Long Island Wine and Spirit Merchants welcomes winter with new designer gift basket release

Nov. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- Long Island Wine and Spirit Merchants, one of the largest wine and spirits merchants on Long Island, unveiled its latest gift basket collection right in time for the upcoming holidays. Ranging in price from $109 to $1499, Wow Factor gift baskets carry between two and eleven bottles and serve as wonderful entertainment and conversation pieces. Visitors can save money by ordering online from http://www.grapediscounts.com, Merchants’ website, and then opting for delivery or picking up at the store.  
   The primo Wow Factor gift basket Board the Wow Train ($14 99) carries eleven bottles of wine and an aerator, all packaged into a limited edition working pedal car train. The set includes both red and white wines from such well-rated labels as Layer Cake, Antinori Tignanello, and Vieux Telegraph. The Winemaker Rack, priced at $309, features seven bottles of wine placed into a custom-made Karen Didion wine rack. The $109 Layer Cake Umbrella Stand presents two delicious Layer Cake wines in a statement piece metal umbrella stand.
   “It’s true that you’d probably give our most expensive gift baskets to those friends and family members who just seem to have everything,” said sommelier Adam Schneider.  “But we pride ourselves in providing wine and spirits for everyone, and we have great gift baskets at all price points. We have something for everyone,” he continued.
   Wow Factor baskets are just one collection of many others, such as Beach Club, Napa Anyone?, Born in the USA, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Walk on the Wild Side. Walk on the Wild Side baskets have especially been a hit, for their versatile wine offerings and decadently packaged animal print boxes. Hayman and Hill Cabernet for Walk on the Wild Side was featured on Good Morning America – for $52.99 it includes one bottle of cabernet sauvignon wrapped in a leopard print wine purse with corkscrew. Other wine and spirits gift baskets can be found online or in store for as little as $43.99. Baskets feature red wine or white wine only, or a combination of both.
Long Island Wine and Spirit Merchants can ship anywhere within the continental United States. NY Newsday recently featured an article on Long Island Wine and Spirit Merchants that highlighted its grand size and variety of assortment.
