Description
Gift of English Red Wine and Cheeses from England. You don't see a lot of Red Wines produced in England, but this one is surprisingly good as it's made in Surrey and whilst it will never compete with volume wineries, we offer it as a gift idea to provide national variety to the familiar Cheese and Wine Gift genre.
With this in mind, we revisited our entire Wine and Cheese product offering this summer and are rolling out a variety of gift ideas from the summer of 2018 all the way through to next year. One of the early launches, which we are keen to asses is the English Wine and Cheese Gift. Is the novelty of English Red Wine a price worth paying for?
This particular gift contains a wonderful selection of English & Irish Waxed Cheeses, it includes especially imported French Pate and giant olives, which are perfectly served with the best oatmeal savoury biscuits in the world. We round the English Wine and Cheese Gift off with crispy things such as the apple crisps and nuts to produce a cheese and wine gift, which has a little more imagination than usual.
This wine exhibits nuances of strawberry and red berry fruits with hints of vanilla. The palate is smooth and rich with a velvety texture that is the hallmark of the Pinot Noir.
We've designated this item as a gift rather than hamper or gift basket because it is contained within a gift box. This allows us to keep the price lower than our standard premium range. It is worth nothing though that all the items within this gift are full sized and are of excellent quality,

The Story
We've been designing Gift Baskets and Hampers for almost fifteen years and in the early days the idea of putting products in a simple box was something, which just didn't seem right. The reason for this was that we were called Basketsgalore and our name originated from the idea of being different.
Consequently all our designs started off as baskets and that's why we're now one of the top ranked gift basket companies in the UK. We didn't want to confuse our customers into thinking that they would get a basket with their order, so we simply didn't offer gift boxes.
However now in 2018 with ever increasing competition, the market has come to expect that hampers at a certain price level will not contain the traditional wicker element. Some of our own customers are telling us that they have enough baskets in their homes, so this year we started to innovate with wicker basket alternatives. This English Cheese and Wine Gift is one of the first of a new type of gift we're offering which contains our customers favourite gourmet foods over the years except that now the contents alone are the gift.

Perfect for
The English Wine and Cheese Hamper is simply a great gift alternative to all those Cheese and WIne gifts, which compete on price and race to the bottom with ever shrinking bottle sizes and smaller packaging. This is an expensive wine with a specific product appeal and will be a great gift idea because the origin of the wine is a discussion point.
The overwhelming majority of Cheese and Wine Gifts are sent to men, but this gift could be suitable for women. This is quite a light red wine blend, which we find is popular with women who tend to favour slightly the lighter red grape varieties.
Ideal gift for a variety of different occasions when you want to send a societal token of appreciation or celebration.
