Only if the recipient's name is Charley Weaver.

Only if you know the person well enough to know they imbibe in alcohol.

I think so. I give a self bottled local wine to my clients.....We still have a few wineries in the neighborhood.

The custom label sticker with my name & this photo on it costs as much as wine..... That is another story.

For some people, not for me.

Richie Alan Naggar my most recent client asked for a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue.  Ok ... Whatever 

Only for those you know will appreciate this gift.

My favorite answer: depends:) For Russian and Armenian clients it would be quite acceptable. 

It's a great gift, unless the recipiant doesn't drink.  I try to find out first.

Um, make mine Gray Goose!

If you know the person enjoys it, yes. 

LOL...I gave wine as a gift to my broker and his wife at our company dinner. His wife freaked out. I found the bottle in another part of the state on my travels. His wife freaked out because she can't find that wine around here and had it on her travels to the state of PA. She absolutely loved it. And didn't know where she was going to get it. Serendipity? It sure was. 

To the right person yes

Depends who the recipient is.  A

If I'm the recipient, YES.   

Richie Alan Naggar It depends on the person.

Yes .

It is a good gift it you know the receivers taste. So giving me Asti Spumante is going to make me defriend you on Facebook.

Alcohol is not the best gift unless you definitely know the preferences of the recipient.

To people who do not have a problem with it, yes.

It can be.  Someone bought me a really great bottle of scotch because they know I love it....1 bottle's lasted me a full year and still has plenty left.  

Not if you're giving it to someone who's in AA!  

If you know the client or person drinks than fine. Otherwise try a bottle of wine with cheese and crackers; you will know in a hurry!

I think it depends on the person the gift is for. Novelty bottles are always good gifts for the bottle collector, if the person isn't a drinker..

Yes, my address is in my profile and I prefer 18y/o (or older) single barrel Scotch. 

Definitely depends on the person.  We used to get wine all the time.  Just try to know the person to see if it would be appropriate and be ready to appologize if you give it to an AA member or prohibitionist by accident!

I think wine is a perfect gift. Limit hard liquor to those I know well!

if you know they will enjoy it..if not keep it...win/win

Sure...If the recipient drinks...Why not?

For some I suppose, I don't drink at all anymore so it would just be for decorations if I got any.

I think it depends on who is getting the gift.

It depends. I bring cases of wine and spirits to our escrow officers and local lenders. They love it and they always tell me about the occasion they partake. :D
You do have to know the person well enough to know if they imbibe, though. When in doubt, leave it out.

Not usually, but it could depend on well you know the recipient. Do you both visit wineries, breweries, etc to test new products and flavors? if so, alchohol might be ok as a gift.

I would have to be certain that the person drinks alcohol and what their favorite would be.

Only if you are invited over for dinner. As a "gift", wouldn't do it.

Hello Richie, depends on the person.  I have been known to give cookies or wine.

My preference is NO to the gift of alcohol.

Several issues must be considered.

Is the selection ICONIC

Does it possess special significance to the reciepiant?

Will it be consumed while visiting?

Based on the responses the answer could be yes.
