The holiday season is right around the corner, which means, in our books anyway, that it’s time to choose wine Advent calendar to put a little booze into your Christmas countdown. While you probably have fond memories of cheery Advent calendars of your youth, often filled with festive chocolate and other sweet, innocent treats, we’re ready to take it up a notch. For something a little less traditional and a lot more boozy, you can snag one that’s filled with vino!
Instead of opening a paper door to find a small piece of candy, it’ll be much more satisfying to find a mini wine bottle. Better yet, since most of the calendars include a wide range of varieties, it’ll be a surprise that you can look forward to every day. We don’t necessarily need an excuse to do some sipping, but Advent calendars certainly help.
So, while those swans are a-swimmin’ and the geese are a-layin’ during the holidays, the wino you are or know can be a-drinkin’.
