Many companies send out wine or branded items during the holidays. But most stop at just the product. Without a message, these gifts feel impersonal—just another transaction.
When gifts lack a personal touch, they’re quickly forgotten. They don’t help strengthen business ties or encourage long-term loyalty. Clients appreciate thoughtfulness. Without it, you lose the chance to make the brand memorable when it matters most—at the year’s close.
Adding a short, customised message can shift how a gift is received. It creates an emotional connection, shows appreciation, and reminds the client why they chose your company in the first place.
If you’re ordering branded wines with custom labels, use these message ideas as a starting point. Each one is designed to suit professional relationships, while still feeling warm and personal.

Making it personal on the label
A short note on a wine label does more than decorate—it adds meaning. Here’s how to keep it thoughtful:
- Keep it short. One or two sentences work best.
- Use “we” or “our team” instead of just the company name.
- Avoid phrases that sound like templates. Make it direct.
- Include the year or the season to mark the moment.
- Optional: Add a line explaining why the wine was chosen.
For themed labels, including festive colours or artwork, you can browse our Christmas wine collection to match your message with the right bottle.
How to print these messages on wine labels
If you’re ordering your wine and labels through Wine Design, we’ll help you place any of these messages directly on the bottle.
Labels are printed using your preferred font, colours, and layout. If you already have a logo or design in mind, we’ll make sure it fits the space. For those who need a starting point, we can help you select a label layout and message combination.
Each bottle can be fully customised to reflect your branding, your message, and the tone of the season.
Include a small tag for extra meaning
If space is limited on the label, add a simple tag or small card with a message. You can handwrite these or print them along with the bottle label.
Examples:
- “Chosen for its bold notes and lasting impression—just like your support this year.”
- “This bottle was selected to match the tone of the season—grateful and strong.”
These help the gift stand out, especially when sent in bulk or given out at events.
When to order and send your gifts
For corporate gifting, don’t wait until mid-December. Aim to have your orders finalised and shipped before the first week of December to avoid courier delays and last-minute issues.
All orders at Wine Design include:
- Delivery tracking
- Australia-wide delivery
- Custom labelling
- Support with label layout and content
