Being an adult means upgrading from Advent calendars filled with chocolates and candies to ones filled with wine and booze (though we thoroughly love a good chocolate Advent calendar—who doesn’t?). You get the same childhood thrill of opening a little door, only now there’s something on the other side that can really make your spirits bright. And when it comes to wine Advent calendars, there are more options than you might think.
Whether you’re loyal to reds, partial to whites, or just here for the bubbles, there’s a wine-filled calendar with your name on it—or someone else’s, if you can bring yourself to give it away as a gift. Some even include sommelier-led tasting videos, so you can raise your wine IQ. So go ahead and snag a few of the best wine advent calendars below.
Due to state laws—hello North Carolina—some items can’t be shipped to certain states, so make sure to double-check shipping restrictions before trying to place your order. Don’t let the name fool you: Give Them Beer makes some of the best wine (as well as other spirit-filled) Advent calendars around. Unlike most other wine Advent calendars that only offer a single glass per night, this version contains a different half-size wine bottle behind every door.
It’s a great option for couples—or really anyone who enjoys a heavy pour. Shipping: Available for preorder now; shipping begins in November. Give Them Beer's sparkling-wine Advent calendar is the perfect way for any wine lover to cheers to the season.
The 12-night countdown contains mini bottles of Champagne, Prosecco, Brut, and other bubbles from popular European wineries like Chandon, La Marca, Freixenet, Mionetto and Ruffino. Shipping: Available for preorder now; shipping begins in late October. Interested in expanding your palate and learning more about wine from sommeliers?
Vinebox’s wine Advent calendars let you do just that. Choose from the 12 Nights Velvet Collection (which features eight bold red wines and four whites) and the 12 Nights Vine Collection (which features whites, reds, and a rosé), or get the 24 Nights of Wine Advent calendar, which contains both collections. You’ll get access to sommelier-led wine tasting videos for each wine in the collection for an educational and delicious experience.
