When your team launches a product or closes a funding round, send each person one boxed bottle of ONEHOPE Wine at home. Add a note that names the moment. First, confirm everyone is 21 or over and lives where we ship wine: not Delaware, Rhode Island or Utah. For anyone who doesn't drink, ONEHOPE's gifting team can swap in non-alcoholic sparkling tea for most gifts.
Recipients must be 21 or over, and an adult signature is required at delivery. Sending to the whole team? Start on our Corporate Gifts page.
Which Moments Call for a Gift on an AI or Tech Team?
Match the gift to the moment:
| Occasion | What to send | Why it suits the moment | What to check first |
|---|---|---|---|
| A product launch | The Classic Shimmer Wine Gift with Gold Shimmer, a California sparkling wine with green apple and luscious pear. For the launch lead, the Congratulations Etched Wood Gift Box with Vintner Sparkling Brut, which pairs with fish and chips or lemon tart. | A sparkling toast at home once the news is out. | The launch is public. Each wood box holds one bottle, so place a separate order for each. |
| A funding round closes | The Classic Vintner Wine Gift with a Vintner wine you choose, such as the Vintner Red Blend, with cherry, raspberry and cocoa powder. | It thanks the team for the work behind the news. | The round is public, and the note leaves out figures. |
| A customer goes live | The Classic Vintner Wine Gift with the Vintner Chardonnay, with green apple, bright citrus and vanilla. | It thanks the implementation team, not only the sponsor. | Their gift policy, and how their team prefers to receive gifts. |
| A partner team finishes an integration | The Classic Etched Shimmer Wine Gift in the Thankful for You design: etched Gold Shimmer with green apple and luscious pear. | It marks work two teams finished together. | Their gift policy, and that each address is in a state we ship to. |
| Year-end thanks for a remote team | The Classic Etched Shimmer Wine Gift in the Happy New Year 2027 design. Its Gold Shimmer pairs with scallops or lemon tart. | One design for everyone, with each gift shipped to its recipient through our gifting team. | Home addresses, a private choice of wine or tea, and states we ship to. |
Wait until a launch or a round is public before any gift or note mentions it. A gift that arrives early can let the news out. Keep the note about the people and the work:
- After a launch: "It's out in the world. Thank you for everything you put into it."
- After a funding round: "Today's news belongs to this team. Thank you for the work behind it."

How Do You Send Wine to a Remote Tech Team Across States?
A remote AI or tech team with no shared office has no single address for gifts. Home addresses are the only route, so plan that step first.
- Check your own policy. Some companies have rules on alcohol gifts. Confirm yours first.
- Collect addresses privately. Ask people operations to collect home addresses with each person's consent, in a private form, not a shared sheet.
- Offer everyone the same choice. In that form, ask whether each person would like wine or non-alcoholic sparkling tea. Don't ask for reasons. Send tea, not wine, to anyone under 21.
- Check the states. We ship wine to 47 states and Washington, DC. State laws prevent us from shipping wine to Delaware, Rhode Island or Utah. Plan a gift other than wine for teammates there or abroad.
- Give notice. Someone 21 or older must be home to sign, so tell people a gift is coming.
For wine drinkers who would rather pick their own bottle, you can personalize the ONEHOPE Digital Gift Card with a gift note. It works toward any wine or gift box online and is not valid at the winery. For the basics, see how sending wine works. For the holiday season, see our employee and client holiday gift ideas.
Sending a Gift to an AI or Tech Company You Work With
When a customer goes live or a partner finishes an integration, thank the people who did the work. Include the engineers and project leads, not only the executive sponsor.
You probably don't have their home addresses, and you shouldn't ask for them. Ask your contact how their team prefers to receive gifts. Two routes work:
- Send the gifts to one office address where someone 21 or older can sign.
- Ask your contact to collect home addresses with consent and share them only with our gifting team.
Check their gift policy first, since some companies limit or decline gifts or alcohol. Keep the gift apart from any purchasing or renewal decision. For card wording and etiquette, see our client thank-you gifts guide, or browse thank-you gifts.
Adding Your Company's Logo for a Launch
You can add your company's branding with options such as gift box sleeves, stickers, custom labels and custom-etched Shimmer bottles. On our Corporate Gifts page, you can upload a logo and preview it on our custom treatments. A gifting specialist reviews the artwork and sends a final proof before production.
Use your company's logo, not the name of an unannounced product. Ask our gifting team about timing as soon as you have a target date. A logo gift that does not name the launch still works if the date moves. Custom work takes extra production time and has minimum quantities, so a small team may prefer a ready-to-order gift.
How Do I Order for a Whole Tech Team?
On our Corporate Gifts page, you can build a ready-to-order gift: a gift style, a wine collection and the bottle, with no custom artwork. Gifts can go to one address or straight to each recipient. For a remote team across several states, that means one list, with each gift shipped to a home in a state we ship to.
Each gift can carry a short note: you add it to the recipient spreadsheet, and we print it on the packing slip. Our gifting team can swap the wine in most of our gifts for a bottle of non-alcoholic sparkling tea. Tell them which recipients would like it when you send your list to gifting@onehopewine.com.
For a few gifts, order on our website. ONEHOPE wine gives back, and corporate gift orders over $1,000 include a 10% donation. For ready-to-order ideas, browse all wine gifts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good gift for my team after a funding round?
If your team enjoys wine, send one boxed bottle to each home once the round is public. The Classic Vintner Wine Gift with the Vintner Red Blend brings cherry, raspberry and cocoa powder. Thank the team for the work, with no figures in the note.
How do I send wine to remote employees in different states?
Collect home addresses through people operations with consent, and send the list to gifting@onehopewine.com. ONEHOPE ships wine to 47 states and Washington, DC, but state laws prevent shipping wine to Delaware, Rhode Island or Utah. Recipients must be 21 or over, and an adult signature is required at delivery.
What gift should I send a customer's team after they go live?
Thank the implementation team, not only the sponsor. A Classic Vintner Wine Gift with the Vintner Chardonnay, which pairs with fresh crab or dijon chicken, suits a team that enjoys white wine. Check their gift policy, and ask your contact how the team prefers to receive gifts.
Should we offer everyone a choice besides wine?
Yes. Ask each person privately when you collect addresses. Then tell ONEHOPE's gifting team who would like non-alcoholic sparkling tea, which can replace the wine in most gifts.
Can I put our logo on the bottles for a launch?
Yes, through ONEHOPE's gifting team, with a final proof before production. Custom work takes extra production time and has minimum quantities, so email gifting@onehopewine.com once your launch date is set.
What should a supplier send an AI company for year-end thanks?
The Classic Etched Shimmer Wine Gift in the Thankful for You design says thanks on the bottle. Its etched Gold Shimmer pairs with scallops or lemon tart. Check the company's gift policy, then ask your contact whether to ship to one office or to homes they collect with consent. Recipients must be 21 or over, and ONEHOPE can't ship wine to Delaware, Rhode Island or Utah. For the 2026 holidays, order by December 15 for ground shipping or by December 22 for express shipping.
