    The Perfect Last Minute Gift: Missouri Wine

    This year, don’t stress your holiday shopping. Shop local. Sip local. Gift local!

    Did the holidays sneak up on you? Don't worry. We know the perfect, fast and easy solution… a case of Missouri wine. That's right; you can take care of 12 people all at one time. How simple was that?

    Gifting locally-made, award-winning wine is more than just giving a gift. It's telling a story, offering a sense of place, and sharing your interests and passion. That's right. You just became the MVP of the holiday season.

    There are more than 125 wineries in the state. That means, there is most certainly at least one within a quick drive of wherever in Missouri you call home. Heading out to a winery to check off your shopping list sounds like a lot more fun than combating the crowds at a packed shopping mall. Visit your nearest or dearest local winery, and put your holiday shopping woes behind you. It's time to enjoy the season, not stress it.

    There are so many fun and thoughtful ways to wrap wine as a gift. Use a festive or customized tea towel or a pair of funky, cute socks to wrap a special bottle of wine. Talk about a conversation piece! Check out these and more cool wine gift-wrapping ideas here.
