Don’t quote us on this, but we think the holidays are all about celebrations—and the C in celebration stands for champagne. Of course, we won’t discriminate on other forms of drinks as well, which is why you’ll find a myriad of options in this version of the Great GRAZIA Gift Guide: Boozy Edition.
From limited-edition pieces like the Penfolds and Nigo Holiday Collection to the Martell Cordon Bleu and Ivan Lam special design series, this is a gift guide for the collectors of all things bougie when it comes to drinks. Some gifts here also come with special packaging options, like the Veuve Clicquot “Road to the Sun” edition that comes with a Cliquot Cooler. Read on for our full list of bougie boozy beverages to gift and to receive.
The Best Christmas 2024 Holiday Drinks Gift Sets to Shop
Martell Cordon Bleu x Ivan Lam
This festive season, Martell partners with Malaysian contemporary artist Ivan Lam to create limited-edition packaging designs for the Martell Cordon Bleu. Only 130 bottles are available—to celebrate Martell’s 130 years in Malaysia. The design is intricate and if you look closely, you’ll find recognisable elements such as the Martell swift soaring across the Malaysian landscape, iconic Martell symbols such as grapes, casks, and ribbons, and the Malaysian tiger hiding within a hibiscus and the fleur de lis.
The Martell Cordon Bleu x Ivan Lam limited edition bottle can be purchased directly with Pernod Ricard Malaysia.
Penfolds Holiday Collection Designed by NIGO
Penfolds and NIGO reprise their partnership, releasing a series of specially designed gift boxes housing the brand’s most popular line of wines for the holidays. The checkered designs in black, green, blue, and red were inspired by those typically found in traditional Asian textiles symbolising eternity and prosperity.
Within the holiday collection you’ll find the Penfolds Bin 311 Chardonnay and Bin 28 Shiraz in green and blue cylinder gift boxes respectively. The Penfolds Max’s (Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz Cabernet), come in black checkered patterns. The piece de resistance in this collection is the Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz, whose giftbox includes a puffy texture effect.
Penfolds Holiday Designed by NIGO will be available in Malaysia at major supermarkets including Jaya Grocer, GCH, AEON, Urban Marketplace, and select fine wine retailers from December 2024 onwards. Bottles retail at RM150 onwards.
Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 Jean-Michel Basquiat Special Edition
Two completely different worlds that share similar values of art and complexity merge, birthing the Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 Jean-Michel Basquiat Special Edition this festive season. The late artist’s works can be seen adorning the bottle label and the gift box. Pérignon and Basquiat. There are three different boxes, each depicting a part of Basquiat’s painting. Collect all three and reassemble them to piece together the final artwork.
The Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 Jean-Michel Basquiat Special Edition is now available in Malaysia.
Veuve Clicquot Road to the Sun
Imagine this: you rock up to the Christmas party with the bottle of champagne that everybody has been waiting for—except it either needs a while to chill, or it’s warmed up during the journey to your destination. Now, there’s nothing more annoying than waiting for champagne to chill, which is why Veuve Clicquot is launching the Clicquot Cooler as part of its Road to the Sun campaign. The cooler is not only a handy way to transport your champagne but also acts as a chiller to keep it nice and cold—even when you’re outdoors. It’s available in two options: yellow for the Brut Champagne and rosé for the Rosé Champagne variants from Veuve Clicquot.
The Clicquot Cooler will be available in BoozeiT, The Chamber, Jaya Grocer, AEON, Cellar 18 and online at The Good Stuff.
