Have you thought of giving wine?

If you haven't you should. Any time is a good time to bring wine as a gift. Birthday, engagement, wedding, anniversary, housewarming, new baby. But you don’t need to wait for a big event. A surprise bottle of wine wrapped with a ribbon is a great way to accent any message you want to send.

At Hannaford, you’ll find a tremendous selection of wines, in a range of affordable prices. Tie on a ribbon, add some chocolates, fruits or special cheese and crackers from our deli and you’ll be the star guest everywhere you go.

Wine with a personal touch - Woodland Estates Home Winery kit
The home winemaking kit is a new innovation in North America, but has been enjoyed by many Europeans over the last ten years. Simply put, this allows you to make 4.5 liters of premium wine in your home in 10 days -  the equivalent of 6 bottles of wine at a cost of 5 dollars a bottle. Plus, the bag-in-a-box format keeps the wine fresh for weeks. The kit is a one-time purchase, and concentrate packages are available separately.

The perfect present
For special occasions, most meals appreciate a bottle of wine on the table. The extra bottle you bring as a gift will always be welcome. Keep these popular stand-bys on hand for last-minute gifts.
