What is the best personalised gift for a wine lover?

For most wine lovers, the Personalised Wine Lover print is the one to start with. The design is shaped around a wine glass and built entirely from words you choose, so instead of a generic vineyard picture they get their own name, their favourite variety and the phrases they repeat at every dinner. You type the words in, watch the design build in real time, and see a free preview before you pay anything.

Who it suits: the friend who always picks the wine at the restaurant, the parent who has a “good bottle” saved for every occasion, or the partner who plans holidays around vineyards.

What words to put on it: their name, two or three favourite grapes (Malbec, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir), a region they love (Rioja, Bordeaux, Marlborough), and a couple of their catchphrases such as “wine o’clock” or “just one more glass”.

It works as a digital download from £9.99, which arrives instantly, or as a framed print in A4 (£22.99) or A3 (£30.99) with a white mount. A3 suits a hallway or living room as a centrepiece; A4 sits nicely on a shelf, a kitchen wall or as part of a gallery wall.

Which wine glass design should I choose?

There are three wine glass designs in the shop, all built from your own words and all at the same prices. The Wine Lover print above is the original. The alternative Wine Glass print uses a different layout of the same idea, and a third Wine Glass design shapes the words around a glass of wine in another pose. None is “better”: it comes down to which shape suits the wall and how many words you have.

A few tips for choosing

• Lots of words? If you’ve got a long list of grapes, places and memories, preview each design with the same words and pick the one where they read most clearly.
• Buying a pair? Two different wine glass designs side by side work well for a couple, one with each person’s favourites.
• Going framed? Think about where it will hang. A dining room wall or kitchen is the natural home for a wine print.

What do you buy a red wine lover?

Red wine fans tend to be specific: they’ll tell you they prefer a Rioja Reserva to a Crianza, or that nothing beats a Barolo with Sunday dinner. That specificity is exactly what makes a word art print work. Rather than a generic red wine gift, fill the design with the grapes and regions they actually drink.

Who it suits: the dad who decants everything, the friend who brought back a case from Tuscany, the colleague who runs the office wine club.

What words to put on it: Merlot, Shiraz, Malbec, Tempranillo, Rioja, Barolo, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, “let it breathe”, “one more glass”, the name of their favourite wine bar. Choose the alternative Wine Glass design if you want a slightly different look from the original.

What’s a good gift for someone who loves fizz?

Plenty of wine lovers are happiest with a glass of bubbles. The Champagne print shaped like a glass and bottle is built around the moments worth remembering, which makes it a natural fit for engagements, weddings, promotions and New Year’s Eve. If you’d rather have the bottle on its own as the shape, the Champagne bottle print uses the same idea with a different silhouette.

Who it suits: the friend who orders Prosecco at every brunch, the couple who just got engaged, the colleague who’s retiring and deserves a toast.

What words to put on it: names, the date of the celebration, the place it happened and the phrase you raised a glass to, such as “cheers”, “here’s to us” or “one to remember”. Add Prosecco, Cava, Crémant or their favourite house if they have one.

What are the best Christmas gifts for wine lovers?

Christmas is the busiest time for wine gifts, and it’s also when bottles blur together under the tree. A print stands out because it can only be for them. For a Christmas gift, think about the year they’ve had: the holiday where they found a new favourite, the wine tasting they went on, or the bottle you shared on a special night.

• For a parent: the Wine Lover print with their favourite grapes, their name and family in-jokes from around the dinner table.
• For a partner: a wine glass design built from the bottles you’ve shared, the restaurants you love and the trips you’ve taken together.
• For Secret Santa or a stocking filler: the digital download from £9.99 is instant, so it’s handy for last-minute shopping. Print it at home or at a local print shop and pop it in a card or a simple frame.

If you’re ordering framed prints for Christmas, leave enough time: the product pages say unframed and framed prints take 3–5 working days.

What should I get a wine lover for their birthday?

Birthdays are a chance to make it all about them. The Wine Lover print works well here because you can mix wine words with personal ones: their name, nicknames, the places they’ve lived and the friends they drink with. For a big celebration where a toast is the centre of the night, the Champagne glass and bottle print fits nicely, with the date and the guest list worked into the design.

Who it suits: anyone with a birthday coming up who’d rather have something thoughtful than another bottle to keep in the rack.

What words to put on it: their name, “happy birthday”, the year, favourite wines, the friends who always come round, and the toast they always give.

Is a wine print a good housewarming gift?

A bottle of wine is the classic housewarming gift, and it’s hard to beat for the first night in. Pairing that bottle with something they’ll keep is what makes the gift memorable. A wine glass print with the new address, the date they got the keys and the wine they opened to celebrate makes a lovely piece for a new kitchen or dining room.

