Here's a suggestion for a gift that weighs practically nothing, does not involve going into a shop and lasts all year. A gift subscription to our Purple Pages, of course.
If you email our membership supremo Rachel Shaughnessy at subscriptions@jancisrobinson.com with your requirements today, she can get one of our handsome gift cards in the mail in time for Christmas - if you are based in Europe.
It costs £69 for 12 months' unlimited access to nearly 10,000 articles and more than 60,000 fully searchable wine reviews, as well as the only online version of The Oxford Companion to Wine and all the maps from The World Atlas of Wine.
