40th Anniversary Traditional Gift
Vintage Wine Gift Ideas
A great 40th anniversary traditional gift is one of vintage wine and with some of the best vintages of the end of the 20th century in the 1970s you are in luck.
You don't have to be a wine expert to buy Vintage wine, there are so many online wine stores and specialist shops where you can buy the wine from the year that you want and you can buy presentation sets with one bottle or if you are feeling extravagant then a whole case. Have a look at WineAccess.com Deals of the Day!
If you are celebrating your 40th wedding anniversary in 2010 then you can do no wrong in choosing a great vintage from 1970. Italy, France, California all produced stunning wines and 1970 vintage Port will also be stunning - we tried some recently - all I can say is wow!
If you were married in 1971 then again you have a great year with fantastic vintages. Not as much wine was produced in 1971 as 1970 so the wine is not as readily available and this will be reflected in the price. However Italian wines did really well in 1971 so you should be able to find a stunning Chianti or Barolo.
1972 was not a brilliant year for wines in Bordeaux and France in general, luckily the Italian wine producers rescued us with great crops from Piedmont and Tuscany that are still good to drink today.
As well as vintage wines don't forget you also have vintage Port and also vintage Whisky, plus your 40th anniversary traditional gift is that of ruby, a nice ruby Port would be a perfect gift.
