When you think of Valentine's Day, you think of chocolate, but this year, why not change things up a bit and give alcohol as a gift? 🥰

But... I'm not knowledgeable about alcohol!! For those of you, I've written Yoko's blog, which is a must-read. 🎁

Yoko, the store manager who understands the maidenly heart that worries about gifts and knows what kind of alcohol men like, has selected 10 gift alcohols 🎁

Actually... alcohol is a popular gift for adult men!

💡 How to choose alcohol to give for Valentine's Day?

When choosing a Valentine's Day gift, I often hear people say in stores, "There are so many types of alcohol, I don't know which one to choose."
I will introduce tips for choosing alcohol that will make the recipient say "thank you".

🎁 Choose according to the recipient's preference or a higher-grade alcohol

First, from your daily conversations, research what kind of alcohol the recipient likes. This will help you narrow down the types of alcohol to give for Valentine's Day. An おしゃれなデザインやワンランク上の1本も◎ is also a good choice.

🎁 Choose a taste that pairs well with chocolate and snacks

When you want to "give food that pairs well with alcohol" on Valentine's Day, alcohol that pairs well with chocolate and snacks is a good idea.
For my favorite chocolate, choosing aromatic and savory dark beer, sweet wine with a core, or aromatic whiskey allows you to enjoy the marriage with chocolate.

🎁 Choose based on price and size

The majority of women purchase alcohol for Valentine's Day with a budget of "3,000 yen to 5,000 yen". If you choose something too expensive, the recipient may have trouble with a White Day return gift. It is recommended to consider the budget based on your relationship with the recipient.

There's a reason to give alcohol as a gift! 🎉

・Can choose from 1000 yen range to super luxury depending on budget ・Wide variety of types such as whisky, sake, shochu, and wine ・Won't be the same as others!

In reality,don't you often want to give a gift to men who aren't very fond of sweets, or men who love alcohol?🙂
Sumidaya's EC site will introduce recommended alcoholic beverages for such people! 😊
For those who purchase, we will also add a little chocolate as a gift!

What Sumidaya can do 🎁🎁🎁

① e-Gift allows you to send even if you don't know the recipient's address (here) ② Purchase as a gift (here) ③ If the alcohol is not on the gift page, write "for gift" in the purchase memo and we will package and send it as much as possible (Please be sure to include it in the memo)

🎁 [Whisky・Wine] that pair well with chocolate and homemade dishes

Exquisite sweet wine that isn't too sweet 🍷

Coteaux du Layon, one of France's three great sweet wines
The key is that it's "not too sweet". It's an attractive wine that's not just sweet, with the characteristic aroma and sweetness of botrytized grapes, and the complexity and mellowness added by aging. It's a bottle that can be enjoyed with men who don't like overly sweet wines.
