For those who prefer their presents poured, brewed or uncorked, here are some recommendations for Christmas gifts – from top brands like Hibiki and Penfolds — perfect for tastemakers who savour the season properly.
Penfolds
Aptly themed ‘From Penfolds to the World’, Penfolds’ latest limited-edition release explores the idea of a ‘Penfolds Postal Service’—bringing together wines from some of the most revered wine-making regions across the globe and delivering them into the warm confines of home. Housed in collectible red shipping container-inspired gift boxes the collection features signatures like the Bin 389 Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz, often referred to as ‘Baby Grange’; the bold FWT 585 Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Petit Verdot from Bordeaux’s vineyards; the Bin 600 California Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz; and the CWT 521 Cabernet Sauvignon Marselan. The collection is available in Singapore from December 2025.
Coravin
The holiday season may involve more imbibing than usual, making the Coravin Timeless an ideal gift. The unique wine-by-the-glass system allows wine lovers to savour and explore wines without removing the cork, keeping flavours in the bottle intact even years later. This is achieved through a precision-engineered leader that pierces the cork to extract wine while replacing it with argon gas, ensuring no oxidation occurs and preserving the wine’s integrity. The 2025 Limited-Edition Timeless Six+ comes in a brand new Hermitage Red hue, giving wine lovers another option to make a bold statement with their wine accessories. Each set also includes a premium Timeless aerator, a carry case, and a wine bottle sleeve.
Hibiki Suntory whisky
Suntory’s Hibiki Premium Gift Edition is the perfect gift for Japanese whisky lovers. The exquisite packaging, which features a traditional Hanaguruma pattern of a cart adorned with flowers such as plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, and autumn leaves, symbolises the changing of the Japanese seasons and the hopes of a bright new year. Tucked within is Suntory’s signature whisky, selected for its warm, harmonious flavour profile with notes of honey, oak, and spice, and aged to perfection.
Johnnie Walker
Johnnie Walker Master Blender Dr. Emma Walker once again teamed up with renowned fashion designer Olivier Rousteing to unveil the second release from their collaboration — the Couture Blend, a limited-edition Scotch crafted as a tribute to progress, artistry, and personal evolution. The blend brings together rare vintage and ghost whiskies from long-closed distilleries with some of Scotland’s most experimental modern expressions, including whiskies aged for over 40 years. Encased in a bold architectural crystal decanter, dressed in gold and topped with an oversized stopper reflecting Rousteing’s signature design, it is a collectible showpiece designed to spark conversation. With only 1,500 numbered bottles worldwide, and just 39 available in Singapore, the Couture Blend is an exceptional gifting choice for whisky connoisseurs.
Nespresso
Nespresso‘s latest Festive Collection features indulgent treats and gifts made for coffee lovers–from the beautifully crafted Barista Mixologist Stemmed Glasses to the Festive Coffee Mug, embossed with an exquisite coffee flower-inspired design by Kenyan artist Thandiwe Muriu. Elevate daily rituals with compact statement machines like the Vertuo Pop in Candy Pink (for mug-sized flavoured blends crowned with richly dense cream) or the sleek Lattissima One in White from the Original range (for shorter cup sizes that embody the traditional Italian coffee experience). The new collection also includes a limited-edition black coffee and two new flavoured coffees, namely the Sweet Almond and Hibiscus Flavoured coffee, and the Cinnamon and Candied Tamarind Flavoured coffee. For something classic, the Festive Espresso features an Arabica blend of African coffees from Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Kenya, with cereal and fruity notes that can be enjoyed on its own or as a Latte Macchiato.
