Christmas giftsFinding the right wine gift can be a challenge regardless of who's actually been naughty or nice. There are different price ranges for everyone you need to buy gifts for, never mind that everyone on your list might have a different level of wine knowledge or appreciation.

With that, The Daily Sip brings you holiday gift suggestions for all the important wine drinkers on your shopping list:
