5 DIFFERENT WAYS TO WRAP A BOTTLE OF WINE

5 DIFFERENT WAYS TO WRAP A BOTTLE OF WINE

What’s a timeless gift that is always received with open hands? That’s right a nice bottle of wine, the perfect gift for when you don’t know what to give. Wrapping it on the other hand is a whole other story. We’ve outlined 5 great ways to elevate your gift-wrapping skills this year. Make your bottle really stand out and go the extra mile.

The lazy wrap

This is the most typical way anyone will give a bottle. Its simple, it’s easy and it’s reusable. Meet the bottle bag. Perfect for when you’re in a rush but want to look like you’ve put in a little bit of effort. Skills required for this style of wrapping are next to none but it’s definitely time efficient.


Step 1: Purchase bag or resuse a bag from previous year

Step 2: Place bottle in bag

Step 3 : Tie with a ribbon

Step 4: You’re all done!

The sophisticated wrap

This style of wrapping requires a sophisticated choice of wine to go along with it. It shows that you care about this person and want to make a good impression. Perfect for showing off your wrapping skills and giving a gift you’re truly proud of.


Step 1: Cut a square of wrapping paper and fold into a triangle

Step 2: Fold one half of this paper into a zig zag

Step 3: Next place the bottle down on the smooth side of the paper and secure this with tape

Step 4: Secure the zig zag portion of your paper to the base of the bottle to make a fan on the side of the bottle.

Step 5: Ta da! You’re bottle of wine has never looked better.

The fancy wrap

We know you’ll be a fan of this wrap. This style is easy to complete and allows you to create an elegant looking present. Perfect for those that want to really leave the recipient guessing what gift they actually got.


Step 1: Cut enough wrapping paper to cover the exact size of the bottle and secure this with tape

Step 2: Next fold small pieces of the paper into the base of the bottle and place tape to hold this together.

Step 3: Make sure you’ve left a lot of paper at the top of the bottle. Then fold this into pleats so it becomes fan like.

Step 4: Next place a ribbon in the centre of the bottle and tape the fan together

Step 5: Watch your guests be amazed at your wrapping.

The wine snob wrap

You’ve opted for a high-class bottle of wine and the only thing that can dress this bottle up is some extravagant wrapping to match. Throw away the wrapping paper because this wrapping style has nothing but class written all over it.


Step 1: Grab some hessian fabric or a style of fabric you think would be suited.

Step 2: Next fold fabric into the centre of the bottle

Step 3: Slowly fold fabric inwards beginning with the inner sections first until the bottle is wrapped

Step 4: Tie with a ribbon at the top to really bring this look together

Step 5: Take a look at the masterpiece you have created

The simple yet stylish wrap

This is for when you’ve completely run out of wrapping paper and you need this bottle to look as special as possible despite your lack of materials. The perfect way to lift your wrapping and really let your creativity run free.


Step 1: Place bottle in the centre of your tissue paper

Step 2: Slowly grab and fold tissue paper around the bottle until it is completely pleated around the bottle

Step 3: Next secure this with a ribbon at the top

Step 4: Congratulations your gift looks amazing and is ready to give

And that’s a wrap (quite literally). Your Christmas gifts have never looked better. Don’t forget to check out what wines we have on offer! See our Buyers Club where you can purchase some of your favourite wines.
