties of grape is utilized as the dominant grape, the result is a varietal wine. Blended wines are not necessarily considered inferior to varietal ones. Some of the world’s most luxury wines, from regions like Bordeaux and the Rhone Valley, are blended wines.

Common fruits in wine baskets include apples, artichokes, avocados, bananas, grapes, oranges, lychees, mangoes, papayas, lemons, pineapples, pomegranates, strawberries.

Dry and canned foods of a wine basket may contain coffee, cheese, chocolate, bread, marmalade, crackers, jam, honey, cookies, soft drinks, tea, nuts.

Nonfood items typically include cash, greeting cards, cut flowers, decorative plants, teddy bears.
