Happy Tuesday’all! Kicking off today’s post by sharing a few of my favorite red wines for the holiday season now that it’s fully upon us. Whether you’re heading to Thanksgiving this week, or just gearing up for the Christmas/holiday season, it’s safe to say nowadays it’s just considered rude to show up empty handed. If you’re anything like some of my friends, you don’t like to break the bank but still want to contribute to the party. ALAS your Secret Santa is here in wine form, I’m rounding up my favorite red wines that are affordable for any and all holiday occasions.
PRO TIP: If you have a local Trader Joe’s with a wine store attached, this is usually the best place to find your affordable wines. Note: I’m the laziest human ever and typically just order wine from the liquor store literally around the corner from me for delivery. They’ve built a decent rewards system and I usually get at least $5 off. Definitely recommend seeing if your local liquor store has anything similar.
1. Underwood Pinot Noir. A great and easy Pinot Noir that typically retails for less than $16.
2. Dark Horse Cabernet. One of my favorites and at a great store can be as low as $9!
3. Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection. This is a nicer one for those that are looking to splurge a bit, still under $25.
4. Usual Wines (Case of 12 One-Glass Bottles). These are the cutest wines for the holidays because they’re packaged in small bottles that contain one large glass – perf for Friendsgiving or gift giving!
5. Decoy Cabernet. Another splurge for a nice gift, this one can do no wrong and can be found for under $30.
Now that we’re already on the topic of wines, I wanted to round up some fun items I found that would make great holiday gifts for that pal of yours that enjoys a glass of wine (or 12). You can shop items directly below! What do y’all think? Have a great day and thanks for reading!
