For example, you and your significant other fought the other night and you want to make it up with them. You then give them a wine gift basket and for sure you will instantly be forgiven from the wrong things you did the other night and both of you will be able to enjoy a night filled with passion and romance and at the same time enjoy the wine gift basket. They will be more than happy to help you out and you will also learn a thing or two about wines. Along with the bottle of wine in the wine gift basket, you should also include a couple of wine glasses. A clear, crystal glass will do. Along with the glasses, you have to dress them up in your wine gift basket with wine charms. A mid range bottle of red wine can be exceptional. The decoration on the basket is also important if you really want to make it look romantic. White and red dining cotton or silk cloths are great for decorating the inside of the basket. It will enhance the appearance of the basket. And, aside from the bottle of red wine, you should also put in things that can make it look more enticing as well as romantic.

The first step in creating a wine gift basket is to place the champagne and chocolate in the basket. For the chocolates, you can choose to buy a bag of separately wrapped chocolates or a couple of small boxes of Belgian chocolate truffles.
