Wedding gifts don't have to be boring: luxury wines and symbolic vintages
A wedding is a milestone event that brings a great deal of joy. Have you received an invitation from future newlyweds and you’re thinking about what to buy them for a wedding gift? Sometimes it’s a tough nut to crack. If you’ve run out of idea for wedding gifts, read on!
Something for the household, money, a romantic trip – these are the typical wedding gifts for newlyweds that you might choose without thinking about it much. However, if you want your gift to be more symbolic, personal, or imaginative try something different.
And we have good news for you right at the outset: wine is one of the best options for a creative wedding gift.
An original wedding gift grows in value over time
A gift for the newlyweds can bring pleasure to its recipients right away, or maybe they can wait for it a “while” and enjoy it even more. Therefore, our first tip leads to wines that are intended for archiving. These are luxurious wines that have the potential for maturation and are often produced specifically for this purpose.
However, beware: in the world of wines the opposite can also be true, and not every wine is suitable for archiving. Therefore, be careful when making your wine selection so that no one’s disappointed when the bottle is opened in a few years.
In order to make things easier for you, we’ve prepared a list of French and Italian wines that only get better with age.
However, if you are already sufficiently knowledgeable about archiving wine and understand its principles, you can go ahead and choose a gift for the newlyweds entirely on your own. Perhaps one of the red wines, which are generally more suitable for archiving.
What might a symbolic gift for newlyweds look like?
We usually wish newlyweds many happy years and round anniversaries together. However, you don’t have to wait until these years have passed, and you can give the happy couple a wedding gift with symbolic numbers right away. How do you do it?
If you don’t know already, you can find out when the bride and groom were born and give each of them a wine from this particular vintage. You can then wrap this wedding gift into a gift box for two bottles, so they can enjoy their gift together.
For example, this is what wines “born” in 1990 look like:
What if you don’t know when the bride and groom were born? It doesn’t matter. You can give them a wine from the year when they met or when they went on their first holiday together. Did they first set out to explore France, Italy, or perhaps Hungary? Get a wine made in the same year in the country they were visiting.
Did the newlyweds have a baby before their wedding? What about giving them a wine that was produced in the same year when the child was born? Certainly, this gift will warm their hearts.
Plus, you don’t have to buy just one wine. You can purchase a discounted package of six wines that the newlyweds can open each year. And just like their marriage develops as each year goes by, the taste and aroma of the wine also change with each passing year.

A final wedding gift tip: luxurious champagnes never let you down!
Wedding gifts for newlyweds should have a touch of luxury and uniqueness. And this is exactly what you’ll get with the champagne wines from the house of Champagne Bouché located in Pierry – the heart of the French Champagne wine region.
