Don't be disappointed if your wine is not served. Some hosts just don't serve wine. Others have already chosen the wine they wish to serve. If you've bought a quality bottle of wine, know that it will be enjoyed at some other time and your thoughtfulness will be remembered. When in doubt, bring wine.
Wine is a good, appropriate gift for any occasion - other than a child's birthday party.
While it might be a matter of taste, wine doesn't go bad too quickly, doesn't have to match a color scheme, is both unisex and one size fits all and it can always be recycled. Yarden Mount Hermon is not the only wine on the market It might be the wine most often bought, but it is not the only choice you have. No need to go for the tried and true and in this case, boring. Show that you have taste and go for another bottle, any other bottle. Your host will thank you.
