Traditionally, cognac is considered a good gift for a man-boss on a holiday date. But the choice of a noble drink should be approached carefully, so as not to spoil the impression of the gift.
What to look for when choosing cognac
To begin with, I would like to note that there are a lot of fakes on the alcoholic beverages market, which at first glance are difficult to notice. But the connoisseur will definitely feel the fake drink, and you will put yourself in an awkward position. Therefore, when choosing alcoholic beverages, try to avoid dubious stores.
Many are sure that the more expensive the cognac is, the better, but in reality it is not. There is a huge variety of inexpensive cognacs that are famous for their excellent taste.
The most expensive cognac in the world is Henri IV, Cognac Grande Champagne. The price per bottle is about two million dollars. Cognac has a century of aging, sold in bottles, trimmed with diamonds and gold.
For example, the well-known company Metaxa offers cognac of excellent quality and in any price range. Also excellent drinks are offered by Sourvoisier, Camus and Klinkov. Many connoisseurs mark Armenian cognacs, for example, Samkon, which can also be used as a gift.
Men-bosses are most often versed in cognac products, but sometimes vice versa. If you know for sure that your boss belongs to the second type of bosses, choose an inexpensive cognac, because if you buy a very expensive collectible bottle of a reputable brand, it is not a fact that the boss will appreciate this gift. Rely only on taste, then you can not waste your money and please your bosses.
What else do you need for a good gift
Any gift will be more pleasant if it is properly wrapped. Gift wrapping is the most important attribute of any gift, and even more so cognac for the bosses. Take the packaging and the choice of a bottle very seriously, because, as you know, people are greeted by their clothes.
Many people know that brandy lovers often donate a gift, and your bottle can be remembered solely by its appearance. If the holiday is common - February 23, New Year and the like - most likely, when you come to choose cognac in the store, it will already be in a gift box or it will be offered to pack it right in front of you.
It's also worth considering related products. If your boss smokes, a good selection of cigars will be a great addition to the cognac. Cognac glasses are perfect as a gift for a non-smoking man.
Traditionally, a bar of high-quality dark chocolate is presented along with cognac.
You can also donate a set of sweets, as well as fruits and other snacks - but this is only if you plan to drink this bottle with your superiors.
Basic rules for a good gift
To summarize all of the above, we get a small set of rules for choosing brandy:
- cognac must be of high quality, bought in a trusted place;
- good cognac is not necessarily expensive;
- if the boss is well versed in cognac products - cognac should be expensive, if bad - inexpensive and tasty;
- an important attribute of a gift is packaging;
- don't forget about related products.
