There is no such thing as a best wine.
It is possible to pay astronomical money for very special wines,
but you can also get very nearly the same taste for really very
little if you know a bit about wine or are prepared to do a bit
of research. Of course people's tastes vary as well. What is
really good for one person may not be to someone else's liking.
I am rather conservative in my wine drinking, having been
brought up on the odd burgundy, some decent claret, Chablis and
Frascati for the light whites, and of course Muscat de
Beaume-de-Venise with pudding. Port is also good for
after-dinner with Spanish sherry or Italian marsala before.
I wish I had the money and the constitution to be able to do
this on a more regular basis all in one meal. Once or twice a
year a 'blow-out' does happen, but most of the time my
href=http://www.saloto.com>best wine is the one I'm happy
with on a day-to-day basis.
Of course it's easy if you live in a wine making region. The
local wine is the best. Ask anyone from Bordeaux which is the
best wine for drinking every day and they will mention their
local vineyard and its product. Go to Sicily and they will say
the same. The two wines could not be more different, but the
locals will vehemently stick up for their local product as if it
is the only wine a sane person would drink (everyone else being
outsiders so they don't know anyway), although they will also
know enough about wine to appreciate another good wine if they
try it.
I happen to have been very lucky indeed on occasions by being
offered a friend's "best wine", (that really means you are a
very good friend if he/she pulls out a Latour '72) but so often
that means the most expensive rather than necessarily the best.
I have one friend who really is a wine buff and does not have a
lot of money. He buys wine from the little wineries just next
door to all the favourite and famous ones for a fraction of the
cost of the 'real thing'. They are often very similar indeed,
and my inexpensive visits are an education. The chap is a
cartographer so he's got maps and wine guides everywhere to work
out the cheapest alternatives to the "great vineyards". If I
asked him "what is the best wine?" he would probable say "the
one that tastes identical to the real thing for a fraction of
the cost.
Of course if you are a wine buff already you probably have a few
'special ones' up your sleeve; for some of us, continued study
and tasting will help our vinicultural knowledge; if you are
lucky enough to live in the Chianti region of Italy then you
will have your own best vineyard from which to get wine; if you
live anywhere where you can get a bottle of wine you will have a
best wine for special occasions from the local shop.
Best wine depends partially upon the company as well of course.

Then you want to start looking at the actual occasion. Are you going to a party, or is this gift to be a housewarming gift or a birthday present? If the wine basket is for a party then get something that the host can open up and share with everyone at the party, this is a great idea. If the wine basket is for some other sort of occasion put some thought into what the person likes and try to get a wine basket that represents this.
Perhaps the most important question concerning the purchase of any wine basket is how much you have to spend. You should never spend more than you can afford on any gift. Work out how much you can spend on a wine basket and then shop within this budget. There are all kinds of different wine baskets out there and if you look you will be able to find the perfect wine basket no matter how much you have to spend.
