Personalised Glasses: Best Gifts This New Year

Posted by The Engraved Gifts Company on January 12th, 2016

New Year has always been a time of giving and what better way to celebrate the season of giving than with gifts! Personalised wine glasses are mainstays in corporate gifting, ideal for those looking for an elegant way to promote their company to their clients, suppliers, associates, and even their employees. Custom engraved wine glasses, however, also make great personal gifts that are symbolic of good taste and sophistication. If you want to make your New Year gift extra special, having wine glasses engraved also makes a distinct and memorable gift for friends and loved ones.

Glassware is traditionally used to mark and commemorate achievements and celebrate milestones and they are also great gifts that can help you make merry during special holidays, especially at New Year holidays. Personalised wine glasses, cut crystal goblets, champagne flutes, and even shot glasses can all be individually engraved to express the special message you wish to send this holiday season.

Some 2 billion bottles of wine are consumed each year in the UK alone, so you can guarantee that people will be appreciative of custom engraved wine glasses as a gift. With every toast they make and each glass of wine they pour, your friends and loved ones will be reminded of the thoughtfulness that went into your gift.

When shopping for personalised glasses to giveaway this New Year season, here are some useful tips to remember:

  • Wineglasses come in a variety of styles and you will usually know a stemware from another by its distinguishing features. Red wine glasses for instance, have rounder and wider bowls. This helps increase the oxidation rate of the wine. Oxidation alters the texture and flavour of the bouquet at hand. Bordeaux glass is a popular choice for full-bodied reds, featuring a tall stem and a very large bowl—which also means larger space for whatever type of engraving you wish to include.
  • White wine glasses have smaller mouths, reducing the surface area of the bowl and in turn, the level and rate of oxidation of its contents, thus preserving the crisp and clean flavour of whites.
  • Sparkling wine and similar types of drinks are commonly served in champagne flutes. These are long-stemmed glasses with a tall and narrow bowl on top. This retains carbonation, keeping your champagne bubbly for longer.

It pays to know the appropriate type of glass to use for each kind of drink so that you can choose your gift carefully depending on your recipients' favourites.
