In the last few years, creative takes on the traditional Christmas advent calendar have exploded - gone are the days of a standard chocolatey treat behind each door (although we’ll still take one of those if you are reading this Mum), instead having been replaced by all sorts of artisan food and drink options. From gourmet popcorn to cheese truckles, there's an advent calendar to suit everyone. It's not just foodies that have been able to step up their advent calendar game though.
Those who appreciate a fine tipple can also enjoy something new this year, thanks to the abundance of alcohol advent calendars that have launched. Each of these calendars come pre-filled with a selection of miniature or full-sized wine bottles to enjoy in the run-up to Christmas, or you could even save them up for the big day itself and share them between friends and family.
There is something deliciously grown-up and luxe feeling about having a wine advent calendar. In many ways, it is even better than having a traditional chocolate advent calendar, as rather than scoffing a chocolatey treat first thing, you can go about your day knowing that you have a glass of wine waiting for you when you get home.
