    Global Cheers: Discover Unique Christmas Alcohol Gifting Traditions

    Celebrate the festive spirit with Drinks House 247 as we journey through the enchanting world of Christmas alcohol gifts and traditions. From the spiced warmth of mulled wine to the creamy delight of Eggnog, every culture has its own way of raising a glass.

    1. Mulled Wine: A European Christmas Staple


    In many European countries, Christmas markets buzz with the aroma of mulled wine. This spiced and heated wine, known as Glühwein in Germany, is a holiday staple and a popular gift, embodying the warmth of the season.

    2. Eggnog: America's Holiday Favorite

    The US rings in the holiday cheer with Eggnog, a rich and creamy concoction spiked with bourbon or rum. Gifting bottles of premium Eggnog or the spirits to craft it is a cherished American tradition during Christmas.

    3. Sake: Japan's Symbol of Purity

    In Japan, Sake, the elegant rice wine, is often exchanged as a Christmas gift. It symbolizes purity and brings wishes of peace and happiness, reflecting the spirit of the season in every sip.

    4. Mulled Cider: A British Festive Toast

    In the UK, Mulled Cider joins the ranks of beloved Christmas beverages. Its aromatic and warming qualities make it a perfect gift, capturing the essence of British holiday traditions.

    5. Australian Sparkling Wine: A Southern Hemisphere Toast

    Australia's Christmas coincides with summer, making sparkling wine an ideal celebratory drink. Gifting Australian sparkling wine has become a festive norm, perfect for those sunny Christmas celebrations.

    Therefore,

    Bringing the traditions home

    You do not need to travel to borrow the best of these customs. A few ideas that work in a London flat or a family house anywhere in the UK:

    • German Glühwein. Warm a bottle of fruity red wine gently with orange, cinnamon, cloves and a spoon of sugar; never let it boil. For the German Feuerzangenbowle, a rum-soaked sugar cone is set alight over the pot — our dark rums do the job.
    • American eggnog. Bourbon or aged rum, egg yolks, cream, sugar and nutmeg. Our whisky and bourbon range has the right bottles.
    • Italian panettone and spumante. Prosecco or a sweeter sparkling wine with a slice of panettone is a classic Italian Christmas pairing.
    • British port and Stilton. A tawny or late-bottled vintage from our port and fortified wines with the cheeseboard.
    • French champagne at the réveillon. The French Christmas Eve feast traditionally ends with a good bottle of champagne. See champagne or our Christmas champagne guide.

    Sending a Christmas drinks gift

    Every bottle and hamper in our Christmas gifts collection can be sent with a free gift message. In London we deliver in 30–45 minutes, 24 hours a day, right through Christmas Eve and Christmas Day; elsewhere in mainland UK, order by 4pm for next-day delivery.
