Last year, for the holidays, I started the small but substantial category called The Gift of Food, focusing on food-based gifts for the holidays. This year I am adding to that category with some more holiday gift-giving ideas.

For starters, here is a link from MyRecipes.com with suggestions for Giving the Gift of Wine. Then check out these tips on Wine Giving Etiquette from the San Fransisco Chronicle, along with some unique ideas on Gifts for the Wine Lover from Riverfront Times, including reading materials and wine gadgets.

From Food & Wine magazine, here is a Holiday Wine Problem Solver with links for great wines for roasting, hosting, and other holiday fun. Do you know someone who isn’t a wine lover, but enjoys a quality liquor? This article from the Burlington Free Press on Liquors for Holiday Gifts will help.

Not interested in giving wine but want some fun cocktails for holiday parties? This slideshow from myrecipes.com highlights 20 Terrific Holiday Cocktails. Looking for some non-alcoholic beverages? Try this Warm Winter Ciders and Brews slide show.
