Traditional 30th Anniversary Gifts

Traditional 30th anniversary gifts in the form of vintage wine are a great way to remember what a fantastic decade the eighties were! The music and the fashion of thirty years ago were unique and the same can be said about some of the great vintages.

You can buy vintage wines from a number of wine websites and you don't have to be an expert to buy them and definitely not to enjoy them! There is something great about having a bottle of wine from the year you were married, it is a time capsule from your great year, a little bit of history!

If you were married in 1980 then you have a good wine vintage that is ready for drinking and the port is also a good vintage, also available.

Wines from 1981 are less intense and ready to be drunk now and your 30th anniversary has to be a great reason to open a bottle!

Wines from 1982 are wonderful, you can either drink them now or keep them for a couple of years, how about saving a bottle of vintage port for your 35th? Look out for wines from Bordeaux, Medoc, and California.

If you were married in 1983 then there was another good vintage, not as great as 1982 but still worth celebrating! The best wines for now from 1983 are from Bordeaux and also some lovely Cabernet Sauvignons from California.

If you are looking for 1984 then California had great vintages that year but it was a poor year for Europe.

If wine is not your thing then you also have vintage Whiskies and also Armagnacs, there is always something for everyone!
