Build your own wine gift box with 3 bottles

A store-bought box is often two bottles picked to suit everyone, an accessory and a pretty package. At Tasters, the minimum order is 3 bottles, which works well. Three wines are the right number to tell a story, compare styles or go with a full meal.

Here is what's coming. A tour of French-speaking Switzerland for under CHF 70, a holiday meal box, a trio of rare grapes and a prestige box over CHF 200, so with free shipping. You'll also find the total price of each box, ideas for presenting it, and an alternative for giving discoveries every month.

Wine gift box, the short answer

The best wine gift box is the one you build around an idea. A region, a meal or a few grapes to discover. Three bottles are enough. Count on about CHF 65 to 85 for a great box of Swiss wines, and from CHF 200 for a prestige box, delivered with no shipping fee.

The prices below were checked in our shop on 28 October 2026. They can change with stock, and some wines go fast before the holidays. And if one bottle is all you need, our guide on which wine to give at Christmas suggests 12, sorted by budget.

Why build your box yourself

A homemade box has three advantages.

• It's personal. You choose each bottle with the person who'll drink it in mind, and it shows.
• It tells a story. Three wines from one region, three stages of a meal or three rare grapes. The common thread turns three bottles into an experience.
• You know what you're paying for. Your whole budget goes into the wine, not into a cardboard box.

For wrapping, a reclaimed wooden crate, a nice piece of fabric or plain kraft paper with a ribbon all work well. What matters most is the little note that explains your choice.

Box 1, the tour of French-speaking Switzerland (CHF 65.80)

The idea is three cantons, three signature grapes and a trip from Lake Geneva to the Rhône. It suits someone who lives far from Romandie, or someone who thinks Swiss wine stops at Fendant.

Calamin Grand Cru 2025, Stéphane Porchet (Calamin Grand Cru AOC), CHF 19.80 (70 cl). Calamin is one of the smallest grands crus in Switzerland, a few hectares of slopes above Lake Geneva. Almond, yellow fruit and a stony minerality. This is Chasselas from Lavaux at its most delicate.

La Murgère, Petite Arvine 2025, La Rodeline (Valais AOC), CHF 30.80. Rhubarb, wisteria, citrus and a salty finish. A concentrated, lively Petite Arvine from La Rodeline in Fully.

Gamay Tradition 2024, Domaine de Beauvent (Genève AOC), CHF 15.20. Strawberry, raspberry and a hint of pepper. A fresh, easy red from Geneva, to serve at around 14°C with cold cuts or a fondue.

Total CHF 65.80, plus CHF 12 shipping.

Box 2, the holiday meal from aperitif to main course (CHF 81.40)

The idea is one bottle for each moment of the meal. It's the right box for the person who hosts the whole family at Christmas and has no time to think about pairings.

Asolo Prosecco Superiore Extra Brut, Tenuta Amadio (Asolo Prosecco DOCG), CHF 15.60. For the aperitif. Dry and precise, with green apple, Williams pear and floral notes. Far from the sweet prosecco you may know.

Chardonnay, sélection sous-bois 2023, Caves du Château d'Auvernier (Auvernier AOC), CHF 29. For the starter. A Chardonnay from Neuchâtel aged a year in oak barrels, rich and long, with vanilla notes. It goes very well with lake fish in a sauce or with salmon.

Cuvée Carlos Grosjean, sélection privée 2021, Caves du Château d'Auvernier (Auvernier AOC), CHF 36.80. For the main course. An elegant Pinot Noir with cherry, wild strawberry, fine tannins and lively acidity. It works with a festive roast bird, a duck breast or a mushroom risotto.

Total CHF 81.40, plus CHF 12 shipping.

Box 3, the rare grapes nobody has tasted yet (CHF 84)

The idea is three little-known Swiss grapes. It's the ideal box for a curious person, someone who has already tried everything or loves to impress guests.

Le Chargeux Completer 2025, La Rodeline (Valais AOC), CHF 38.50. Completer is an old grape that almost nobody grows anymore. Mirabelle plum, citrus, lime and fresh acidity. Superb with scallops.

Raffort, Humagne Blanc 2025, La Rodeline (Valais AOC), CHF 27.50. Humagne Blanc is a typical Valais grape. White flowers, linden, a slight exotic touch, then a finish of almond and toast.

Mara 2025, Laurent Berthet (Lavaux AOC), CHF 18. Mara is a rare Swiss grape, almost unknown. Blackberry, cherry, blackcurrant, then spice notes. The tannins are firm, so decant it an hour before serving at 16-18°C.

Total CHF 84, plus CHF 12 shipping. To learn more about this estate in Fully, visit the La Rodeline website.

Box 4, the prestige box with free shipping (CHF 208.90)

The idea is three great bottles for an exceptional gift, a milestone birthday or someone who means a lot to you. Bonus, from CHF 200 of order, shipping is free.

Prélude Grands Crus, Taittinger (Champagne AOC), CHF 68.50. A champagne made from Grands Crus grapes, with mineral notes, elderflower and spice. Long, rich and fresh at the same time. More on the cuvée on the Taittinger website.

Quattromani 2023, Gialdi (Ticino AOC), CHF 69. A Merlot from Ticino, generous, with ripe red fruit and a note of plum. The tannins are gentle. Serve it with a stew or a meat risotto.

Les Grand'Vignes, sélection parcellaire 2022, Caves du Château d'Auvernier (Auvernier AOC), CHF 71.40. A Pinot Noir from Neuchâtel made from a single-plot selection, with fresh red berries and silky tannins. Delicate and refined, to open with a rib of beef or a porcini risotto.

Total CHF 208.90, free shipping.

How to present your wine box

Presentation turns three bottles into a real gift. A few simple ideas.

1. One card per bottle. The name of the wine, the grape, the serving temperature and a dish to pair it with. You'll find all of this on each wine page.
2. A tasting order. For the holiday meal box, number the bottles. 1 for the aperitif, 2 for the starter, 3 for the main course.
3. A pairing idea. Add a link to a food and wine pairing page, such as which wine with fondue for the Geneva Gamay.

On the practical side, delivery takes 3 to 5 working days, within Switzerland only, and you can pay by Twint, Visa, MasterCard, Apple Pay or Google Pay. For Christmas, order before mid-December to be on the safe side. Want to know more about Swiss wines before choosing? The Swiss Wine website presents the country's six wine regions.

Frequently asked questions about the wine gift box

How many bottles should go in a wine box?

Three bottles is the ideal format. Enough to tell a story or cover a full meal, without blowing the budget. It's also the minimum order at Tasters.

What budget should I plan for a wine gift box?

For three good Swiss bottles, count between CHF 65 and CHF 85, plus CHF 12 shipping. From CHF 200 of order, shipping is free.

Can I mix red, white and sparkling in the same box?

Yes, and it's often the best idea when you don't know the person's taste well. The holiday meal box brings together a sparkling, a white and a red.

How long does it take to receive a wine box?

Delivery takes 3 to 5 working days anywhere in Switzerland. If you're running late, the Tasters Explorer gift voucher arrives by email in 2 minutes.

Your box, your story

A good wine gift box doesn't need a luxury package. It needs an idea, three good bottles and a little note. The tour of French-speaking Switzerland to take someone travelling, the holiday meal box to make life easier for the host, the rare grapes to surprise, and the prestige box for big occasions, with free shipping.

Pick your box, add the three wines to your basket, and order before mid-December. And if you want the surprise to last all year, give a Tasters Explorer wine subscription. Santé.
