if the wine lover in your life's too cool for school (and definitely too cool for a bottle of supermarket Prosecco)

drop's here for you, and our 2024 natural wine gift guide has you covered.

From cosy reds to celebratory sparklers, these are our recommendations for sipping and gifting through the festive season. 


White Wines


I'm sorry, we're predictable, but what's a wine gift guide without a bit of Chin Chin. This bottle is iconic for a reason, and any white wine lover will appreciate the crisp freshness that this Vinho Verde brings. 

drop team favourites Metamorphika don't only make delicious wines like this ultra-drinkable Chenin Blanc, their clay bottles make them super giftable too. 

Pipeño's 1l bottle of Chilean white wine is the perfect gift for sharing round the dinner table, with plenty of thirst-quenching flavour to talk the night away. 

For a bit of luxury or for notorious Chardonnay lovers (we all know one), Black Sands is well rounded with a medium-full body and oak complexity- the perfect match for an indulgent festive cheeseboard.

Red Wines

Tis the season for red wine drinkers, and Don Tinto is the perfect spicy bottle for any big red lover, packed with cosy vanilla tasting notes. 

That one's not quite as Christmassy as Shop Cuvée's modern mulled wine. This winter warmer is backed by festive spice and citrus to get you through the dark winter nights. 

One of the best thing about natty wine is getting new takes on traditional and sometimes boring grapes. Abracadabra Merlot gives you an unconventional look at Bordeaux wine, super drinkable especially when chilled!

If you're gifting local this year, there can't be much better than Davenport's English Pinot Noir. This fresh wine can be drunk now or kept for up to 5 years to develop more complex flavours and character. See you Christmas 2029?

Orange Wine

More than a flash in the pan trend, orange wine is the gift that keeps on giving.  

If our customers are anything to go by, Salamandre Orange is the wine to have. Again and again. Super soft with a little minerality, orange blossom floral notes alongside a prominent flavour of juicy peach. 

If you're that person who's always trying to get your pals on the orange wine hype, we reckon Fratelli Felix is the perfect intro to get them hooked. 

For those who are a bit further along on their orange wine journey, Pépin Orange is the perfect gift. Beautifully complex, this is a perfect match for the sweet, rich desserts Christmas brings.

Sparkling Wine

What's Christmas without a bit of festive fizz? 

La Dilettante is the perfect natural Champagne alternative for all your toasts but if you want the real deal, Maxime Blin offers a luxurious organic Champagne for the traditionalists. 

For the real individual, we've got plenty of delicious Pet Nats to give you some unorthodox bubbles. Try Tuff Nut for  fresh and fruity sparkler or go rogue with a sparkling rosé like Good Day
