Very nice of course, a book voucher, a scarf or warm socks. But if you really want to be original during Sinterklaas or Christmas, you simply give a wine calendar as a gift.

Excuse me? Yes, you read that right, a calendar in which wine is hidden. The 12 Nights of Wine calendar features twelve delicious wines from all over the world – from France and Spain to Australia and Chile. The wines are in special tubes of 100 milliliters and therefore fit exactly in one glass.

Did you know that you can use the wine calendar in different ways? We are happy to tell you how below:

1. Advent Calendar

It is the most obvious way to use this calendar, but also the most surprising. Open a door every day and taste the wine behind it. How nice is it to discover a new taste every day?

2. Wine Tasting

Don’t have the energy to go out on the hort during these dark days? Then you simply organize a wine tasting yourself. Invite your friends, family or neighbours, divide the wine tubes over all glasses and just taste. Of course, as a true connoisseur, you can comment on each wine – the calendar includes a wine menu with an explanation of all flavors and what they go well with. Light the candles, add a serving board and you’re done.

3. Blind tasting

This is a next level wine tasting, and you can do it together or alone. Fill all the glasses and try to figure out which wine belongs to which tube. You will notice that you really start to focus on the taste: do you taste fruit tones, is the wine more woody, which country would it come from? Of course, don’t forget to subtly note down which tube you have poured into which glass, otherwise you won’t know what you’re drinking yet. Ha, although it won’t make the tasting any less fun.
