Everyone expects there to be wine at a wedding reception, but usually in the form of an open bar. While we definitely love and support open bars, we'd like to show you the hot trend in wedding receptions of creating wine bottles centerpieces.

1) Host a Single's Awareness Day Party 

Why limit yourself to just one Valentine? Surround yourself with all the people you love and celebrate the day together. A personalized Viva de los Andes Cabernet can act as both a refreshment and table top decoration for your singles Valentine's Day party. 

Austin, TX- After many failed attempts of gifting his girlfriend tacky socks, a matching pajama set and the end of season clearance pumpkin spice candle, local Austin man wondered why his girlfriend threatened to break up with him if he got her another gift that sucked. Luckily for him, after he searched for "Gifts that don't suck" in Google, he came across Personal Wine and sent his girlfriend a gift that she would actually enjoy. It was a personalized bottle of wine that had the words "Best Girlfriend Ever" engraved on it. It only took him a few minutes to place his order and he finally got to move from the couch back into the bedroom. 

Are you wondering what to give your loved ones this holiday season but don't have much time to think of an extravagent gift? Check out a few of these quick and easy Holiday tips to make sure your gift doesn't suck without wasting a bunch of time on it.

We've spent nearly two decades thinking about what makes a great gift great so we decided to create some gift-giving guidelines. Here are the common threads relating to rules of gift-giving that we've found:

Rule #1 - Give something people actually want

We've all been there - that awkward moment when you open up a gift and realize you'll be waiting for the day when you can throw this thing away. Material goods are ubiquitous in our time, and sometimes more stuff feels like more burden. 

It can often be difficult to give away bottles of wine in groups. The intimacy of gift-giving is at times lost through this type of repetitive & chaotic exchange.

We created this exciting ring toss game that will challenge your recipients to win their wine prize. This amusing sport can be played at weddings, corporate events and any holiday party.

When people think of good activities that pair well with wine, what first comes to mind is: a happy hour with friends, listening to live music outdoors or even an intimate night alone with their significant other. We decided to try and add one more activity to that list: spinning. Spin class has become the newest workout craze that has everyone dancing on those stationary bikes, even celebrities like Ariana Grande doing it on stage during award shows!

We partnered up with DEFINE Body & Mind, a high-end fitness studio, and hosted two "Ride For Wine" events taught by our marketing lead, Alex Strubbe - a part-time spin instructor. Participants in the event endured a 45 minute spin class then quenched their thirst with glasses of Conde Laurel Cava Brut Sparkling Wine engraved with DEFINE's logo.
