How to Send Wine as a Gift: States, Signatures and What to Expect

Posted by ONEHOPE Winery on

Yes, you can send wine as a gift. ONEHOPE Wine ships wine to 47 states and Washington, DC. We cannot ship wine to Delaware, Rhode Island or Utah because of state laws. Recipients must be 21 or over, and an adult signature is required at delivery.

Which States Can You Ship Wine To?

Each state sets its own rules for wine shipped to homes and offices. Here is where we can send a ONEHOPE wine gift.

We ship wine to We cannot ship wine to
47 states and Washington, DC Delaware, Rhode Island and Utah (state laws)

Check the recipient's address before you choose a gift. If it sits in one of the 47 states or Washington, DC, you can send wine straight to them.

Who Signs for a Wine Delivery?

An adult signs when the wine arrives, and that person must be 21 or over. The recipient must be 21 or over too.

Because someone has to sign, a wine gift does not wait on the doorstep. Pick an address where someone is usually around to sign for it.

Should You Send Wine to a Home or an Office?

Send it wherever an adult 21 or over will be there to sign. That one rule settles most cases.

  • A home works when the recipient, or another adult 21 or over, is usually home during the day.
  • An office works for people who are at their desk most days. Ask first whether their workplace accepts personal deliveries and whether someone 21 or over can sign at reception.
  • Not sure which? Ask the recipient, or someone close to them, which address works best. A small hint rarely spoils the surprise.

Sending wine to a whole team or a list of clients? Our corporate wine gifts page covers gifts in quantity. For a tech team spread across several states, see our gift guide for AI and tech teams.

Which Wine Gifts Can You Send?

A boxed bottle arrives looking like a gift, with nothing for you to wrap. These one-bottle gifts are a good place to start.

  • The Classic Vintner Wine Gift sets one Vintner wine in a magnetic gift box with gold foil ONEHOPE branding. Choose Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Blend, Sparkling Brut or Sauvignon Blanc.
  • The Classic Shimmer Wine Gift places an etched Shimmer bottle in the same magnetic box. Choose Gold or Silver Shimmer Sparkling Brut, or Pink Shimmer Sparkling Rosé, all California sparkling wine. The brut brings notes of green apple and luscious pear; the rosé, pomegranate and pink lady apple. See also our wine gifts for an engaged couple.
  • The Classic Etched Shimmer Wine Gift is one Gold Shimmer bottle etched with a message, such as Thankful for You or Cheers to You, and gift boxed. For birthdays, see our tips on sending a birthday bottle.
  • The Home Sweet Home Etched Wood Gift Box is a keepsake wooden box etched with "Home Sweet Home", with your choice of ONEHOPE wine. It suits a housewarming. Each box holds one bottle, and we recommend a separate order for each gift.

Not Sure What They Like?

The ONEHOPE Digital Gift Card lets them choose. You can personalize it with a gift note, and they can use it toward any wine, gift box or curated crate. It works for online purchases only and is not valid at the winery. To send a bottle anyway, see how to choose without knowing their taste.

How Do You Send a ONEHOPE Wine Gift, Step by Step?

  1. Check the address. For a boxed bottle, make sure it is in one of the 47 states or Washington, DC, where we ship wine.
  2. Choose the gift. Pick a boxed bottle from the list above, or the Digital Gift Card if you would rather they choose.
  3. Enter their address as the shipping address. For a boxed bottle, use the home or office where someone 21 or over can sign.
  4. Add a personal touch. Personalize the Digital Gift Card with a gift note. For a boxed bottle, send a note or message of your own.
  5. Tell them it is coming. A quick heads-up lets them plan for an adult 21 or over to sign.