If you’d like the home itself to be the shape, the House print and the Door Key print are built from words in the same way. Fill them with the street name, the people who live there and the things that make it home, then add the wine they love to the word list so it still feels like a gift for a wine lover.

What words to put on it: the street and town, the move-in date, everyone’s names (pets too), “home sweet home”, “first glass in the new house”, and their favourite bottle.

What about engagements and weddings?

For a couple who met over a bottle, got engaged in a vineyard or toasted with champagne on the big day, wine words fit naturally into a romantic gift. The Engagement print and the Wedding print are built from your own words, so you can include the wine they had at the proposal, the toast at the reception, or the region they’re honeymooning in alongside their names and the date.

Who it suits: newly engaged friends, a couple getting married, or your own partner if wine is part of your story together.

What words to put on it: both names, the date, the venue, “cheers to us”, the wine served at dinner and the place you first shared a bottle.

What if they love gin, coffee or tea as well as wine?

Plenty of wine lovers have more than one favourite drink. If wine is for the weekend and gin is for Friday night, the Gin Lover print works the same way, built from their favourite botanicals, tonics and garnishes, such as juniper, elderflower and pink grapefruit. For the person who starts every day with an espresso before moving on to a glass of red in the evening, the Cup of Coffee print or the Coffee Cup print make a nice morning companion. And for the tea drinker in the family, there’s a Cup of Tea print.

These make good partner pieces too: a wine glass print and a coffee cup print side by side in a kitchen covers the whole day, from the first brew to the last pour.

What words to put on a wine lover print

The words are what make a print personal, and they’re also where most people get stuck. A good word list mixes three things: who they are (names and nicknames), what they drink (grapes, regions, styles) and the moments behind it (places, trips, catchphrases). Here are three example lists you can copy and adapt.

Example 1: for a red wine-loving dad

• Dad, Grandad, his first name
• Malbec, Rioja, Shiraz, Merlot, Barolo
• Mendoza, Tuscany, the Douro Valley
• “Let it breathe”, “just a small one”, “what’s for dinner?”
• Sunday roast, cheese board, the family names around the table

Example 2: for a best friend who loves white and rosé

• Her name and the nickname only you use
• Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Albariño, Provence rosé
• Marlborough, the Loire, the holiday where you found the beach bar
• “Wine o’clock”, “cheers”, “same again?”, “Friday feeling”
• Book club, the girls, the restaurant you always go back to

Example 3: for a couple who love a celebration

• Both names and the date they met, got engaged or moved in
• Champagne, Prosecco, Crémant, Cava
• The city of the proposal, the wedding venue, the honeymoon
• “Here’s to us”, “cheers to forever”, “one to remember”
• Their friends’ names, the first dance, the toast

Tips for a balanced design

• Mix short and long words. Short words (“red”, “cheers”, a name) fill the gaps, and longer ones (“Châteauneuf-du-Pape”) stand out.
• Put the most important words first. The name and the one phrase they always say should be easy to spot.
• Avoid brand names. Grapes, regions and styles feel more personal than labels anyway.
• Preview before you buy. The free preview shows exactly how your words look, so you can swap things around until it’s right.

How it works

1. Choose a print. Start with the Wine Lover print or browse the wider general word art collection for more shapes.
2. Type your own words. Add names, grapes, places and phrases. The design builds in real time as you type.
3. See a free preview. Check how it looks before paying anything, and tweak the words until you’re happy.
4. Choose your format. Pick an instant digital download from £9.99 to print yourself, or a printed or framed print delivered to your door. Framed prints come in A4 (£22.99) or A3 (£30.99) with a white mount.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good gift for a wine lover who has everything?

Someone who already owns the decanter, the glasses and the gadgets rarely has something made from their own story. A personalised Wine Lover word art print uses their name, favourite grapes, regions and dinner-table phrases to build the shape of a wine glass, so no two are the same. It also lasts far longer than another bottle.

How much does a personalised wine print cost?

Digital downloads start from £9.99 and arrive instantly, so you can print at home or at a local print shop. Framed prints with a white mount are £22.99 for A4 and £30.99 for A3. You can preview your design for free before paying anything.

How long does a framed wine print take to arrive?

The product pages say unframed and framed prints take 3–5 working days. If you’re cutting it fine for Christmas or a birthday, the digital download arrives instantly and can be printed the same day.

What words should I put on a wine lover print?

Start with their name, then add the grapes and regions they love, the places they’ve drunk wine on holiday, and the little phrases they always say, such as “wine o’clock” or “just one more glass”. Mixing names, places and in-jokes gives the most personal result. Aim
