Holiday Gifts Under $100 For Your Favorite Wine Lover

UPROXX believes gifting wine to your loved ones is the right, crowd-pleasing decision this holiday season and recommends Champagne Bollinger Special Cuveé NV as one of eight standout options. Their rationale? “Seriously, a good bottle of vino just might be exactly what your introverted, cat lady of an aunt needs to lighten the mood during all those holiday Zoom calls.”

Special Cuvée is suggested “for the stylish and refined person in your life.” The write up elaborates on the blend and the estate’s rich heritage before telling readers that this wine is so “iconic” because “it’s comprised of grapes sourced from 300 crus….We’re talking about the absolute best grapes from the most superior villages and plots in Champagne.” Described as triumphant, “there’s a boisterous aroma of apple and toasted almonds but the palate is rich with notes of creme brûlée and lemon parfait and a melody of stone fruits. A touch of chalk in the finish balances out the sturdy, fine bubbles.”

As a final comment, they note this is a wine that will only get better with time if you can resist popping it immediately. Read the full review HERE
