Blanc de blanc or rosé? Vintage or non-vintage? Brut or demi? If none of these terms make sense to you, then you probably would have a tough time getting the best deal on champagne. Though true champagne can only be produced in a tiny region of France, the gallimaufry of terms ascribed to it are enough to make any reveler’s head spin. That’s why if you’re ever in the situation of having to give champagne as a gift, it’s best to leave it to the experts. Don’t cop out by buying the standby “yellow label,” which, for the money, is a far worse deal than it’s rose-labeled (and more expensive) older sibling: enlist the help of someone who has been giving gifts to wine lovers and those in need of congratulations for a long time – someone who knows the ins and outs, the hows and whys of wine.

A good way to enlist the help of these experts – especially if you want to save time buying gifts – is to find an online gift basket store that puts together nice champagne gift baskets. These companies have usually been in the business for years and are experts when it comes to choosing the right assortment of goodies to include with a bottle of bombastic bubbly. Be it a bottle of VC Rosé or a bottle of the much sought-after Kristal, a good gift basket will contain all that’s needed to enjoy it and more: fine stems, an opener (if necessary), a foil cutter, along with some treats – for champagne, perhaps a mild goat milk cheese – and these companies specialize in putting this altogether. Not only that, but shipping wine, and especially champagne, which is so bubbly – can be a nightmare for both you and the recipient: for you because it’s such a hassle to pack, and for the recipient because many shippers will not take extra care with a package that isn’t shipped from a good customer that pays good money to ensure that their champagne gift baskets get to where they’re supposed to be going without being exposed to extreme heat or agitation, which can cause the champagne not only to go flat, but could also potentially cause the bottle to explode.

So if you’re in the market for the best congratulations gift or a gift that simply says “thank you” in a very big (and luxurious) way, look to online gift basket company to make your life easier and make the day of the recipient a special one.
